Abstract
Background The Covid 19 pandemic, has been reverberating across the globe with varying severity & disease presentations. The epidemiological factors associated with the disease included the age & the associated comorbidities like Hypertension, Diabetes Mellitus & Chronic heart & Lung diseases amongst others. Objectives To study the presence of Comorbidities in Covid 19 patients. Methods A retrospective observational study from the laboratory and medical records was conducted on consecutive 100 recovered & Expired patients admitted to a tertiary care centre. Results & Conclusions; The average age of the Recovered & Expired patients was 43.68 years & 58.71 years with a male female ratio of 58:42 & 74::26 respectively. An increase in the age with an increasing no of comorbidities was seen in both the groups. A significant male preponderance was seen showing an increase with increasing number of the associated comorbidities. Amongst other comorbidities, more than 50% of the expired patients were hypertensive compared to only 20% of the recovered patients. 38% of the expired patients were admitted with a history of Diabetes Mellitus compared to 23% of the expired patients. 70% of all patients having Hypertension & 63% of all having DM as the only comorbidity expired from the disease. 86% of all patients with a cardiac disease & 100% of all patients in the study having an associated kidney disease or immunocompromised expired from the disease. Hence a significant association was found between associated comorbidities & mortality in the patients.
