Abstract
After the first autochthonous case described on February 19, also in Italy the Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome CoronaVirus 2 (SARSCoV-2) infection rapidly circulated, mainly in the Northern regions of the country. The earliest reports on Coronavirus disease-19 (COVID-19) have described worldwide a high prevalence of severe respiratory illness [1]. A suggestive feature of COVID-19 has been a rapid progression of the respiratory impairment, leading to acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS) and often requiring ventilation support [2]. To date, whether clinical features at hospital presentation and outcome of COVID-19 have changed over the outbreak course is unknown. We explored this issue in a multicenter cohort of patients hospitalized for COVID-19 in Northern Italy.| File | Dimensione | Formato | |
