ABSTRACT
We retrospectively investigated 55 cases of coronavirus infectious disease 2019 (COVID-19) hospitalized in our hospital between February 22 and May 21, 2020. Twenty-two patients required oxygen administration, seven patients received invasive mechanical ventilation, and four patients received extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO). There were no deaths; all patients improved and were discharged to their homes or transferred either to hotels for the mildly ill or to a comprehensive community care ward. Older age, history of smoking, hypertension and diabetes mellitus as comorbidities, and high serum C-reactive protein (CRP), ferritin, or lactate dehydrogenase (LDH) levels were associated with severity.
