Abstract

COVID-19 is a global public health threat. The number of confirmed cases is multiplying day by day. This study aims to determine the sociodemographic, clinical, and paraclinical characteristics related to the new coronavirus (COVID-19) of patients hospitalized in Touba ETCs. Methodology: A cross-sectional, descriptive, and analytical study was conducted from May 28, 2020, to July 31, 2021. All COVID-19 patients hospitalized in the ETCs of Touba commune have recovered. Data were collected through a questionnaire with socio-demographic, clinical, and evolving characteristics. The analysis of the data was carried out through the R. Results: A total of 121 individuals were surveyed and 66.48% of them were male. The average age of our patients was 56.38 ±18.6 with extremes ranging from 02 to 87 years. In our study, 96.17% of patients resided in Touba; of 3.83%were travelers. We could notice all the usual signs of covid19 fever 96.7%, cough 91.1%, and headaches 82.7%... Factors associated with death were the occurrence, of respiratory distress 13.1 [2.09-25.5] times the higher risk and the poor saturation (SaO2<90%), 6.89 [1.97-33.4] times more risk. Conclusion: COVID-19 is a public health issue. However, early management of the disease may reduce the risk of death.
