The inclusion criteria were: (1) cohort studies or case-control studies reporting the clinical characteristics of patients with SARS-CoV2infection; (2) one or more clinical features were analyzed, including epidemiology, clinical symptoms, laboratory findings, comorbidities, treatment, complications, and outcomes; (3) patients were grouped according to the severity of disease, e.g., severe and non-severe groups or ICU and non-ICU groups. We extracted and analyzed items from eligible studies including the country, year, date of publication, the number of reported cases, sex, age, clinical symptoms and signs, comorbidities, laboratory findings, complications, and outcomes of patients with SARS-CoV2 infection who had severe (ICU) and non-severe (non-ICU) disease. ./cache/cord-304124-ym9mf5wz.txt ./txt/cord-304124-ym9mf5wz.txt
