Study links worsening of Covid-19 with shorter time span from symptom onset to hospitalisation

Hindustan Times  

A shorter time from symptom onset to hospitalisation is associated with a more serious disease and death in patients with COVID-19, suggest the findings of new research. Worsening of Covid-19 linked with shorter time from symptom onset to hospitalisation The new research was presented at this week’s ESCMID Conference on Coronavirus Disease. Patients with COVID-19 assessed in this study presented to the Huntington Memorial Hospital, Pasadena, CA, USA, for care after varying duration of symptom onset. This quicker-presenting group also ultimately were more likely to develop acute respiratory distress syndrome and have higher mortality than those presenting at a hospital more than one week after symptom onset.
