Epidemiological characteristics, clinical features
and outcomes of patients with COVID-19 admitted
to seven reference centers across Greece: An
observational study during the fourth and fifth waves
of the COVID-19 pandemic
INTRODUCTION Epidemiological data from hospitalized patients with COVID-19 during the fourth and fifth waves of the pandemic have been published worldwide. METHODS This registry was an observational, prospective study conducted in seven reference hospitals across Greece. Maximum FiO 2 during hospitalization and Charlson comorbidity index (CCI) on admission were correlated with disease severity, as well as radiological features, parameters of complete blood count, and d-dimer. RESULTS A total of 1019 patients were included in the analysis; 55.1% and 57.2% of patients were males and never smokers, respectively, with median age of 67 years (95% CI: 65.7–69.0). Patients with increased extent of consolidation and ground glass opacities in chest CT (>10–25%) exhibited more advanced disease compared to the low extent group (<10%) as indicated by both CCI on admission (3; 95% CI: 2–3 vs 2; 95% CI: 1–2, p=0.0002) and MaxFiO 2 (0.40; 95% CI: 0.35–0.40 vs 0.28; 95% CI: 0.24–0.28, p<0.0001). Patients with high neutrophil to lymphocyte ratio (≥4.42) exhibited more severe disease as indicated by significantly increased CCI on admission (4; 95% CI: 3 to 4 vs 3; 95% CI: 2–3, p<0.0001) and MaxFiO 2 (0.35; 95% CI: 0.35–0.4 vs 0.28; 95% CI: 0.28–0.28, p<0.0001). Patients with elevated d-dimer (≥0.74 μg/mL) displayed also advanced disease compared to the low d-dimer group (<0.74 μg/mL), as assessed by both CCI on admission (4; 95% CI: 4–4 vs 2; 95% CI: 2–2, p<0.0001) and MaxFiO 2 (0.38; 95% CI: 0.35–0.40 vs 0.28; 95% CI: 0.28–0.28, p<0.0001). CONCLUSIONS We present the first observational study across Greece during the fourth and fifth waves of the COVID-19 pandemic. Extent of opacities in chest CT, neutrophil to lymphocyte ratio and d-dimer may represent reliable disease prognostic factors leading to timely therapeutic interventions.
