AB  - Introduction: Coronavirus disease is an infectious disease caused by a newly discovered coronavirus ; Most people infected with the covid-19 virus will experience mild to moderate respiratory and recover oxygen however, that of severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) remains controversial.Aim of the study: We aimed to studythe correlation between the degree of attainment of COVID-19 and oxygen demandA retrospective study including 93 patients with laboratory-confirmed COVID-19 infection hospitalized in the pulmonology department of the military hospital of instruction of Tunis between ………… 2020 and February10,2021. We defined two groups: Group1 (n=50): patients with attainment lower than50%, Group2(n=43): patients needs lower than 5 l of oxygen.Results: A total of 93 patients were enrolled in the study. The population was majority male (75,2%) with a mean age of 60,5years old. Thirty-five  percent of patients were smokers. The most common comorbidities were: Hypertension ( 45%), diabetes (41%) and asthma (13,3%). Dyspnea was the main symptom (86,5%), followed by fatigue (65,1%), fever (64,9%) and cough (57, 3%). Our study did not show an association between patients with chronic respiratory disease and mortality(p=0,1). Patients with attainment superior than 50%  had a bit higher incidence of oxygen demand when comparing with those with lower attainment (p=)Measurements and Main Results: There is  no correlation between the severity of the attainment and the consumption of  oxygen.FootnotesCite this article as: European Respiratory Journal 2021; 58: Suppl. 65, PA3242.This abstract was presented at the 2021 ERS International Congress, in session “Prediction of exacerbations in patients with COPD”.This is an ERS International Congress abstract.
