Abstract
Coronavirus Disease 2019 (Covid-19) is an infectious viral disease of a new type of betacoronavirus and is named 2019 novel Coronavirus (2019-nCoV). WHO recommends diagnostic tests for patients with suspected Covid-19, with molecular detection / NAAT (Nucleic Acid Amplification Test) such as RT-PCR using the naso-oropharyngeal swab method.
This research discuss about the characteristic of inpatients suspected Covid-19 based on the result of the RT-PCR swab at theDustira Army Hospital so that is useful for epidemiological data. This research is a descriptive study with a cross sectional design. The study sample was a total sampling of inpatients with suspected Covid-19 who were tested by RT-PCR. The results of RT-PCR were positive if the CT value was <41. The results of the data were analyzed using statistical tests that were in accordance with the significance if p <0.001 with the odds ratio (OR) based on the Confidential interval (CI) 95%.
The results showed that the mean CT value of positive RT-PCR was 30,345 (20.17-40.52). The characteristics of the most inpatients suspected Covid-19 with positive RT-PCR were male (65.01%), aged 25-50 years (40.35%), TNI / Polri occupation (45.17%) with the rank of non-commissioned officers / group II (51.02%) and units outside Kodam III / Slw (86.22%). Male patients confirmed of Covid-19 with positive PCR results were significantly at risk 2.3 times greater, while those aged 25-50 years had a 1.39 times greater risk and occupation of the TNI / Polri had a 4.78 times greater risk. Inpatients suspected Covid-19 were significantly dominant at the age of 25-50 years. with the main symptoms of the airway system.
Inpatients suspected Covid-19 with positive RT-PCR results had an average CT value of 30,345, with the most significant characteristics being male, aged 25-50 years, occupation of the TNI / Polri, as well as the main symptoms of the respiratory system.
