A DIFFERENT PERSPECTIVE ON SARS‐COV‐2 PANDEMIC: DATA, OUTCOMES AND DEMOGRAPHIC ANALYSIS OF A STUDY CONDUCTED AT GENERAL HOSPITAL NINH THUAN PROVINCE IN VIETNAM IN 2022

SARS‐CoV‐2 infection was first reported in 2019 and has since spread worldwide. This is a cross‐sectional study in cooperation with the School of Medicine of Aldo Moro University of Bari City, Italy. We conducted a study on how the COVID‐19 epidemics evolved and how different countermeasures contained it by taking into account data showing socio‐demographic and that older persons, as well as individuals with comorbidities and poor metabolic health, and people coming from economically depressed areas with lower quality of life in general, are more likely to develop severe COVID‐ 19 infection. Examine the association between county‐level socio‐demographic risk factors and COVID‐19 incidence and mortality, determining the possible emo‐biological markers, ferritin, and lymphocytes indicative of SARS‐CoV‐2 infection. Methods: A descriptive cross‐sectional study was conducted on 600 patients examined and treated at General Hospital Ninh Thuan from January to September 2022. Thirty-three of 600 patients were confirmed to be infected with SARS‐CoV‐2 (5.5%), males 4.8% and females 5.8%; the median age of infected patients is 36 years. Most infections were mild (75.8%). Our results revealed that socio-demographic arrangements' structure and spatial arrangement are important as epidemiological determinants or disease markers. Approximately 5.5% of patients infected with SARS‐CoV‐2 come for examination and treatment at the hospital; these findings suggested that possible infection rate in the burden of the COVID‐19 pandemic, the sociodemographic risk factors, and their root causes must be addressed. In addition, lab results obtained from affected patients showed that lymphocytes and ferritin could be considered traits of mild COVID‐19 infection.
