Abstract
The aim of the study was to identify the features of the unfavorable clinical course of a new coronavirus infection.
Material and methods. The analysis of clinical data, laboratory results and comorbidity of 168 patients with a confirmed diagnosis of a new coronavirus infection aged 65,0 [57,0; 74,0] years was carried out. Two groups of patients were distinguished – 126 persons with a moderate course and with clinical recovery in the outcome of the disease and 42 persons with a severe course and a fatal outcome of the disease. Transnosological polymorbidity was assessed by the average number of nosologies corresponding to the three-digit ICD-10 rubricification, transsystemic – by the number of affected systems. Hemogram parameters, blood content of C-reactive protein, creatinine, urea, glucose, prothrombin index, international normalized ratio, activated partial thromboplastin time, platelet count, D-dimer concentration were estimated.
Results. In the group of patients with fatal outcomes, compared to patients with recovery, there were statistically significantly higher indices of transnosological and transsystemic polymorbidity (1.5 and 2 times, respectively), they were more likely to have ischaemic heart disease, myocardial infarction, transient ischemic attack in anamnesis, atrial fibrillation, chronic heart failure; blood concentration of C-reactive protein, fasting glucose, urea, D-dimer in the blood serum was higher, the number of thrombocytes was less.
Conclusions. A high degree of transnosological and transsystemic polymorbidity, a history of myocardial infarction and transient ischemic attack, comorbid chronic heart failure, atrial fibrillation, an increase in D-dimer, CRP content, and a decrease in platelet number are predictors of severe course and the lethal outcome of COVID-19.
