BACKGROUND
The COVID-19 pandemic impacted worldwide. The Basque Country was one of the regions in Spain most affected by the virus.
METHODS
In this retrospective study, we took advantage of the Basque Health Service electronic health records data lake of over 20,000 deceased individuals, including 5000 positives for COVID-19, between 2020 and 2022 in Gipuzkoa (Basque Country, Spain).
RESULTS
Comparison between COVID-19-positive and negative individuals' showed that the prevalence of infections was higher inside nursing homes and COVID-19 promoted a significant rise in hospitalizations, emergency entrances, and ICU admissions. No differences were observed between genders in terms of infections or survival but were detected in health resources and vaccination showed a strong protective effect against the disease.
CONCLUSIONS
Our results provided a complete characterization of the impact of COVID-19 on the Basque population, which expands the knowledge of the pandemic on older individuals and the health system. Our study also highlights the benefit of the use of Electronic Health Records in studying human diseases.
背景
COVID-19 大流行在全球范围内产生了影响。巴斯克地区是西班牙受病毒影响最严重的地区之一。
方法
在这项回顾性研究中，我们利用巴斯克卫生服务电子健康记录数据湖（超过 20000 名死者的数据，其中包括 2020 年至 2022 年在吉普斯夸（巴斯克地区，西班牙）的 5000 名 COVID-19 阳性患者）。
结果
COVID-19 阳性和阴性个体之间的比较表明，感染的发生率在养老院中更高，COVID-19 导致住院、急诊和 ICU 入院的人数显著增加。感染或生存方面没有观察到性别差异，但在卫生资源方面存在差异，接种疫苗对该疾病具有很强的保护作用。
结论
我们的研究结果全面描述了 COVID-19 对巴斯克人群的影响，这扩展了对老年人和卫生系统中该大流行的认识。我们的研究还强调了在研究人类疾病中使用电子健康记录的益处。
