The aim of the study was to evaluate the predictors of mortality in patients with COVID-19 pneumonia. The primary objective is to investigate the relationship between demographic, clinical and laboratory parameters on COVID -19 pneumonia related mortality and morbidity. A retrospective study was conducted among the in-patients admitted to SH medical centre hospital, a tertiary care hospital in Kerala, India for a period of 6 months in General Medicine & MICU. Case records of survivors and non-survivors were retrospectively reviewed for demographic data, clinical presentations, investigations, management, and outcome and these groups were compared to assess the risk factor of mortality. Out of 129 patients analysed, a significant association between age and risk for mortality was found. Majority of the patients among non survivors (53.12%) belongs to an age group of >75 years and 61-75 age group among survivors (32.30%). From the clinical manifestations, dyspnoea (p value 0.003) and fever (p value 0.024) were found to be significant predictors of mortality. From the laboratory parameters, SpO2, respiratory rate, Hb, WBC, platelet count, creatinine, serum ferritin and D-dimer were found to have a strong correlation with mortality. All the non survivors (100%) were observed with comorbidities when compared to survivors (81.54%). From this study we found that age> 75 years, clinical manifestations such as dyspnoea and fever, laboratory parameters such as elevated levels of D-dimer, serum ferritin, creatinine, WBC count and decreased levels of platelet count, Hb, SpO2 and presence of comorbidities to be independent predictors of mortality in COVID-19 PNEUMONIA. Early detection of symptoms and their proper management can reduce the risk for mortality.
