Study Details

Study Description

Brief Summary

COVID-19 pandemic has deeply burdened hospitals all over the world. A two-stage disease has been hypothesized due to quick worsening of clinical status after 7-10 days from the beginning of first symptoms, generally flu-like symptoms. Predicting clinical worsening could help to address major efforts towards higher risk patients.

During the last year most observational studies, generally retrospective, has been conducted, identifying some risk factors such as age, obesity, male gender, cardiovascular disease, COPD, diabetes etc.

The study goal is to collect systematically a variegate amount of clinical, biometric, laboratory and radiological data from patients admitted to the Emergency Medicine Ward of Piacenza Hospital (Italy), in order to prospectively analyze what characteristics are associated to higher risk of mortality.
