Abstract

Background: Increasing the number of COVID-19 patients raises concerns about the capacity of the health care system. This issue emphasizes reducing the admission rate and expediting patient discharge.

Objective: This study aimed to develop a discharge protocol for COVID-19 patients based on the existing capacity of the healthcare system and to assess its post-discharge outcomes.

Methods: This is a multicenter cohort study. All COVID-19 patients referred to selected medical centers in Qom, Iran, from Feb. 19 to Apr. 19, 2020, were target populations. Eligible patients were classified into a) the criterion group and b) the non-criterion group. Patients were followed up daily for 14 days after discharge by phone, and the required data was gathered and recorded in follow-up form. Univariate (chi-square and t-tests) and multivariate multiple (multivariate probit regression) analysis were used.

Results: A total of 2775 patients were included in the study (1440 people in the criterion group and 1335 in the non-criterion group). Based on multivariate probit regression, death was statistically associated with discharge outside our criteria (p<0.001), rising age (p<0.001), and being male (p=0.019), and readmission were associated with discharge outside our criteria (p<0.001), rising age (p=0.009), and having the history of underlying diseases (p=0.003). Furthermore, remission had statistically significant associations with discharge based on our criteria (p<0.001), decreasing age (p=0.001), and lack of a history of underlying diseases (p<0.001).

Conclusion: Mortality and readmission were significantly lower according to our discharge criteria. Our designed criteria apply to less developed and developing countries due to the limited capacity and resources available in the health care system.

COVID-19确诊患者出院是基于世卫组织标准还是区域标准?一项队列研究。
背景:COVID-19患者人数的增加引发了人们对卫生保健系统能力的担忧。这个问题强调降低住院率和加快病人出院。目的:本研究旨在根据现有医疗系统的能力制定COVID-19患者的出院方案,并评估其出院后结果。方法:这是一项多中心队列研究。2020年2月19日至4月19日在伊朗库姆选定的医疗中心转诊的所有COVID-19患者都是目标人群。将符合条件的患者分为a)标准组和b)非标准组。出院后,每天对患者进行14天的电话随访,收集所需资料并记录在随访表中。采用单因素(卡方检验和t检验)和多因素(多因素probit回归)分析。结果:共纳入2775例患者(标准组1440例,非标准组1335例)。基于多变量概率回归,死亡与超出我们标准的出院有统计学关联(结论:根据我们的出院标准,死亡率和再入院率显著降低。由于卫生保健系统的能力和资源有限,我们设计的标准适用于欠发达国家和发展中国家。

期刊介绍: Infectious Disorders - Drug Targets aims to cover all the latest and outstanding developments on the medicinal chemistry, pharmacology, molecular biology, genomics and biochemistry of contemporary molecular targets involved in infectious disorders e.g. disease specific proteins, receptors, enzymes, genes. Each issue of the journal contains a series of timely in-depth reviews written by leaders in the field covering a range of current topics on drug targets involved in infectious disorders. As the discovery, identification, characterization and validation of novel human drug targets for anti-infective drug discovery continues to grow, this journal will be essential reading for all pharmaceutical scientists involved in drug discovery and development.
