Abstract
Abstract Objectives The Coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) is a new viral disease of the coronavirus family that has a close relationship with SARS species. This study aims to identify factors affecting the recovery of COVID-19 patients in a population with a majority of Kurdish residents. Methods For this purpose, all clinical and demographic parameters were collected from patients with COVID-19 who were outpatients or hospitalized in Kurdistan province (located in western Iran) from March to June 2020. We used the binary logistic regression model to recognition affecting factors to recovery in the COVID-19. Results According to the results of this study, age, sex, coronary heart disease (CHD), cancer, and using antiviral drugs were associated with the chance of recovery. Conclusions Based on the findings of this study, it can be concluded that the chances of recovery of COVID-19 patients who are elderly or have underlying diseases such as CHD or cancer are low. On the other hand, viral drugs are effective in increasing the chances of recovery.
期刊介绍：
Epidemiologic Methods (EM) seeks contributions comparable to those of the leading epidemiologic journals, but also invites papers that may be more technical or of greater length than what has traditionally been allowed by journals in epidemiology. Applications and examples with real data to illustrate methodology are strongly encouraged but not required. Topics. genetic epidemiology, infectious disease, pharmaco-epidemiology, ecologic studies, environmental exposures, screening, surveillance, social networks, comparative effectiveness, statistical modeling, causal inference, measurement error, study design, meta-analysis
