RESUMO
BACKGROUND: The coronavirus or COVID-19 was originally discovered in the Chinese city of Wuhan in December 2019 which quickly spread to various countries and caused a global pandemic. According to the WHO, this coronavirus is called SARS-CoV-2 or severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2, it attacks the respiratory tract suddenly and can be fatal or cause the sufferer’s mortality in a short time. AIM: This study aims to find predictors of risk factors for the mortality of people infected with COVID-19;thus, it can help medical personnel make decisions quickly whether the patient has a good or bad prognosis. Faster and more precise decision-making can increase the efficiency of the needs of limited resources. METHODOLOGY: This research used a cross-sectional design of data collection of patients who died and returned home with a diagnosis of COVID-19 from medical records data of PKU Muhammadiyah Gamping Yogyakarta Educational Hospital. Logistic regression test was counted with a level of significance (p) < 0.05 using SPSS v.21 software RESULTS: Subjects who died were 63 people or 48.8%, while subjects who were alive were 66 people or 51.2%. Female subjects were 61 people or 47.3%, while male subjects were 68 people or 52.7%. The logistic regression analysis results showed that the variables determining the risk factors for death (p < 0.05) included age, impaired lung function, impaired kidney function, and increased D-dimer. CONCLUSION: Four risk factors for patients with COVID-19 determined whether the patient dies or lives, namely, age, lung disorders, impaired kidney function, and increased d-dimer.
RESUMO
AIM: Since there were pros and cons, and insufficient knowledge among Indonesian regarding the vaccines, this research aims to investigate the knowledge regarding COVID-19 vaccination among employees who work in an Islamic University in Yogyakarta, Indonesia. METHODS: A descriptive cross-sectional design was used to investigate the people’s knowledge of COVID-19 vaccination. The survey was conducted before the first vaccination of COVID-19 in March 2021. A descriptive analysis method was performed. Seven hundred sixty-two respondents completed the questionnaire. RESULTS: Respondent’s average age was 34.61 years old (standard deviation = 11.821, range 20–64), 54.1% of female and 45.9% of male. 448 (58.8%) respondents did not have any comorbid history. Respondents mostly obtained vaccination information through social media (86.25%). Most respondents had sufficient knowledge about the COVID-19 vaccine (83.2%), particularly those aged 20–29. For side effects, 585 (76.8%) respondents answered that they experienced pain in the injection area after getting the COVID-19 vaccination. This study showed that the respondents aged 20–29 years old had sufficient knowledge regarding COVID-19 vaccination. CONCLUSION: As knowledge plays an essential role in accepting vaccinations, health-care workers’ efforts to promote COVID-19 vaccination should be directed toward the middle-aged and elderly population to support the government’s plan to increase the rate of COVID-19 vaccinations in Indonesia.
