The aim of the present study was to analyze the epidemiological characteristics of COVID-۱۹ patients in Rudan county so that regional managers can make timely and effective decisions.Materials and Methods: This is a cross-sectional study performed on all registered patients with confirmed COVID-۱۹ in Rudan county by July ۱۰, ۲۰۲۰. Patient information was extracted from COVID-۱۹ patient information registration system. The collected data included gender, age, mortality, underlying disease, time of infection, occupation, contact history, and hospitalizations. Data were analyzed using SPSS version ۲۲.۰.Results: In this study, ۶۱۴ (۵۶%) of the patients were male and ۴۷۷ (۴۳%) were female. The mean age of patients was ۴۳ ± ۱۷ years. A total of ۱۳۶ patients (۱۲.۵%) had at least one underlying disease. The majority of patients with underlying diseases (۷۵%) had a history of contact with a patient with confirmed COVID-۱۹. There was no statistically significant relationship between mortality and gender. The mean age of inpatients and outpatients was ۵۶ ± ۱۹ and ۴۰ ± ۱۵ years, respectively. Most deaths occurred among the elderly and housewives, and the highest infection rate also occurred among the latter group.Conclusion: In a situation where the COVID-۱۹ pandemic is a global threat, health systems must demonstrate appropriate and timely responses based on the development and implementation of preventive policies and the care of vulnerable and high-risk patients.
