BACKGROUND
The incidence of corona-virus-positive persons in Africa, notably in Ethiopia, is rapidly increasing, leading to enhanced analyses. Even though the majority of people exhibit COVID-19's key symptoms, many refuse to go to the hospital to have the virus tested. This study aims to assess probable COVID-19 participants and the related characteristics among residents of Northwest Ethiopian municipal towns.
METHODS
This project contains participants enlisted from Northwest Ethiopia municipal towns, and a cross-sectional data collection approach was employed. A total of 1,288 arbitrarily designated contestants accomplished an actively screening test questionnaire that was used to assess whether the participants were suspected of coronavirus. The statistical analysis Chi-square test and a binary logistic regression were implemented.
RESULTS
Among the 1,288 designated contestants, 788 (61.2%) of them were men. About 77.5% of the participants were from orthodox religion and 12.2% live in the rural area permanently. As compared to female participants (45.9%), the number of suspected male participants (54.1%) was higher. As compared to societies in Woldya municipal town, populations in Bahir Dar (aOR = 0.101;95% CI = 0.065,0.156), Gondar (aOR = 0.072;95% CI = 0.043,0.122), and Debre Markos (aOR = 0.368;95% CI = 0.271,0.501) municipal town were less likely to be suspected of COVID-19. Equated to the employed contestants, unemployed contestants had lower odds of being suspected of COVID-19 (aOR = 0.147; 95% CI = 0.1160.186).
CONCLUSION
The prevalence of suspected cases of coronavirus in Northwest Ethiopia was considerably high. The city of residence, work status, hospital use, marital status, permanent residence, and source of information were important determinants of suspected cases of coronavirus. Thus, timely diagnosis of suspected cases of coronavirus and taking the appropriate remedial action help to reduce the spread and mortality rate.
背景
非洲，特别是埃塞俄比亚，冠状病毒阳性病例的发病率迅速上升，促使人们进行了更多的分析。尽管大多数人表现出 COVID-19 的主要症状，但许多人拒绝去医院进行病毒检测。本研究旨在评估西北埃塞俄比亚城市居民中可能的 COVID-19 参与者和相关特征。
方法
本项目包括来自西北埃塞俄比亚城市的参与者，采用横断面数据收集方法。共有 1288 名随机指定的参赛者完成了主动筛查测试问卷，用于评估参与者是否疑似冠状病毒。采用卡方检验和二项逻辑回归进行统计分析。
结果
在 1288 名指定参赛者中，788 名（61.2%）为男性。约 77.5%的参与者来自东正教，12.2%的人永久居住在农村地区。与女性参与者（45.9%）相比，疑似男性参与者的人数（54.1%）更高。与沃尔达市的社会相比，巴希尔达尔市（aOR=0.101；95%CI=0.065,0.156）、贡德尔市（aOR=0.072；95%CI=0.043,0.122）和德布雷马科斯市（aOR=0.368；95%CI=0.271,0.501）的居民被怀疑感染 COVID-19 的可能性较小。与在职参赛者相比，失业参赛者被怀疑感染 COVID-19 的可能性较低（aOR=0.147；95%CI=0.1160.186）。
结论
在西北埃塞俄比亚，疑似冠状病毒病例的患病率相当高。居住地、工作状态、医院使用、婚姻状况、常住地和信息来源是疑似冠状病毒病例的重要决定因素。因此，及时诊断疑似冠状病毒病例并采取适当的补救措施有助于减少传播和死亡率。
