FEATURES OF THE LESION OF THE GASTROINTESTINAL TRACT IN PATIENTS WITH THE NEW CORONAVIRUS INFECTION COVID-19

Abstract

The aim of this study is to improve the quality of care for patients with new coronavirus infection (CV-19). The main objective of the study is to study the characteristics of lesions of the gastrointestinal tract (g.t.) in CV-19.Materials and methods: 237 patients with CV-19 and gastrointestinal involvement were examined. Average age was 67.6±15.0,Me = 70.5; Q25-75 = 60.0-80.0, men - 61.1%, women - 38.9%. Mortality was 46.3% and depended on the age of the patients (age r=0.3; p = 0.003). Mathematical processing of the results was performed using the STATA12. 1 package of applied statistical programs. Statistical concepts were used: «mean value», «standard deviation», medians (Me) corresponding to the 10th and 90th percentiles (P10-P90), Pearson's χ2 criterion, t-criterion for unrelated groups. Statistical significance criterion the probability of a random error is less than 5% (P<0.05).Results. In patients with CV-19, in 70.0% of cases, the distal section from the dome of the cecum to the rectum is affected. Themain clinical manifestations of gastrointestinal lesions are bleeding - 87.5%, while no gross abnormalities in the coagulogram were revealed. The average age of patients with lesions of the upper sections (u.s.) 68.1±15.4 Me = 71.5; Q25-75 = 61.5 - 81.0, lower sections (l.s): 66.6±14.5, Me = 68.0; Q25-75 = 69.5-79.0. In terms of gender, men predominate in the void-72.2%, in the women -61.1%. Mortality in case of u.s. lesion. - 56.9%, l.s. - 25.0%.Conclusions. Questions about the damage to the digestive system in CV-19 remain poorly understood and require further research.
