The goal was to assess clinical data in a population from the Mexican state of Guanajuato as a suspected case of COVID-19 with a positive rRT-PCR result reported till October 2, 2020.
Introduction: One of the main concerns since the start of the new coronavirus pandemic in Wuhan, China, at the end of 2019, has been getting a correct diagnosis. Fever is the most common symptom of COVID-19 infection, however it can also be found in other viral infections.
Study Design: This is a cross-sectional study based on data from the General Epidemiological Directorate's National Epidemiological Surveillance System and the Mexican Secretary of Health's National Epidemiological Surveillance System.
Sample registries from confirmed and discarded COVID-19 cases will be kept in the database until October 2, 2020.
Methodology: A total of 100,919 registries were examined. The results of the rRT-PCR test were missing in 810 of them, thus they were eliminated. A confirmed case of COVID-19 is a person who has a positive rRT-PCR test for SARS-CoV-2, regardless of the clinical data presented. A suspected case of COVID-19 is a person who has a positive rRT-PCR test for SARS-CoV-2 and is accompanied by at least one of the following: myalgia, arthralgia, odynophagia, chills, chest pain, rhinorrhea, an Age, sex, and clinical data were all recorded, as well as the SARS-CoV-2 rRT-PCR result. The effect of clinical data on positive rRT-PCR was investigated using logistic regression.
A total of 100,109 registries were examined. SARS-CoV-2 was detected in 41,734 of them. Fever (OR 1.72, CI95 percent 1.68 to 1.77), cough (OR 1.70, CI95 percent 1.66 to 1.74), and odynophagia (OR 1.71, CI95 percent 1.66 to 1.75) were all found to have a larger effect on a positive rRT-PCR test. The result of the rRT-PCR test was unaffected by cyanosis.
COVID-19 has no clinical data that can be used to diagnose it. In confirmed instances, the clinical data is similar to that of other respiratory viral infections.Author(S) Details
