Studies

GEMINI

The first study describing adult hospitalizations for COVID-19 in Canada. Collected electronic data from 7 hospitals: 1,027 adults with COVID-19 and 783 adults with influenza. This represented nearly 25% of all hospitalizations for COVID-19 in Ontario in the first wave.
Median age: 65, 20 per cent less than, 50, 32 per cent over 75. 59 per cent male. 12 per cent live in long-term care. 35 per cent have hypertension. 28 per cent have diabetes. 51 per cent live in lower income neighborhoods.
COVID-19 is severe in patients who are hospitalized. 9 days median hospital stay. 20 per cent died in hospital. 26 per cent received intensive care. 19 per cent needed a ventilator. 9 per cent re-hospitalized within 30 days.
COVID019 is much more severe than influenza. 3.5 times greater mortality. 1.5 times greater ICU. 1.5 times longer hospital stay.
COVID-19 is more severe in older adults, but still very serious in younger adults.
Simple risk scores can predict in-hospital mortality in COVID-19. Age plus gender plus comorbidities plus presenting vital signs and lab tests.
