Abstract in brief

  • This systematic review and meta-analysis examined 212 studies from 11 countries involving over 280,000 COVID-19 patients to identify common clinical features, risk factors, and outcomes, highlighting that approximately 23% develop severe illness and around 6% die from the disease.
  • The study found that older age, male gender, diabetes, hypertension, immunosuppression, and malignancies are strongly linked to increased severity and mortality, with underlying health conditions significantly impacting patient outcomes.
  • Common symptoms associated with severe COVID-19 include gastrointestinal issues such as nausea and abdominal pain, as well as respiratory symptoms like shortness of breath; pneumonia and organ failure are key factors associated with higher death risk.]
