| Abstract | COVID-19 je zarazna bolest uzrokovana virusom SARS-CoV-2 koja se pojavila krajem 2019.
godine u Kini. Jedan je od vrlo zabrinjavajućih globalnih događaja u svijetu, okarakteriziran
prema Svjetskoj zdravstvenoj organizaciji kao pandemija.
Cilj istraživanja je prikazati broj umrlih od COVID-19 u Općoj bolnici Dubrovnik u periodu od
dvije godine i to od početka travnja 2020. godine, kada je zabilježen prvi smrtni slučaj od
COVID-19 u OB Dubrovnik, zaključno s travnjem 2022. godine.
U promatranom razdoblju je umrlo 329 osoba, od toga 209 (63.5%) muškaraca i 120 (36.5%)
žena. Umrli su podijeljeni u tri dobne skupine. U dobi od 18 do 39 godina umrle su 2 osobe
(0.6%), u dobi od 40 do 64 godine umrlo je 36 osoba (10.94%), dok je u dobi preko 65 godina
umrla 291 osoba (88.44%). Umrli koji zahvaćaju kategoriju starijih od 65 godina podijeljeni su u
tri potkategorije. U dobi između 65 i 74 godine umrlo je 80 ljudi (24.31%), u dobi između 75 i 84
godine umrlo je 113 osoba (34.34%), a u dobi preko 85 godina umrlo je 98 osoba (29.78%).
Dvadeset sedam umrlih osoba (8.2%) nije imalo nikakve komorbiditete. 74 umrle osobe
(22.49%) imale su jedan komorbiditet, dok je 228 osoba (69.3%) umrlo s više komorbiditeta.
Popratne srčane bolesti su nađene kod 135 (41.03%), bolesti pluća kod 52 (15.80%), jetrene
bolesti kod 14 (4.25%), bolesti bubrega kod 25 (7.59%), a bolesti središnjeg živčanog sustava
kod 67 umrlih osoba (20.36%). Povišen krvni tlak je imalo 209 umrlih osoba (63.52%). Sa
dijabetesom je umrlo 105 (31.91%) osoba. Stanje nakon transplantacije organa je nađeno kod 5
(1.51%) umrlih osoba. Značajna debljina je bila komorbiditet kod 17 umrlih (5.16%). Dvadeset
šest (7.90%) umrlih osoba su bili onkološki bolesnici. U skupini s ostalim komorbiditetima je
umrlo 19 osoba (5.77%). U promatranom dvogodišnjem periodu 59 osoba se cijepilo (17.93%),
266 osoba nije bilo cijepljeno (80.85%) dok za 4 umrle osobe (1.21%) cijepni status nije bio
poznat. Iz provedenog istraživanja može se zaključiti kako je najviše umrlih bilo muškog spola,
starije dobne skupine s više od jednog komorbiditeta te kako velika većina umrlih osoba nije bila
cijepljena. |
| Abstract (english) | COVID-19 is an infectious disease caused by the SARS-CoV-2 virus that appeared in China at
the end of 2019. It is one of the most intimidating global events in the world, characterized as a
pandemic, by the World Health Organization.
The aim of the research is to show the number of deaths caused by COVID-19 in Dubrovnik
General Hospital over a period of two years, from the beginning of April 2020, when the first
death caused by COVID-19 was registered in Dubrovnik General Hospital, to the end of April
2022.
In the observed period, 329 persons died, 209 (63.5%) of them were men and 120 (36.5%) were
women. Deceased were divided into three age ranges. In the range from 18 to 39, 2 persons died
(0.6%), in the range from 40 to 64, 36 persons died (10.94%), while in the age range over 65, 291
persons died (88.44 %).
Deaths of persons who were older than 65 years old, were divided into three subcategories. In the
range between 65 and 74, 80 persons died (24.31%). In the range between 75 and 84, 113 persons
died (34.34%), and in the range over the age of 85, 98 persons died (29.78%). 27 persons (8.2%)
who died didn't have any comorbidities. 74 persons (22.49%) who died from COVID-19 had one
comorbidity, while 228 of them (69.3%) died with multiple comorbidities. 135 (41.03%) persons
who died already had some kind of heart disease, 52 (15.80%) of the deceased had lung diseases,
14 (4.25%) of the deceased had liver disease, 25 (7.59%) of them had kidney diseases and 67
(20.36%) of the deceased had central nervous system diseases. 209 (63.52%) persons had high
blood pressure. 105 (31.91%) of the persons who died from COVID-19 had diabetes. In 5 of
them (1.51%) was found the post-transplant condition. Comorbidity in 17 (5.16%) of the persons
who died was significant obesity. 26 (7.90%) of the deceased persons were cancer patients. 19
(5.77%) persons died with some other comorbidities. In the observed two-year period, 59
(17.93%) persons were vaccinated, 266 (80.85%) persons were not, while the vaccination status
of 4 (1.21%) persons is unknown. From this study, it can be concluded that most of the deceased
were elderly men, with more than one comorbidity. Also, the majority of the deceased were not
vaccinated. |
