To investigate the occurrence and identify the factors contributing to hospitalization among individuals diagnosed with COVID-19.
From June 15, 2020 to September 30, 2020, a cross-sectional study utilizing an online questionnaire was carried out in Jordan. The study included 657 COVID-19 patients who had recovered and had reached a minimum of 3 months post-illness. Sociodemographic and COVID-19-related data were collected. The questionnaire was distributed to members of the "My Experience with COVID-19 Association" in Jordan.
The prevalence of hospitalization among COVID-19 patients was 3%. Patients with hypertension (=0.00), diabetes mellitus (=0.00), and heart disease (=0.009); using angiotensin-converting enzyme inhibitors (ACE) and angiotensin-receptor blockers (ARBs) (=0.00); with body mass indexes (BMI) above normal (=0.005); and aged over 45 years (=0.00) were at higher risk of hospitalization. Using an odds ratio (OR), hypertension (OR=7.1), diabetes mellitus (OR=11.4), heart disease (OR=6.3), angiotensin-converting enzyme inhibitors and angiotensin-receptor blockers use (OR=10.8), and having a BMI >25 (OR=5) were significant hospitalization risk factors. The seasonal influenza vaccine, smoking, and neuropsychological symptoms showed no significance.
Identifying high-risk groups can help them monitor their health and take preventive measures against COVID-19 infection.
调查 COVID-19 患者住院的发生情况并确定导致住院的因素。
2020 年 6 月 15 日至 2020 年 9 月 30 日,在约旦进行了一项横断面研究,使用在线问卷进行。研究包括 657 名已康复且疾病后至少 3 个月的 COVID-19 患者。收集社会人口统计学和 COVID-19 相关数据。问卷分发给约旦“我的 COVID-19 经历协会”的成员。
COVID-19 患者的住院率为 3%。患有高血压(=0.00)、糖尿病(=0.00)和心脏病(=0.009);使用血管紧张素转换酶抑制剂(ACE)和血管紧张素受体阻滞剂(ARB)(=0.00);体重指数(BMI)高于正常(=0.005);年龄超过 45 岁(=0.00)的患者住院风险较高。使用比值比(OR),高血压(OR=7.1)、糖尿病(OR=11.4)、心脏病(OR=6.3)、ACE 抑制剂和 ARB 使用(OR=10.8)以及 BMI>25(OR=5)是显著的住院风险因素。季节性流感疫苗、吸烟和神经心理症状无显著意义。
识别高危人群可以帮助他们监测自己的健康状况,并采取预防 COVID-19 感染的措施。
