- A study analyzed factors like age, sex, COVID-19 vaccination status, and medical conditions affecting the likelihood of hospitalization or death in nearly 20,000 patients in Gran Canaria diagnosed with COVID-19.
- Key findings showed that older age, male sex, specific comorbidities like cancer and diabetes, and incomplete vaccination significantly increased the risk of severe outcomes, while complete vaccination and booster doses greatly reduced this risk.
- The research concluded that comprehensive vaccination strategies are vital in mitigating the impact of COVID-19 and reducing hospital admissions and mortality rates.
Background: This study evaluated the adverse events of COVID-19 isolation or quarantine in patients with nosocomial SARS-CoV-2 infection admitted to the Hospital Universitario Insular de Gran Canaria.
Methods: This is a retrospective cohort study with 30-day follow-up of 126 patients diagnosed with nosocomial COVID-19 through polymerase chain reaction test, between May 1 and June 30, 2022, in a 500-bed university hospital in the island of Gran Canaria.
Results: Between May 1 and July 30, 2022, a total of 2250 patients were admitted to the Hospital Universitario Insular de Gran Canaria; 126 of them were diagnosed with nosocomial COVID-19 through a polymerase chain reaction test.
Introduction: This study analyzed the impact of patients' age, sex, vaccination, immunosuppressive treatment, and previous comorbidities on the risk of developing persistent COVID-19 or SARS-CoV-2 virus reinfection.
Method: Population-based observational retrospective study of a cohort of 110,726 patients aged 12 years or older, who were diagnosed with COVID-19 between June 1st, 2021 and February 28th, 2022 in the island of Gran Canaria.
Results: 340 patients suffered reinfection.
Objective: To analyze the frequency of influenza and SARS-CoV-2 co-infections, as well as the differences in the course of disease (risk of mortality, hospital and intensive care admissions) in patients infected with the SARS-CoV-2 virus in relation to flu vaccination status in the 2021-2022 season.
Methods: Population-based observational retrospective study in a cohort of 19,850 patients diagnosed with COVID-19 between June 1, 2021 and February 28, 2022 on the island of Gran Canaria.
