OBJECTIVES: The study aimed to determine the incidence of hospital-related COVID-19 (HrCOVID-19) among chronic kidney disease (CKD) patients in a specialty medical center in the Philippines

METHODS: A retrospective descriptive cross-sectional design with record review was done. The hospital’s list of confirmed COVID-19 was used to determine cases who developed signs and symptoms more than 14 days of hospital stay. Outcome categories, either discharged alive or mortality, were also identified.

RESULTS: Twenty-nine patients were included, predominantly males (55%) with mean age of 47 ± 14 years. Length of hospital stay to HrCOVID-19 confirmation was 24 days. An overall incidence rate of 1.26% (95% CI: 0.84-1.80) was seen, and peaked at 2.35% (95% CI: 1.13 – 4.28) in June 2020. Overall mortality rate was 45%. CONCLUSION: Incidence of HrCOVID-19 among CKD patients was low but has high mortality rates. Active identification, containment and prevention of in-hospital transmissions to achieve zero cases is desirable.
