Prognostic variables, resources consumed and cost in primary care of patients with COVID-19

This project will be led by Dr. Rosa Magallón Boyata, Principal Investigator of the Consolidated Group of Research in Primary Care of the Government of Aragon. At the present time, COVID-19 has generated the greatest public health crisis, putting the health system at serious risk of collapse. Thus, in mid-March it was necessary to resort to the national state of emergency and impose a home confinement that will continue, at least, until mid-April, with great chances of an extension. During this time, health services have been completely overwhelmed. In this new situation, tents and pavilions are being set up to be able to attend the increasing number of patients with mild, moderate or severe symptoms of the disease, deriving resources from other healthcare levels. In addition, the prognosis, as well as the clinical presentation, is highly variable, with no empirical evidence to corroborate these differences. In this project we want to stratify the infected population that does not require hospital admission, its pro-disposing factors, comorbidity and frailty, as well as analyze the use of resources in PC in this pandemic in our country.
