“…As well as examining the ferritin, which is higher in severe cases than in the moderate, because the ferritin increases in the acute phase [15]. The d-dimer test was also measured, which increases in severe cases than in moderate ones, due to the cytokine storm (immunity system) [16,20], and the CRP test, which was higher in severe cases than in moderate ones, its increase reflects the severity of the disease [17,21].…”

Coronavirus disease infects the respiratory system through binding to the receptor of angiotensin-converting enzyme2(ACE2), Symptoms of the disease develop within 5-6 days after infection, accompanied by mild to moderate symptoms in the initial stage of the disease, and continue for 10-15 days. But it has the potential to develop into severe acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS), which leads to the destruction of multiple organs in the body, including the beta cells in the islets of Langerhans in the pancreas, causing type 1 or type 2 diabetes and high blood sugar. The aim of the study is to detect diabetes mellitus in people with COVID-19 who did not have diabetes and did not have a family history of the disease before they were exposed to the virus. COVID-19 was diagnosed by nasal swab through PCR Real-time. The detection of diabetes was through blood tests such as blood sugar, and glycated hemoglobin (HbA1C), and the acute stage of the infection was detected through Dimer, LDH, Ferritin, and C -reactive protein (CRP) tests. From the results that obtained during the research, it was found that the patient percentage with diabetes due to the virus is 20% of type I, while 80% diabetes of type II.

“…Since this virus belongs to the corona virus family, it was called SARS-CoV-2, where the first SARS-CoV-1 virus was discovered in 2003. 1,2 The recent virus, SARS-CoV-2, main issue is its high transmission rate, which resulted in an out-of-control pandemic. 2 As the numbers of infection and, definitely, mortality increased, governments declared lockdown on factories, transportations, schools, and any other gathering places, as an attempt to stop the infection.…”

“…In fact, as much as the age increases, the possibility of having severe illness conditions and death increases. 2 Different protocols of therapy were used to treat COVID-19 patients; these included different types of medications, practices, types of food and herbs, etc. 3,4 As a result, the mortality rate decreased gradually comparing with the first period of the disease spreading.…”

Background: COVID-19 is an ongoing disease that caused, and still causes, many challenges for humanity. In fact, COVID-19 death cases reached more than 4.5 million by the end of August 2021, although an improvement in the medical treatments and pharmaceutical protocols was obtained, and many vaccines were released. Objective: To, statistically, analyze the data of COVID-19 patients at Alshifaa Healthcare Center (Baghdad, Iraq). Methods: In this work, a statistical analysis was conducted on data included the total number, positive cases, and negative cases of people tested for COVID-19 at the Alshifaa Healthcare Center/Baghdad for the period 1 September – 31 December 2020. The number of people who got the test was 1080, where 424 were infected and the rest of them were not. Results: The study showed that males’ infection and death cases were higher than females by more than double, despite the population ratios of the two genders being almost equal. Furthermore, as the age of patients is older, the chance of death is higher. Death cases were lower in December than the previous three months, which could be attributed to lower infection cases compared with the previous months. Conclusions: We can conclude that the peak of infected ages was the same as the other countries. Hence, the number of checked children was low, while we have the peak around the 40s and 50s. Females’ death cases were much less than males, which could be attributed to the genetic influence and the higher responsibility that females showed than males to prevent the disease’s spreading.
