In addition to demographic and clinical characteristics, the number of hospitalized cases and deaths is an important factor for evidence-based decision-making and disease control and preparing the healthcare system to face the future challenges of COVID-19. Therefore, this cohort study was conducted to determine the demographics, clinical characteristics, and outcomes of hospitalized COVID-19 patients in Kermanshah Province, west of Iran.

- The study investigated how long SARS-CoV-2 RNA lingers in different body fluids of COVID-19 patients, raising concerns about potential viral transmission.
- The research involved 100 confirmed COVID-19 cases where samples were collected during and after hospitalization, with findings showing the median persistence of viral RNA in nasopharyngeal samples was 8 days.
- Overall, the results suggest that patients could be discharged without infectious viral genetic material, implying the recommended quarantine may be adequate in minimizing the risk of transmission.
Background: Due to the physiological changes in the body during pregnancy, the increased susceptibility to viral infections during this period and also the high prevalence of coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) in the Guilan province, Iran, this study aimed to evaluate risk factors, clinical symptoms, laboratory findings and imaging of pregnant mothers with COVID-19.
Methods: In this descriptive study, 70 pregnant women aged 17-41 years with COVID-19 who were hospitalized from early March to late April 2020 were enrolled. Sampling was performed by census and from all hospitals in Guilan.
