Characterization of patients with COVID -19 according to clinical groups
Abstract
Background: the incidence of positive cases to COVID-19 in pediatric and adult ages has been increasing, generating collapses in health services due to the high numbers of infections around the world.
Objective: to characterize patients of pediatric and adult ages; positive for COVID-19 in the Camagüey and Ciego de Ávila provinces, according to clinical groups.
Methods: a descriptive cross-sectional study was carried out at the Dr. Octavio de la Concepción y de la Pedraja Teaching Clinical Surgical Military Hospital, during the period from March 2020 to July 2020. The universe consisted of 90 diagnosed patients with Covid-19. The information collected in the clinical records was included in a form and clinical groups positive for COVID-19 were considered as dependent variables: asymptomatic and symptomatic, and as independent variables: age groups, sex, comorbidities, source of infection, complications and the groups according to symptoms according to the classification of the London King's College.
Results: symptomatic patients were more frequent, the age group most affected was that of 27 to 59 years in both clinical forms, both sexes were infected in a similar way. Complications were more frequent in the symptomatic group, where pneumonia and bronchopneumonia were the most representative.
Conclusions: symptomatic patients and the source of autochthonous infection were more frequent in pediatric and adult ages. Complications were rare in these age groups and pneumonia and bronchopneumonia the most common.
