Association Between Hypoxemia and Mortality in Patients With COVID-19.

ABSTRACT:

Objective

To identify markers associated with in-hospital death in patients with coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19)-associated pneumonia.

Patients and methods

A retrospective cohort study was conducted of 140 patients with moderate to critical COVID-19-associated pneumonia requiring oxygen supplementation admitted to the hospital from January 28, 2020, through February 28, 2020, and followed up through March 13, 2020, in Union Hospital, Wuhan, China. Oxygen saturation (SpO₂) and other measures were tested as predictors of in-hospital mortality in survival analysis.

Results

Of 140 patients with COVID-19-associated pneumonia, 72 (51.4%) were men, with a median age of 60 years. Patients with SpO₂ values of 90% or less were older and were more likel
