Abstract

Objective: Describe clinical features, paraclinical characteristics and prognostic factors of death in severe and critical COVID-19 patients treated at National Hospital of Tropical Diseases. Materials and methodes: A cross-sectional study was carried 141 severe and critical COVID-19 patients. Results: Common symptoms of severe and critical COVID-19 include: shortness of breath (56.0%), dry cough (37.6%), sputum production (29.1%), muscle pain (18.4%), diarrhea (13.5%), sore throat (9.2%). Abnormal laboratory test results in severe and critical COVID-19 patients include leukocytosis (41.1%), anemia (35.5%), thrombocytopenia (27%), increased d-dimer (73.5%), increased liver enzymes (>46%), decreased albumin (61.4%), increased CRP (84.5%). Age > 65 is a significant independent predictor of mortality in COVID-19 patients.
