Abstract Background A number of reports have documented the clinical characteristics of patients with severe coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) in Wuhan. Clinical features of severe-critically ill COVID-19 patients in Jiangsu, outside Wuhan, remains unknown. Methods This multi-centered retrospective study collected the information of 631 laboratory-confirmed COVID-19 patients hospitalized at 28 authorized hospitals in Jiangsu province between January 23, 2019 and March 13, 2020. Epidemiological and demographic information, clinical and radiological characteristics, laboratory results and treatment of these patients were analyzed. Results A total of 583 adult patients with laboratory-confirmed COVID-19 were enrolled for final analysis, including 84 severe-critically ill patients and 499 mild-moderate patients. Median age of the severe-critically ill patients was 57.0 years [interquartile range (IQR), 49.0-65.8], and 50 (59.5%) were males. Multisystemic laboratory abnormalities were observed on admission in severe-critically ill patients. The severe-critically ill patients showed more noticeable radiologic abnormalities and more coexisting health issues as compared to mild-moderate patients. Most of the severe-critically ill COVID-19 patients become deteriorated in two weeks after diagnosis. Age [odds ratio (OR) 1.08, 95% confidence interval (CI) (1.03-1.14)], D-dimer (OR 3.21, 95% CI 1.39-7.40), and lymphocytes (OR 0.28, 95% CI 0.04-0.88) were independently associated with the progression of severe-critically illness. Conclusions Older age, higher D-dimer levels and less lymphocyte counts on admission are potential risk factors for COVID-19 patients to develop into severe and critically illness. The results would help clinicians to identify high-risk patients in advance.

Abstract Background The incidence of pertussis shows an increasing trend in recent years, but some clinicians often lack sufficient understanding of the clinical characteristics and risk factors for severe pertussis, and more effective measures should be taken to reduce the incidence and mortality of pertussis in young infants Methods A retrospective study was conducted, and 184 infants and children with pertussis who had been hospitalized in the Department of Pediatrics of Beijing Ditan Hospital affiliated with Capital Medical University from January 2016 to December 2017 were included. Clinical data of the patients were collected and the clinical characteristics were statistically analyzed Results Among the 184 patients, 41.85% were infants < 3 months of age, and 65.22% of the total patients were not vaccinated against pertussis. There were 22 critically ill children, among whom 4 died, and compared with mild cases, they had a higher proportion of children younger than 3 months of age and infants not vaccinated against pertussis (63.64% vs. 38.89% and 100% vs. 60.49%, respectively); a higher proportion of children with severe pneumonia (100% vs. 0%); higher leukocyte count(× 109/L , 35.80 ± 20.53 vs 19.41 ± 8.59); and a higher proportion of children with severe hyperleukocytosis (18.18% vs. 0%, respectively) (P<0.05) Conclusions 1. Infants aged <3 months not vaccinated for pertussis appear more likely to become infected and have more severe disease. 2. Severe pneumonia and hyperleukocytosis are the main mechanisms underlying severe pertussis.
