Clinical Characteristics of Critically Ill Patients With 2019 Novel Coronavirus (COVID-19): Do We Need a New Triage System?
Brief 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.
