Abstract:
Objective:To explore the epidemiological characteristics and clinical outcomes of patients diagnosed with novel coronavirus (COVID-19) pneumonia (NCP), and to provide clinical reference for subsequent epidemic prevention and control.Methods:The pathogenesis, clinical characteristics and clinical outcomes of 62 patients with imported novel coronavirus COVID-19 pneumonia in Qingdao area from January 21, 2020 to April 6, 2020 were analyzed.Results:There were 24 males and 38 females, aged from 5 to 91 (52.5±15.7)years. Among them, 31 cases (31/62, 50%) were family cluster disease, 11 cases (17.74%) were nosocomial cross infection, 14 cases (22.58%) came back from Wuhan to Qingdao and community contact infection, and 6 cases (9.68%) were imported from abroad. The longest time from fever to diagnosis was 26 days. Clinical classification: 40 cases were mild, 13 were general, 7 were severe, 2 were critically ill. 61 cases were discharged from hospital, and 1 was dead. The clinical cure rate was 98.39%. The average stay was (18.5±4.8)days. All patients were treated combined with Chinese medicine on the basis of symptomatic treatment.Conclusions:The clinical symptoms of imported NCP are relatively mild, and mild cases were more, the recovery rate was higher. The intervention strategy of traditional Chinese medicine is conducive to rehabilitation. The external input cases and symptomless infected patients are important for epidemic situation in the future.
