Having sufficient data is the first step to understand the behavior of contagious diseases such as the COVID-19 pandemic. Although various studies have assessed COVID-19 features, there are many limitations about patients’ characteristics, complications, and outcomes in different countries including Iran. The present study reported launching an electronic database for COVID-19 patients in Fars province, Iran. Method: A comprehensive web-based multicenter registry was designed and launched by Shiraz University of Medical Sciences in order to collect all information about COVID-19 hospitalized patients in Fars province, Iran. Results: In this registry, patients’ demographic characteristics, chest computed tomography scan findings, laboratory tests, complications during hospitalization, treatments, and disease course in Intensive Care units are recorded on a web-based electronic database. The virtual statues of the patient’s family are evaluated by telephone calls, and the proceeding will be implemented for quarantine and hospitalization if required. Conclusion: The registry is hoped to help all scientists to understand the current challenges and be prepared for possible future waves of the epidemic. Finally, this registry is a resource for all researchers who are interested in coronavirus and plays an important role in supporting the scientific community on the frontlines of combating the virus.Ali AkbariMohsen MoghadamiYounes GhasemiMehrdad SharifiAbdolrasoul HemmatiAbdolkhalegh KeshavarziFatemeh JavanmardiAmir EmamiZabol University of Medical sciencesarticlecovid-19 severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 registry iran Medicine (General)R5-920ENInternational Journal of Basic Science in Medicine, Vol 5, Iss 2, Pp 33-38 (2020) |
