Background: Increasing the number of COVID-19 patients raises concerns about the capacity of the health care system. This issue emphasizes reducing the admission rate and expediting patient discharge. Objective: This study aimed to develop a discharge protocol for COVID-19 patients based on the existing capacity of the healthcare system and to assess its post-discharge outcomes. Methods: This is a multicenter cohort study. All COVID-19 patients referred to selected medical centers in Qom, Iran, from Feb. 19 to Apr. 19, 2020, were target populations. Eligible patients were classified into a] the criterion group and b] the non-criterion group. Patients were followed up daily for 14 days after discharge by phone, and required data was gathered and recorded in follow-up form. Univariate [chi-square and t-tests] and multivariate multiple [multivariate probit regression] analysis were used. Results: Results: Totally, 2775 patients were included in the study [1440 people in the criterion group and 1335 people in the non-criterion group]. Based on multivariate probit regression, death was statistically associated with discharged outside our criteria [p Conclusion: Conclusion: Mortality and readmission were significantly lower according to our discharge criteria. Our designed criteria apply to less developed and developing countries due to the limited capacity and resources available in the health care system. |
