Proposal
In December 2019, Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome Coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) emerged as a novel coronavirus that resulted as the causative agent for the viral illness known as coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19). The first known cases of COVID-19 in Windsor-Essex County were identified in March 2020; since then, there have been over 49,000 cases of COVID-19. Forty unique patient factors will be assessed to explain the characteristics correlated with local patient outcomes of COVID-19. The purpose of this study is to identify the characteristics of the patients with COVID-19 presenting or admitted to the Windsor Regional Hospital between February 15, 2020 and February 14, 2021. The specific aims of this study will be to conduct a retrospective chart review to evaluate over 40 patient factors associated with poor prognosis or greater risk of mortality that include COVID-19 symptomatology, treatment history, and comorbidities as well as any additional patients to be admitted to Windsor Regional Hospital during the one-year period. We will also look at the outcome of cancer patients who were treated for Covid infection during this period. The results of this study will serve as an evidence-based source to inform clinicians at Windsor Regional Hospital to predict the likely prognosis of the disease in patients based on their characteristics. The next steps of this study will incorporate AI machine learning to analyze the data for prognostic trends that may aid clinicians at Windsor Regional Hospital in predicting the outcomes for not only COVID-19 but the implications of Post COVID Condition (PCC).
