“…ceftriaxone (19.64%), and injection meropenem (8.92%). Similar to our results numerous research workers have shown azithromycin and hydroxychloroquine to be most frequently prescribed in COVID-19 patients [12,[22][23][24].…”

“…The majority of patients were having education below matriculation (50%). Similar to our observations, other studies have also documented males to be predominantly affected with COVID-19 [12,13]. Perhaps, the reason for this may be due to increased mobility among males compared to females who mostly remain confined to their home in rural setup.…”

Objective: The objective of present study was to assess the treatment pattern in the COVID-19 patients. Methods: The present study was a hospital-based prospective observational conducted in Government Medical College Kathua (UT Jammu and Kashmir) on COVID-19 positive confirmed cases from December 2020 to January 2021. Consent was taken from patients who were willing to participate in the study. The details of presenting complaints and treatment received by them and outcome of management was recorded and evaluated from their treatment files. Results: A total 56 patients of COVID-19 were enrolled for the study. Majority of them were males (60.71%) and maximum of the patients between 18 and 60 years constituted 69.6%. COPD (28.5%), severe anemia (21.42%), and diabetes mellitus and hypertension (19.64% each) were common comorbidities. Sore throat, dry cough, and breathlessness were common presenting symptoms. Pattern of antibiotics and antivirals revealed that azithromycin was frequently prescribed (87.5%) followed by hydroxychloroquine (44.64%), linzolid (21.42%), ceftriaxone (19.64%), and remdesivir (14.28%). Majority of patients (>50%) were treated with steroids, while all patients received multivitamins and Vitamin C (100%) and nearly 40% were administered zinc therapy. Conclusions: Azithromycin, hydroxyquinine, remdesivir, and steroids were frequently prescribed in patients of COVID-19. Steroids were administered in oral, inhaler or in injection forms. Multivitamins including Vitamin C were given to all patients. Most of patients had comorbidities including COPD, diabetes mellitus type 2 and severe anemia.

“…In our study, 29.3% patient had comorbidities and of them 52.3% died. Mean age group in our study was 45.43 y and the predominant age group in Thakur et al was 31-51 in about 50% cases and similar finding was seen in S N Hasan et al [18]. The both wave cumulative mortality in our study was around 16% and only Teli J G et al [17] documented the mortality around 4.3%.…”

“…The spectrum clinical features included fever (29-84%), headache (16-50%), cough (32-59%), asthenia (16-70.3%), myalgia (16-58%), shortness of breath (10-27%), gastrointestinal symptoms (0.06-14%), loss of smell and taste (33-72%) and rhinorrhoea (6-16%). The clinical spectrum in our study is in accordance [16,17,18]. Only Teli J G et al documented the laboratory findings among death cases and had elevated inflammatory markers in all the subjects like Ferritin, CRP, D-dimer and LDH.…”

Objective: In this study, an attempt has been made to report the clinical profile, exposure characteristics and outcomes of the COVID-19 patients admitted to our rural tertiary care facility. Methods: It is a single-centric retrospective observational study and includes data from January 2020 to March 2022. The data were retrieved from patient files. We have recorded patient demography, clinical and laboratory parameters and outcome of the patients. Patients were categorized based on disease severity according to WHO guidelines. Appropriate statistical analysis was applied and p value<0.05 was considered as significant. Results: A total of 2339 patients were included in this study. Total males were 67%, mean age group was 45.43±18.48 y (0 to 101 y), with majority belonging to 46-60 y age group (27.2%). Total comorbid patients were 29.3% with 9.4% accounting for more than one comorbidities. Most common comorbidity noted was diabetes mellitus 15.8% followed by hypertension 13.4%. Total mortality was noted to be 16.2%. Fever was the most common symptom (92%) followed by cough (51%) and myalgia (30%). Disease severity and outcome was significantly correlated with advancing age and the presence of underlying comorbidities. Conclusion: Rural population had comparable proportion of comorbidities as well as mortality. Common risk factors for severe disease in rural setting were similar to urban setting and old age and more than one comorbidities. Country-wide rural data should be collected for a better understanding of COVID-19 disease in rural and remote population.
