COVID-19 is associated with significant morbidity and mortality. This study aimed to explore the early predictors of intensive care unit (ICU) admission among patients with COVID-19.
This was a case-control study of adult patients with confirmed COVID-19. Cases were defined as patients admitted to ICU during the period February 29-May 29, 2020. For each case enrolled, one control was matched by age and gender.
A total of 1,560 patients with confirmed COVID-19 were included. Each group included 780 patients with a predominant male gender (89.7%) and a median age of 49 years (interquartile range = 18). Predictors independently associated with ICU admission were cardiovascular disease (adjusted odds ratio (aOR) = 1.64, 95% confidence interval (CI): 1.16-2.32, = 0.005), diabetes (aOR = 1.52, 95% CI: 1.08-2.13, = 0.016), obesity (aOR = 1.46, 95% CI: 1.03-2.08, = 0.034), lymphopenia (aOR = 2.69, 95% CI: 1.80-4.02, < 0.001), high AST (aOR = 2.59, 95% CI: 1.53-4.36, < 0.001), high ferritin (aOR = 1.96, 95% CI: 1.40-2.74, < 0.001), high CRP (aOR = 4.09, 95% CI: 2.81-5.96, < 0.001), and dyspnea (aOR = 2.50, 95% CI: 1.77-3.54, < 0.001).
Having cardiovascular disease, diabetes, obesity, lymphopenia, dyspnea, and increased AST, ferritin, and CRP were independent predictors for ICU admission in patients with COVID-19.
COVID-19 与显著的发病率和死亡率相关。本研究旨在探索 COVID-19 患者入住重症监护病房(ICU)的早期预测因素。
这是一项对 2020 年 2 月 29 日至 5 月 29 日期间确诊 COVID-19 的成年患者进行的病例对照研究。病例定义为入住 ICU 的患者。为每个纳入的病例匹配一名年龄和性别相匹配的对照。
共纳入 1560 例确诊 COVID-19 患者。每组包括 780 名主要为男性(89.7%)和中位年龄为 49 岁(四分位间距=18)的患者。与 ICU 入院相关的独立预测因素包括心血管疾病(调整后的优势比(aOR)=1.64,95%置信区间(CI):1.16-2.32,=0.005)、糖尿病(aOR=1.52,95%CI:1.08-2.13,=0.016)、肥胖症(aOR=1.46,95%CI:1.03-2.08,=0.034)、淋巴细胞减少症(aOR=2.69,95%CI:1.80-4.02,<0.001)、高 AST(aOR=2.59,95%CI:1.53-4.36,<0.001)、高铁蛋白血症(aOR=1.96,95%CI:1.40-2.74,<0.001)、高 CRP(aOR=4.09,95%CI:2.81-5.96,<0.001)和呼吸困难(aOR=2.50,95%CI:1.77-3.54,<0.001)。
患有心血管疾病、糖尿病、肥胖症、淋巴细胞减少症、呼吸困难以及 AST、铁蛋白和 CRP 升高是 COVID-19 患者入住 ICU 的独立预测因素。
