数周以来,世界上充斥着关于COVID-19大流行.虽然病例继续上升,研究人员对新型冠状病毒(SARS-CoV-2),大多数数据缺乏确保人们认真对待这种疾病所需的特定特性。但周二,美国疾病控制和预防中心(CDC)能够更近距离地观察谁是受covid -19影响最大的人,其研究结果强调了预防的重要性预防措施我们一直都在。

一项新研究发表在疾病预防控制中心发病率和死亡率周报研究人员发现,大多数因COVID-19住院的人都有先前存在的条件大约90%的患者有一种或多种潜在疾病。根据CDC的数据,最常见的疾病包括高血压(49.7%)、肥胖(48.3%)、慢性肺病(34.6%)、糖尿病(28.3%)和心血管疾病(27.8%)。

这项研究收集的数据来自covid -19相关住院监测网络(COVID-NET),旨在对美国所有确诊的covid -19相关住院患者进行基于人群的监测。美国疾病控制与预防中心的新研究使用了3月1日至3月30日期间收治的1482名COVID-19患者的人口统计数据,这些患者来自14个不同的州:加利福尼亚州、科罗拉多州、康涅狄格州、乔治亚州、爱荷华州、马里兰州、密歇根州、明尼苏达州、新墨西哥州、纽约州、俄亥俄州、俄勒冈州、田纳西州和犹他州。作为参考,在所有1482名患者中,有178人(12%)有潜在疾病信息。

年龄也在COVID-19患者的住院率中发挥了作用——研究发现,因冠状病毒住院的患者中有74.5%年龄在50岁或以上,65岁以上的患者比例最高。男性也受到了不成比例的影响(54.4%因COVID-19住院的患者是男性),非洲裔美国人也是如此,他们占住院人数的33%,尽管只占研究总人口的18%。

该研究指出,住院治疗的COVID-19患者的大多数潜在症状与住院治疗的流感患者相似,尽管据报道,COVID-19患者的住院率更高。(根据2014-2015年至2018-2019年流感季节的数据,29-31%的住院患者患有慢性肺病,而COVID-19患者患有肺病的比例为34.6%。)

但这并不是关于COVID-19住院患者基础疾病患病率的第一组数据。在之前的发病率和死亡率周报据美国疾控中心4月3日公布的数据显示,457例ICU住院患者和1037例非ICU住院患者中,有一种或多种潜在健康状况的患者分别占78%和71%。另一项中国研究发表在新英格兰医学杂志研究发现,在1099名住院患者中,重症患者(38.7%)与非重症患者(21%)中共存疾病更常见。

虽然这项研究还处于初级阶段,只占美国总人口的10%左右,但研究人员认为,这些发现“强调了预防措施的重要性”,比如保持社交距离、经常洗手,现在在公共场所戴口罩,继续保护老年人和有潜在疾病的人免受COVID-19的影响。

美国疾病控制与预防中心还表示,那些有潜在健康问题的人也有covid -19的症状,包括咳嗽、发烧或呼吸急促(气促),应该立即联系他们的医疗保健提供者。

截至发稿时,这篇报道中的信息是准确的。然而,随着围绕COVID-19的形势继续发展,一些数据可能自发布以来发生了变化。在《健康》杂志努力使我们的故事尽可能最新的同时,我们也鼓励读者通过使用疾病预防控制中心以及当地的公共卫生部门作为资源。
