description | BACKGROUND: The second wave of the coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic resulted in a significant rise in the number of infections and deaths as compared to the first wave. The published literature till now is limited to tertiary hospitals. We did this study to describe the demographic characteristics and outcomes of patients admitted to a secondary care hospital in central India during the second wave of the pandemic. METHODS: This was a single-center, retrospective observational study conducted in a secondary hospital in central India. The data of patients with COVID-19 infection admitted between March 25 to May 25, 2021, were retrieved and analyzed. RESULTS: A total of 184 patients were included in the study. The mean age was 54.8 ± 14.5 years. Comorbidities included hypertension (40.2%), diabetes mellitus (29.9%), hypothyroidism (4.3%), and asthma (2.7%). The most common presenting complaints were cough (78.8%), breathlessness (61.4%), and fever (60.9%). The mean duration of symptoms was 5.4 ± 2.6 days. According to High-Resolution Computerised Tomography (HRCT) chest severity score, 29/181 (16%) patients had mild disease, 135/181 (74.5%) patients had moderate disease, and 17/181 (9.5%) patients had severe disease. The majority of the patients received remdesivir (90.2%) and 123 patients (66.8%) received corticosteroids. Half the patients (52.2%; n = 96) required intensive care unit admission, 79.3% (145 patients) required oxygen support, and 8.1% (15 patients) required non-invasive ventilator support. CONCLUSION: Our study from a secondary hospital setup showed that the second wave was very severe with a high requirement of oxygen support and intensive care monitoring. |
