Clinical findings:
With respect to comorbidities, the two groups had significant
similarities, and only hyperlipidemia was significantly higher in
positive RT-PCR group (10, 9.0%) (p= 0.024). The most common
comorbidities in positive RT-PCR group were hypertension and diabetes
(28, 25.2%) and (27, 24.3%), respectively. Also, in negative RT-PCR
group, hypertension (11, 20.8%) and diabetes (12, 22.6%) were the most
common comorbidities (Table 1).
We also analyzed the appearance date of symptoms before admission and
found no significant difference between groups (Table 2).
