This study aimed to determine the clinical characteristics of patients diagnosed
with the coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19). Clinical data of COVID-19 patients
diagnosed between January 28, 2020 and February 23, 2020 at the Beijing You'an
Hospital were summarized and analyzed. Overall, 45 (18 men and 27 women) patients
were included in this study. The average age of patients was 58 years (range,
7-94 years). Furthermore, 21 patients (47%) experienced underlying chronic
diseases, with another four patients (9%) having three or more chronic diseases
simultaneously. The first symptoms appeared at the onset of illness onset include
fever in 36 patients (80%), cough in 23 patients (51%), and expectoration in 15
patients (33%), respectively. Patients may experience hepatic and renal injury as
well as abnormal myocardial enzymes in varying degrees. Senior patients (?58) and
accompanying chronic diseases were considered as independent predictors for
developing a severe and critically ill population with increased mortality.
Laboratory results regarding the NEU percentage, NLR, ALC, and C-reactive protein
levels were considered significant in predicting clinically critical disease or
for prognosis assessment and thus require further studies. COVID-19 may affect
multiple organs of the human body. Glucocorticoid is considered effective in the
treatment of patients diagnosed with severe COVID-19.
