Summary

Critically ill patients with COVID-19 have hospitalized in an ICU due to the closer monitoring and therapy. In fact, ICU admissions are dependent on the severity of illness and the ICU capacity of the health-care system. Hence, it may be need a new scoring system for contagious critically ill patients.

Detailed description

Critically ill patients with COVID-19 have hospitalized in an ICU due to the closer monitoring and therapy. In fact, ICU admissions are dependent on the severity of illness and the ICU capacity of the health-care system. Therefore, many patients with confirmed COVID-19 with RT-PCR and/or suspected COVID-19 were hospitalized in ICUs with a limited number of beds. This ambiguity can result in both contamination risk to uninfected patients and occupancy rate of the limited ICU beds. Hence, it may be need a new scoring system for contagious critically ill patients. The aim of this study was to describe the epidemiological and clinical features of 75 critically ill patients due to COVID-19 and to compare confirmed COVID-19 cases with suspected COVID-19 cases in our critical care units.
