Résumé
The coronavirus disease (COVID-19) presents across a spectrum of signs and symptoms and shows clinico-epidemiological predilections (elderly, those with comorbidities). Delhi is among the highest burden states in India. To report the case detection trends and clinico-epidemiological profile of patients tested positive at a designated COVID-19 hospital in Delhi in Northern India. Using an observational (descriptive design) we analyzed data from the electronic medical records of the hospital. All individuals testing positive for SARS-CoV-2 RNA using reverse transcription polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR) between 17 Total 308 positive cases were enrolled in this study. The median age of participants was 48 years (09-95 years) men (47.9 ± 16.4 years) and women (43.5 ± 14.0 years). Men to women ratio was 3.4:1 with a statistically significant difference ( Triangulation of data and careful analysis of trends in designated COVID-19 hospitals and other institutional settings may help inform surge preparedness and care provisioning. Stringent containment strategies must continue as the pandemic is intensifying.
