The Impact of Substance Use Disorder on Covid - 19 Severity: The Princess Mother National Institute on Drug Abuse Treatment (PMNIDAT)
Keywords:
Coronavirus disease 19, Disease severity, Substance Use DisorderAbstract
Objectives: To study the impact of substance use disorder on the severity of the coronavirus disease 2019 among patients receiving treatment at Princess Mother National Institute on Drug Abuse Treatment (PMNIDAT).
Materials & Methods: This retrospective study collected data from medical records of patients admitted to PMNIDAT between April 10, 2021 and September 30, 2021.
Results: There was no significant difference in the severity of COVID-19 among patients with and without substance use disorder.
Conclusion: The result of the current study indicated that substance use may not influence the severity of the COVID-19 infection. This is not inconsistent with the result from the previous studies, probably because PMNIDAT was the field hospital that provides medical care for asymptomatic or mildly symptomatic patients. The patients with high severe symptoms were therefore referred to other hospitals. As a result, the disease severity of COVID-19 patients with and without a history of substance use disorder was limited to mild to moderate. Thus, the data analysis results were not different between the two groups.
