Abstract:

 Objective: The study was planned based on the demographic characteristics age and gender of 36704 people who applied to a hospital in the Istanbul European region with the suspicion of COVID-19. Method: Nasopharyngeal and oropharyngeal swab samples were taken from people who applied to the hospital between November 2020 and March 2021, and the detection of the SARS-CoV-2 virus was made by RT-qPCR technique. The data were evaluated with chi-square analysis and SPSS 28 statistical program was used in all calculations. Using the COVID-19 data in the first, middle, and last five days of the specified months, observing the course of the pandemic in this period was desired. Results: It was found that the most COVID-19 PCR test was performed in November 2020 with 13380 36.4 cases and 2347 of the cases were detected as positive. It was observed that 4231 11.5 of the total cases 36704 were positive in all of the mentioned months. The highest number of positive cases is between the ages of 20-39 with 1995 people 47.1. The following 1442 34.8 cases were reported to be between the ages of 40-59. While the distribution of COVID-19-positivepatients by age groups in November 2020 did not differ significantly between men and women, significant differences were found in December. The distribution of Covid-19 COVID-19 positive patients by age groups in 2020 and 2021 showed a significant difference. While the proportion of patients aged 0-9, 20-39, and over 60 was higher in 2020, the proportion of patients aged 10-19 and 40-59 was higher in 2021. Conclusion: The effect of age and gender factors in the pandemic triage of individuals during the pandemic period when they were exposed to the COVID-19 epidemic was investigated retrospectively. No application has been made to harm the private information of the patients. The study is thought to contribute to detecting the SARS-CoV-2 virus, detecting pandemics and epidemics, and managing treatment, especially depending on age and gender.
