“…Each logistic regression model is presented with its Odds Ratio (OR), 95% Confidence Interval (CI95%), and its "p value". Finally, those symptoms that maintained statistical significance trough multivariate analysis were consolidated (15,16), and a Progression According to Initial Symptom Index (C-19PAIS Index) was created, its different stratums were contrasted against age and comorbidities.…”

Objective COVID-19 progression to severe or critical illness may be related to initial clinical presentation. Main objective was to identify initial symptoms related to highest risk of disease progression, in mild or moderate suspected or confirmed COVID-19 patients or in asymptomatic subjects in contact with a recently diagnosed patient. Design and methods Historic cohort study of Mexican patients with suspected or confirmed mild or moderate COVID-19 or asymptomatic subjects in recent contact with positive patients. They sought medical attention in Centro Medico ABC or claimed for remote attention, and daily telemedicine follow up until recovery or illness progression, from April 17th to October 08th 2020. Data excerpted for analysis were sex, age, body mass index, comorbidities, and signs, and symptoms presented in first day of disease manifestations and during follow up. We used logistic regression to identify initial symptoms associated with progression disease and through a conjunctive consolidation analysis a symptom index was created. Results 120 of 1635 patients (7.2%) had clinical progression disease. By logistic regression we found as initial symptoms related to progression: fever OR 3 (1.89-4.77, p<0.001), cough OR 2.34 (1.56-3.52, p<0.001), myalgias or arthralgias OR 1.69 (1.09-2.63, p=0.018), and fatigue OR 1.65 (1.08-2.53, p=0.019). Conjunctive consolidation was processed with the previous symptoms, and a 3 groups score resulted C-19PAIS Index: 1) Fever with cough or fever with fatigue, with a probability of progression disease of 29% (31/106 patients), 2) Fever or cough or fatigue or cough with fatigue, 10.7% (66/615 patients) and 3) No fever, no cough, no fatigue, 2% (23/914). Conclusions Initial symptoms predict clinical progression in COVID-19 patients.
