Abstract
Objectives: The objective of this study was to investigate the mortality of fatal cases of SARS-CoV-2 in the first year from the initial COVID-19 casualty in Split, Croatia. Materials and Methods: This was an observational cross-sectional study. Data was collected by reviewing the coroner logbooks of the UHS and the city of Split coroners, as well as the UHS database. The study captured the period from 7 April 2020 until 7 April 2021, a one-year timeframe from the initial COVID-19 case of death in Split. The sample for this study consisted of 2222 subjects, 36 COVID-19 positive patients which died outside of the hospital, 572 COVID-19 positive patients which died while hospitalized, and 1614 COVID-19 negative patients which died in the UHS. Factors collected include age, gender, date of death, and prior hospitalization. Results: An increased number of hospital deaths was found for the period 2020/2021 compared to the mean of the previous four years. The majority of deceased patients with SARS-CoV-2 infection were aged ≥65 years. A crude COVID-19 CFR of 1,62% and a hospital mortality of 21,64% was estimated. Conclusions: Fatal hospitalized cases of COVID-19 had a statistically significant higher mean age compared to non-COVID-19 hospital deaths. The elderly are at an increased risk of death during infection with SARS-CoV-2, and attempts to lower COVID-19 mortality should be focused on such risk patients. Further studies are required for a more accurate estimation of the increased risk of mortality.
Abstract (croatian)
Ciljevi: Cilj ovog rada je istraživanje mortaliteta smrtnih slučajeva SARS-CoV-2 u prvoj godini, od prvog slučaja COVID-19 u Splitu, Hrvatska. Materijali i metode: Ovo je bilo observacijsko presječeno istraživanje. Podaci su prikupljeni pregledom mrtvozorničke knjige KBC Splita i mrtozornika grada Splita te baze podataka KBC Splita. Studija obuhvaća razdoblje od 7. travnja 2020 do 7. travnja 2021, jednogodišnji raspon od prvog smrtnog slučaja u Splitu. U studiju je uključeno 2222 pacijenata, 36 COVID-19 pozitivnih pacijenata koji su umrli izvan bolnice, 572 COVID-19 pozitivnih pacijenata koji su umrli u bolnici, i 1614 COVID-19 negativnih pacijenata koji su umrli u Kliničkom bolničkom centru Split u promatranom razdoblju. Prikupljeni podaci uključuju dob, spol i datum smrti. Rezultati: Utvrđen je povećan broj bolničkih smrti u 2020/2021. godini usporedno sa prosjekom prijašnje četiri godine. Većina umrlih pacijenata sa SARS-CoV-2 infekcijom su imali 65 ili vise godina. Okvirni omjer smrtnih slučajeva (CFR) u Splitsko Dalmatinskoj županiji COVID-19 infekcije je 1m62%, a bolnička smrtnost hospitaliziranih COVID-19 pacijenata procijenjena je 21,64%. Zaključci: Hospitalizirani smrtni slučajevi COVID-19 su imali statistički značajno veći prosjek godina usporedno sa COVID-19 negativnim bolničkim smrtnim slučajevima. Starije osobe imaju povećan rizik smrti tijekom infekcije SARS-CoV-2 i pokušaji da se smanji smrtnost COVID-19 bi se trebali fokusirati na tu rizičnu skupinu pacijenata. Potrebne su daljne studije za točnije procjene povećanog rizika smrtnosti.
