Sažetak

Background: The aim of this study was to compare of psychiatric symptoms in patients with COVID-19 hospitalized in intensive
care units and non-intensive care units.
Subjects and methods: 3351 hospitalized patients due to COVID-19 were retrospectively scanned, and 130 of patients were
checked by attending consultation psychiatrists.
Results: The mean age of the patients with COVID-19 hospitalized in ICU (75±11.3) was higher than those hospitalized in non-
ICU (57.9±14) (p<0.001). The rate of patients aged 65 and over was higher in patients with COVID-19 hospitalized ICU (86.3%)
than those hopitalized in non-ICU (40.5%) (p<0.001). The frequency of psychiatric consultations due to delirium was higher in the
patients hospitalized in ICU than those hospitalized in non-ICU (p<0.001). Haloperidol and SSRIs were preferred more frequently
by psychiatrists in the patients hospitalized in ICU than those hospitalized in non-ICU (p<0.001 and p=0.041, respectively).
Conclusions: Insomnia and delirium are the most frequent psychiatric manifestations in hospitalized COVID-19 patients, and
delirium and anxiety are more common in the COVID-19 patients who are hospitalized in ICU.
