Abstract

Background: In 2019, a novel coronavirus appeared, quickly circling the world from its Chinese source. The illness brought on by this virus is known as coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19), and the virus was given the designation SARS-CoV-2 by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. On March 11, 2020, the World Health Organization proclaimed COVID-19 to be a pandemic. During 2020, the virus spread to Afghanistan and infected thousands of individuals. This study's aim is to describe the incidence of COVID-19 in the Nangarhar Corona Center Hospital in Afghanistan between June 2020 and August 2021. Thus, quick administration of the necessary therapy can stop future complications. Additionally, the management of upcoming pandemic virus illnesses will benefit from this study's findings.
Materials and Methods: A descriptive retrospective investigation using interview approach and an accidental sampling technique was used to collect data for this study from the inpatient medical records of patients who were identified as having SARS-CoV-2 infection following admission to the Corona Center Hospital in Nangarhar province, Afghanistan, between June 2020 and August 2021. Additionally, information on the laboratory tests was taken from the hospital file. In addition, 140 patients were questioned about their ischemic heart disease, diabetes, hypertension, and other COVID-19 risk factors. Additionally, 100 patients were given a questionnaire about the socioeconomic effects of COVID-19 on their daily lives and behavior.
Findings: In this study, patients who met the inclusion criteria provided 11000 samples. 3380 female patients and 7620 male patients in all have been reported. There were 9267 negative cases and 1733 positive cases out of them. 1133 (10.1%) of the positive instances were found in male patients, whereas 600 (5.5%) were found in female patients. The 140 patients who were examined for COVID-19 risk factors identified four, including hypertension, diabetes, chronic liver disorders, and ischemic heart disease. Additionally, 75% of participants believed that COVID-19 would be controlled in Afghanistan, compared to 70% who believed that COVID-19 would be managed globally.
Conclusion: The findings of this study indicated that the majority of COVID-19 patients were of productive age. Additionally, our study found that there was a negative overall influence of COVID-19 on Afghan population social life. Immediate action is required on the part of the general public in the shape of focused mass psychological support initiatives in order to improve the mental health of those impacted by the COVID-19 problems.
