Abstract:
Objectives:Coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) is now a pandemic disease. Nonetheless, there is no comprehensive analysis regarding this disease in the world. Therefore, the present study aims to investigate the risk factors of this disease for better prevention and control. Materials and methods: This case-control study was performed on 1 407 patients diagnosed with COVID-19 and 2 898 people in the control group to evaluate the risk factors of the disease. All data were statistically analyzed by logistic regression. Results:The results of logistic regression revealed that COVID-19 had correlations with a history of cardiac disease (P=0, OR=5.7), blood hypertension (P=0, OR=7.1), diabetes (P=0, OR=7.4), health and treatment occupation (P=0, OR=89), and contact with COVID-19 patients (P=0, OR=435). Conclusion:The findings of the current study demonstrated that COVID-19 is correlated with a history of cardiac disease, diabetes, blood hypertension, health occupation, and contact with a COVID-19 patient.
