Baseline clinical characteristics
213 patients diagnosed with COVID-19 were included in the final
analysis,including 150 non-critical patients and 63 critical patients.
Of 213 patients,110 (51.6%) were male. The median (IQR) age was
63.0(56.0-73.0). The median age of critical group was significantly
higher than that of non-critical group (77.0 vs 63.0 years,
respectively; p <0.001). There was significant difference in sex
between two groups (p <0.01) and most of critical patients were
male. Hypertension (52.6%),cardiac disease (21.6%),diabetes (19.2%)
were the three most common comorbidities. The presence of cardiac
disease, cerebrovascular disease and chronic kidney disease in critical
group was all higher than that in non-critical group (p <0.05).
The incidence of cardiovascular complications including acute myocardial
injury, arrhythmia and acute myocardial infarction was higher in
critical group than non-critical group. 5 of 63 critical patients
developed acute myocardial infarction. (Table 1)
