Abstract

Aims Currently, both government and military hospitals in Iran are attempting to minimize the deterioration of COVID-19 patients. This study aimed to investigate the factors that led to the hospital admission of COVID-19 patients in the intensive care unit of selected Iranian Navy military hospitals. Instrument & Methods In this descriptive study, 367 COVID-19 patients were examined in two hospitals in Tehran and Rasht from March to May 2020. The researchers developed a checklist to collect data from variables related to COVID-19 patient ICU admission. Data were analyzed using the Chi-square, t-test, and logistic regression by SPSS 23. Findings This analysis included 121 women (33%) and 246 males (67%). The findings revealed that age, cough, diastolic blood pressure, and blood oxygen percentage of COVID-19 patients were associated with ICU hospitalization and that age and cough were used as predictors of ICU hospitalization. Conclusion The findings suggest that age may affect COVID-19 disease. Cough, hypoxia, and diastolic blood pressure appear to be clinical signs that will affect hospitalization in the intensive care unit and should be evaluated with good effort and frequency in patients with COVID-19.
