Objective: Due to the spread of Coronavirus Disease 2019 (COVID-19) worldwide and the resulting mortality as well as the lack of definitive treatment for this disease, various non-invasive and invasive drugs and treatments have been used around the world for reducing the effects of this disease or accelerating the treatment process, but the positive and definite effect of none of these methods has been confirmed and they have been effective only in some cases. This study aims to investigate some clinical features and supportive therapies in deceased COVID-19 patients in Iran.
Methods: This descriptive-analytical retrospective study was conducted on 100 Covid-19 patients died in Hajar Hospital in Tehran, Iran from February to September 2020. They were divided into two groups of with and without underlying diseases. After coordination and obtaining the necessary permission and informed consent, information was collected from the medical files of samples.
Results: Mechanical ventilation, vasoconstrictor injection and blood products had been used as supportive therapies in deceased patients, where ventilation use (n=62, 62%) was significantly higher (P=0.01) compared to vasoconstrictor injection (n=28, 28%) and blood products (n=13, 13%). Most of deceased patients had an underlying diseases (79%). Hypertension, diabetes and heart problems were the most common underlying diseases. The disease severity, clinical manifestations, and mortality rate of deceased patients with cardiovascular diseases, diabetes and hypertension were significantly different compared to those with other underlying diseases (P= 0.01). The age and gender of deceased patients had no significant relationship with the use of any supportive therapies (P≥0.01), but had a significant relationship with the underlying diseases (P≤0.01).
Conclusion: The treatment methods that are the definite needs of the patient and have more favorable effects on the recovery process have a high value in the treatment of COVID-19 patients. These patients need to use supportive therapies for purposeful and effective treatment. Mechanical ventilation is more important than injecting vasoconstrictors or using blood products.
