Factors related to the outcome were comorbidities (p=0.015) and disease degree (p<0.001). Factors related to the length of hospital stay were age (p=0.049) and comorbidities (p=0.029). There is a significant relationship between comorbidities and disease severity with the outcome. There is a significant relationship between age and comorbidities with the length of hospital stay.
