There is a growing body of evidence for the interrelation between health status and religious beliefs. Our aim was to evaluate the level of religiosity in patients hospitalized for COVID-19 and to assess the link between religiosity and measurable health outcomes. This was an observational, single-center study which included patients with moderate-to-severe forms of COVID-19. A total of 112 patients were enrolled in the study, of whom 77 were highly religious (CRS-15 score ≥ 4) and 35 non-highly religious (CRS-15 score < 4). There was no difference in demographics or prevalence of comorbidities between the two groups. Furthermore, we found no difference between groups in radiological extension of lung lesions, length of hospital stays, or ICU need; however, in-hospital mortality rate was significantly lower in highly religious group (1% vs. 14%, p = 0.005). Serum ferritin level at admission was significantly lower (p = 0.03) and prevalence of post-COVID-19 pulmonary sequelae significantly higher in highly religious group (p = 0.02).
越来越多的证据表明健康状况与宗教信仰之间存在相互关系。我们的目的是评估因新冠肺炎住院患者的宗教虔诚程度，并评估宗教虔诚与可测量的健康结果之间的联系。这是一项观察性单中心研究，纳入了中重度新冠肺炎患者。共有112名患者参与了该研究，其中77名宗教虔诚度高（CRS - 15评分≥4），35名宗教虔诚度不高（CRS - 15评分<4）。两组在人口统计学或合并症患病率方面没有差异。此外，我们发现两组在肺部病变的放射学范围、住院时间或入住重症监护病房需求方面没有差异；然而，宗教虔诚度高的组院内死亡率显著更低（1%对14%，p = 0.005）。入院时血清铁蛋白水平显著更低（p = 0.03），宗教虔诚度高的组新冠肺炎后肺部后遗症的患病率显著更高（p = 0.02）。
