The clinical characteristics of 185 patients with COVID-19 diagnosed in Tianjin were analysed retrospectively to determine the factors affecting their prognoses and the duration of viral shedding with the aim of facilitating early treatment and improving patient prognosis. We found that a lower PaO 2 /FiO 2 at the time of admission is a risk factor for a poor prognosis in patients with severe COVID-19. In our study, univariate analysis results showed that age was a risk factor for prolonged viral shedding duration, but no significant difference was found in the multivariate Cox analysis. This study showed that diabetes mellitus, age, the time from symptom onset to treatment and PaO 2 /FiO 2 can predict the prognosis of patients with COVID-19.	./cache/cord-288102-iom6lu7o.txt	./txt/cord-288102-iom6lu7o.txt
