Abstract

Aim: In our study, in Northwest Syria, where healthcare is provided with humanitarian support, with investigating the demographic and clinical characteristics of people who has been detected Coronavirus disease-2019 (COVID-19), we investigated their situation in the pandemic. Materials and Methods: The demographic and clinical characteristics of people whose COVID-19 polymerase chain reaction (PCR) tests were studied and found positive in the World Health Organization supported assistance coordination unit laboratories in Northwest Syria, were retrospectively investigated. All patients except healthcare workers were included in the study between 01/05-22/12/2020. Results: 17,070 non-healthcare workers who were positive for COVID-19 PCR were included in the study. 6.368 (37.3%) of the participants were female and 10,702 (62.7%) were male. The average age of the participants was 37.7 +/- 16.4 years. The data obtained that there were 1.090 (6.4%) people hospitalized or undergoing isolation. When comorbid diseases were investigated, hypertension was found in 435 (2.5%), diabetes in 426 (2.5%), and heart disease in 139 (0.8%) people. When evaluated in terms of prognosis, 56% (n=9584) of the patientsshowed complete recovery, 41.8% (n=7141) recovered and their symptoms persist, but 345 (2%) patients died of COVID-19, including 106 of them are women (female crude death rate: 1.6%) and 239 of them are men (crude death rate: 2.23%). Conclusion: In our study, we presented a cross-sectional analysis of almost all people with COVID-19 in the last half of the 2020 by investigating the demographic and clinical characteristics of people with COVID-19 in Northwest Syria. COVID-19 diagnoses were evaluated according to the PCR test result.
