Background: Coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) is a worldwide public health emergency. Aims: This study aimed to investigate the epidemiological and clinical characteristics of patients with COVID-19 in Saveh city, Islamic Republic of Iran in 2020. Methods: In this descriptive analytical research, 3181 patients suspected of having COVID-19 who visited Saveh med- ical centres were investigated. Patients were confirmed with COVID-19 using polymerase chain reaction testing. Data on sociodemographic, epidemiological and clinical characteristics of the patients were collected using a validated form through interviews and medical records. The chi-squared, t and Fisher exact tests were used to assess differences in socio- demographic, epidemiological and clinical characteristics between patients with positive and negative polymerase chain reaction results. Logistic regression analysis was used to examine the association between independent variables and death from COVID-19. Results: About half the patients (48.3%) had a history of chronic disease. Diabetes (16.2%), high blood pressure (14.8%) and cardiovascular disease (12.4%) were the most prevalent chronic diseases among patients who were confirmed positive for COVID-19. Risk factors for death among confirmed COVID-19 patients were: intubation (odds ratio (OR) = 8.97; 95% con- fidence interval (CI): 5.15–15.63), age ≥ 80 years (OR = 5.81; 95% CI: 1.91–17.60), oxygen saturation < 93% (OR = 2.48; 95% CI: 1.51–4.08), diabetes (OR = 1.88; 95% CI: 1.00–3.54) and shortness of breath (OR = 1.70; 95% CI: 1.02–2.82). Conclusion: Given the greater risks of contracting and dying from COVID-19 in certain groups of patients, health educa- tion programmes targeting these groups are recommended.
