Abstract:
COVID19 pandemic out of all odds has created an opportunity to offer treatment in an integrative
manner. This study measures the Length of stay (LS) of patients in an integrative way, as done earlier in China and Vietnam. Length of stay, Clinical presentations, and Comorbidities were analyzed among COVID19 patients in ESI Hospital, Coimbatore, Tamil Nadu, India. Method: Retrospective cross-sectional data on 251 Positive COVID19 patients of both sexes irrespective of age admitted
from 27 March 2020 and 26 April 2020 cases were included in the study. The final discharge date is taken as 5th May 2020. Kaplan Meier survival analysis was adopted. Results: Male, female ratio were 141(56.2%): 83(33.1%), 12 (4.8%) Male Child and 15 (6.0%) were Female child. 5.2%
of the patients were in the age group greater than 60, 75.3% were in the age group 20-60, and the remaining 19.5% were 0- 20 age group. 84.9% of patients were Asymptomatic, while fever and cough were the main symptoms recorded in the
remaining cases. CT scan was done for 7 patients. No mortality and no serious adverse events were reported. Comorbidity is 15% and does not influence hospital length of stay. The overall median length of stay is 12 days for those who were under
ZVcKK (Median ST CI- 11.59-12.41). Conclusion: This study recorded a median of 12 days in the Length of stay and 13.5 days in the Length of stay average.
Comparing earlier studies, patients taking ZVcKK have savings of 7 days. i.e., the relief speed is higher while using ZVcKK.
