This study examined the epidemiological features of COVID-19 cases in Situbondo using descriptive analysis. The results revealed that from March to November 2020, there were 1,622 suspected cases and 816 confirmed cases. Moreover, females (total case 470%) were more likely to be infected than males (total case 346%). Mainly, the cases of COVID-19 infection were in the age group of 19-37 years old (36.8%), and almost half of the confirmed cases (41 cases) were caused by the infection from close contact to confirmed cases, based on the epidemiological investigation report. People with comorbidities were more susceptible to being infected. Hypertension (8.7%), diabetes (8.6%), heart disease (3.7%), kidney failure, and COPD, each by (1%) were the highestreported comorbidities in COVID-19 patients.

Abstract

Background: The SARS-CoV-2 mutation in the bodies of COVID-19 patients is a critical factor for health. Notably, in October 2022, the disease recovery rate in Sidoarjo (96.05%) was lower than the national rate (97.30%). Purpose: This study aims to identify the recovery time and its influencing factors in COVID-19 patients in Sidoarjo. Methods: The life-table method was used to conduct a survival analysis on data from the NAR COVID-19 dashboard in Sidoarjo from January 3 to August 4, 2022, which involved 20,662 respondents. Age group, sex, treatment status, and testing purpose were analyzed. Results: The majority of COVID-19 patients were females (50.30%) aged 26-<46 years (46.24%). Most patients (64.74%) chose to self-isolate, and 63.34% were screened as COVID-19 positive. On average, patients recovered within seven days of diagnosis. The Wilcoxon (Gehan) statistical test yielded a p-value of less than 0.001 for all factors at a significance level of 0.05, indicating a significant difference in the survival time distribution. The age group with the shortest median recovery time was 6-<12 years at 7.03 days, while males had a median recovery time of at 7.66 days. Patients who self-isolated had a median recovery time of 7.16 days, and those who were tested for close contact purposes had a median recovery time of 7.65 days. Conclusion: The median recovery time for COVID-19 patients post-diagnosis was seven days. There was a significant difference in recovery time among the COVID-19 patients based on age group, sex, treatment status, and testing purpose.
