Clinical Course and Treatment of COVID-19 Inpatients in Hospital

The study is an epidemiological observational study. It serves to collect data from patients with positive COVID-19 test results who are hospitalized. All data describing the course of the inpatient stay are recorded (Length of stay, course of therapy, medication, X-ray and CT results,ventilation mode and duration, laboratory). Furthermore, anthropometric data and information on COVID-19 symptoms is recorded.

The aim of this study is to describe the course of disease and the treatment of patients suffering from COVID-19 who are hospitalized and treated as inpatients:

1. Are there common features (previous illnesses, medication, age, BMI, etc.), which may influence the course of disease?
2. Are there therapeutic procedures that have a positive or negative impact on the course of the disease or the length of stay in the intensive care unit/ the duration of ventilation (early/late intubation, CPAP, NIV, ECMO)?
