Article Synopsis
- A study in Saudi Arabia aimed to evaluate the survival rates of COVID-19 patients and identify factors that predict mortality.
- Researchers analyzed data from 248 patients admitted to a COVID-19 referral hospital, focusing on various socio-demographic, health, and treatment-related details.
- Findings revealed that complications like heart failure and renal failure significantly impact mortality, with older patients and those with asthma at higher risk, and suggested the importance of monitoring controllable risk factors to improve survival rates.
Introduction The Middle East respiratory syndrome coronavirus (MERS-CoV) infection can cause transmission clusters and high mortality in hemodialysis facilities. We attempted to develop a risk-prediction model to assess the early risk of MERS-CoV infection in dialysis patients. Methods This two-center retrospective cohort study included 104 dialysis patients who were suspected of MERS-CoV infection and diagnosed with rRT-PCR between September 2012 and June 2016 at King Fahd General Hospital in Jeddah and King Abdulaziz Medical City in Riyadh.

Objectives: This study estimates recovery delay intervals and identifies associated factors in a sample of Saudi Arabian patients admitted for suspected MERS-CoV and diagnosed by rRT-PCR assay.
Methods: A multicenter retrospective study was conducted on 829 patients admitted between September 2012 and June 2016 and diagnosed by rRT-PCR procedures to have MERS-CoV and non-MERS-CoV infection in which 396 achieved recovery.
Background: The rapid and accurate identification of individuals who are at high risk of Middle East respiratory syndrome coronavirus (MERS-CoV) infection remains a major challenge for the medical and scientific communities. The aim of this study was to develop and validate a risk prediction model for the screening of suspected cases of MERS-CoV infection in patients who have developed pneumonia.
Methods: A two-center, retrospective case-control study was performed.
