Objective To analyze the clinical information of COVID-19 patients of Shanghai National Exhibition and Convention Center cabin hospital, and to explore the medical management strategy to provide thoughtful suggestions for other cabin hospitals and governments as valuable references. Methods The clinical data of 174 308 patients confirmed COVID-19 in Shanghai National Exhibition and Convention Center cabin hospital from April 9 to May 31, 2022 were retrospectively reviewed. There were 103 539 male and 70 769 female patients, with an average age of 41.50±15.30 years. Medical and nursing management strategy was summarized. Results Among the 174 308 patients, 71.5% (124 630 patients) were asymptomatic. The vaccination rate of patients with COVID-19 in the cabin hospital was 76.5% (133 338 patients), and the majority of none vaccinated patients were children under the age of 10 years and the elderly over the age of 60 years, the vaccination rate of whom was only 25.0% (1 322 patients) and 63.9% (13 715 patients), respectively. In addition, the proportion of mild symptom type in the patients not vaccinated was significantly higher than that in the vaccinated patients (P≤0.01). The average hospitalization time of patients in cabin hospital was 7.39±0.53 days, which was 7.01±2.12 days for patients under 60 years and 8.21±0.82 days for patients over 60 years. The hospitalization time of elderly patients was significantly longer (P≤0.01), and the hospitalization time of elderly patients at age over 60 years without vaccination was 8.94±1.71 days, which was significantly longer than the average hospitalization time and the time of elderly patients vaccinated (P≤0.01). The number of patients combined with basic diseases was 27 864 (16.0%), of which cardiovascular diseases accounted for 81.3% (22 653 patients). A total of 2 085 patients were transferred and treated in designated hospitals. Conclusion Large scale cabin hospitals are helpful to cut off the source of infection. Attention shall be paid to the sorting of admission and timely transfer to other hospital during the patients management. Most of the patients have a good prognosis after treatment. The vaccination of key population and community-based screening will be the next step of focus.
