REGRESSION, ANOREXIA
Analysis of the predisposing factors of mortality was the first approach for all 162 patients recruited. A binary logistic regression model for evaluation of survival vs. mortality was carried out. Influencing factors were as follows: (i) female gender (Indeed, in the 18 patients with high severity on X-ray (value of 3), a statistically sig- nificant value Digestive symptoms among the survival cohorts were also analyzed, with 52/139 (37.4%) experiencing at least one digestive symptom. Diarrhea was the most common digestive symptom reported in 32/139 (23.0%), followed by anorexia in 28/139 (20.1%), abdominal pain in 18/139 (12.9%) and nausea/vomiting in 15/139 (10.8%). The evolution of gastrointestinal symptoms showed a 1.6 day-reduction in the average period of symptom persistence. We observed an average duration of gastrointestinal symptoms of 4.3 ± 2.2 days (The duration of hospitalization was also analyzed for the 139 surviving patients, but no statistically significant differences were observed (
