The selected hospitals were affiliated with the Iranian Social Security Organization. Clinical follow-up was continued until April 26, 2020. During this period, 260 records were assessed. The collected data included demographic characteristics, clinical symptoms, as well as the paraclinical findings and radiological features of the patients. The obtained data were analyzed by SPSS.  Results: Among 260 confirmed cases of COVID-19, 161 (61.9%) cases were men and 99 (38.1%) were women. The Mean±SD age of the explored patients was 58.78±16.44 years. Besides, 221 (85%) patients were hospitalized in the general ward and 39 (15%) cases in the Intensive Care Unit (ICU). Hypertension and diabetes were the most prevalent medical histories (comorbidities). Fever, fatigue, cough, anorexia, myalgia, dyspnea, oliguria, taste impairment, and smell deficiency were the most frequent clinical symptoms. Neutrophilia, lymphopenia, low blood glucose level, and increased BUN, ALP, CRP, and ESR were among the critical laboratory findings. Almost 30% of the studied patients presented acidosis in arterial blood gases analysis and 55% had normal blood gasses. Decreased PaO2 was observed in 80% of the investigated patients. Most of the patients had received oxygen therapy, lopinavir, and hydroxychloroquine. Additionally, 11.2% of the patients were under invasive mechanical ventilators. Concerning the lung CT scan, 42.7% of the patients had ≥5 involved lobes. In terms of density, 51.9% of the subjects had mixed opacity. Most lung damages (41.5%) were in the central part of the lungs. In 55.8% of cases, these damages were patchy lesions, and 40% had an air-bronchogram. According to the Chi-squared test data, there was a significant relationship between the location of the lesions and the patient’s need for suction (P Date A point or period of time associated with an event in the lifecycle of the resource 2020 Subject The topic of the resource covid-19, Symptoms, Signs, Diagnostic Imaging, medical history, clinical chemistry test Source A related resource from which the described resource is derived Journal of Client-centered Nursing Care Publisher An entity responsible for making the resource available Iran University of Medical Sciences Coverage The spatial or temporal topic of the resource, the spatial applicability of the resource, or the jurisdiction under which the resource is relevant Nursing
