BackgroundCOVID-19 pandemic also known as Corona virus pandemic, is caused by severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV 2). In India, the first case of COVID-19 was reported on 30 January 2020 while in Madhya Pradesh on 20 March 2020 and in Rewa on 27 April 2020. Nearly 95 % of people recovered from COVID-19, and nearly three to five percent of cases needed Intensive Care Unit care and most of them needed mechanical ventilation. Materials and MethodsThis was a hospital based cross-sectional study, done among 75 clinical or RT-PCR confirmed cases of COVID-19 infection admitted to the ICU of tertiary care unit. ResultsIn the present study, 63% were male and maximum (35%) belonged to 41-60 years of age. The most common symptom was fever at the time of admission to the hospital. Co-morbidity was reported in 21(28%) of patients. Out of these, majority of patients recorded combination of hypertension and diabetes as the most common comorbidity. ConclusionDelayed medical intervention, advanced age, and the presence of underlying health conditions, such as cardiovascular disease, diabetes, etc., are known risk factors for severe illness and can contribute to worse outcomes and increased mortality in COVID-19 patients.
