Abstract

Background and Aim: Over the past year, COVID-19 has been identified as a major health problem worldwide. The aim of this study was to determine the demographic and clinical characteristics of patients with COVID-19 in Iranshahr hospitals, southeastern Iran in 2020. Methods: In the present cross-sectional study, patients admitted with a definitive diagnosis of COVID-19 in Iranshahr hospitals in April and May 2020 were evaluated (169 patients). The instruments used in this study included a demographic data questionnaire and a checklist to assess the patient's clinical condition. Results: The mean age of patients with COVID-19 was 46 years. The incidence of COVID-19 was slightly higher in men than in women. In patients with COVID-19, a history of hypertension was reported in 24. 3%, heart disease in 22. 5% and diabetes in 12. 4%. Shortness of breath with 71. 6% and cough with 69. 8% were the most common symptoms and chest pain with 7. 7% were the lowest symptoms recorded in patients with COVID-19. 146 people (86. 4%) recovered and 34 (13. 6%) died. Conclusion: People with a history of underlying diseases and old age are at high risk of developing COVID-19, so conservative measures and self-quarantine should be performed for these people. In this study, the findings showed that the most obvious symptoms of COVID-19 are shortness of breath and cough, which can be helpful in diagnosing this disease.
