A retrospective, descriptive, multiple-center study on the first case of 2019 novel coronavirus (COVID-19) pneumonia in Chongqing municipality, China, finding that severe patients were more likely to present dyspnea and confusion, and most severe patients demonstrated more laboratory abnormalities.

Clinical and Laboratory Profiles of 75 Hospitalized Patients with Novel Coronavirus Disease 2019 in Hefei, China

It is concluded that COVID-19 could cause different degrees of hematological abnormalities and damage of internal organs andAntiviral treatment requires a comprehensive and supportive approach.

Clinical characteristics of 41 patients with pneumonia due to 2019 novel coronavirus disease (COVID-19) in Jilin, China

Significant differences among the groups suggest that several clinical parameters may serve as biomarkers of COVID-19 severity at hospital admission, and Elevated cTnI could be considered as a predictor of severe COvid-19, reflecting the prognosis of patients with severe CO VID-19.

Clinical Characteristics of 138 Hospitalized Patients With 2019 Novel Coronavirus-Infected Pneumonia in Wuhan, China.

The epidemiological and clinical characteristics of novel coronavirus (2019-nCoV)-infected pneumonia in Wuhan, China, and hospital-associated transmission as the presumed mechanism of infection for affected health professionals and hospitalized patients are described.

Clinical Features of Patients Infected with the 2019 Novel Coronavirus (COVID-19) in Shanghai, China

In this single centre cohort of COVID-19 patients, the most common symptom was fever, and the mostCommon laboratory abnormality was decreased blood T cell counts, which were the risk factors most associated with severity of disease.

Clinical characteristics of 2019 novel coronavirus infection in China

The 2019-nCoV epidemic spreads rapidly by human-to-human transmission and the disease severity (including oxygen saturation, respiratory rate, blood leukocyte/lymphocyte count and chest X-ray/CT manifestations) predict poor clinical outcomes.
