The study is an epidemiological observational study. It serves to collect data from patients with positive COVID-19 test results who are hospitalized. All data describing the course of the inpatient stay are recorded (Length of stay, course of therapy, medication, X-ray and CT results,ventilation mode and duration, laboratory). Furthermore, anthropometric data and information on COVID-19 symptoms is recorded.
The aim of this study is to describe the course of disease and the treatment of patients
suffering from COVID-19 who are hospitalized and treated as inpatients:
1. Are there common features (previous illnesses, medication, age, BMI, etc.), which may
influence the course of disease?
2. Are there therapeutic procedures that have a positive or negative impact on the course
of the disease or the length of stay in the intensive care unit/ the duration of
ventilation (early/late intubation, CPAP, NIV, ECMO)?
