OBJECTIVES:
The study aimed to investigate the factors affecting corona virus disease outcome of patient admitted to critical care units of Saidu Teaching Hospital Swat.
METHODOLOGY:
A retrospective cohort study design used for the study. The study was conducted in Saidu Teaching Hospital Swat, from 23rd March 2020 till 2nd June 2020 and followed till 30th June 2020. Consecutive/census sampling technique was used in the study. Total 125 patients were sampled in which 99 (79%) were male and 26 (21%) were female. Out of 125 patients 63 were discharged from hospital and 62 died in hospital.
RESULTS:
Mean age of the participants was 56.25 years with standard deviation of 14.45 years. The statistical difference was observed between outcomes of comorbidity in comparison to no comorbidity with P-value (0.001). Oxygen saturation significantly affected outcome in this study. The mean saturation results show that there was statistical difference in outcome of the patient presented with oxygen saturation either high or low.
CONCLUSION:
Older age, comorbidity, high white blood cells count, increased blood urea, serum creatinine, increased D-Dimer level are associated factor for mortality in coronavirus diseased patients.
