Objectives: to estimate the epidemiological characteristics, comorbidity and risk factors
among patients with Covid-19 symptoms, who were admitted and hospitalized in the
isolation center 1 of Covid 19 in Al-khomis city, Libya.
Methods: A retrospective study on 143 patients whom hospitalized in the isolation center of
Covid-19 in Al-Khomis city – Libya from the period of July 10, 2020 to November 26,
2020.
Results: The medical data of 143 patients of Covid-19 were subjected to the statistical
analysis. The cases of males were more than females by 10%, and mortality rate among all
patients was 26.6%. The study showed that the median age of patients was 63 years, while
the average age of death was 70 years. The major complains of Covid-19 patients were
fever, fatigue, dyspnea, and cough. The results showed that there was a significant
difference between Oxygen saturation or SpO2 levels (average 66.7%) of death group
compared with Covid-19 survivors (average 82.28%). The comorbidity among the patients
included diabetes 49%, hypertension 30.1%, and respiratory diseases only 2.8%. The
statistical analysis of the results revealed no significant difference among all of these
diseases and the cause of death among the studied cases.
Conclusion: The males are more than females in the infection rate of Covid-19. Patients
aged 63 years or older should be considered as risk, and therefor medical follow up is
required. Patients who had SpO2 levels less than 95% should have an urgent medical
intervention to control the hypoxia and prevent other severe consequences.
