Hello #Hivers, hope you are all doing fine in your life. These days I was busy for the interview preparation for my M.TECH admission because of which I was unable to bring up new article. Today, we are going to discuss about a new research that took place in the field of medical sciences. As per the new research it's found that COVID-19 patients are much healthier and younger than the Influenza patients. We will going to discuss about this research in details in this article. But as always before going into the topic let's start with the basics so as for easy understanding about this new research work.

Influenza is a viral disease that assaults your respiratory system — your nose, throat, and lungs. Influenza is usually called seasonal flu, yet it's not equivalent to stomach "influenza" infections that cause loose diarrhea and vomiting.
To understand about the COVID-19 in details please visit my previous article (here )
Patients hospitalized with COVID-19 were nearly bound male, additional youthful, and, in both the USA and Spain, had fewer comorbidities and lower drug use than hospitalized influenza patients as per an in-progress report distributed by the Observational Health information Sciences and science (OHDSI) community.
OHDSI has created a worldwide organization of specialists and observational health databases with a central coordinating place housed at the Department of Biomedical Informatics at Columbia University.
This worldwide organization study, including in far more than 34,000 COVID-19 patients from across three continents, is planned to convey more noteworthy insight relating to the characteristics of patients experiencing the ailment and to help advise dynamic around the consideration of hospitalized patients.
The investigation "Profound phenotyping of 34,128 grown-up patients hospitalized with COVID-19 of every a worldwide organization study" was distributed Oct. 6 by Nature Communications.
Patients hospitalized with COVID-19 were all the more normally male in the US and Spain, however more frequently female in South Korea. The times of patients shifted, yet in Spain and the US, the most widely recognized age bunches were between 60 to 75. Patients hospitalized with flu were ordinarily more established than those hospitalized with COVID-19, and bound to be female.
A large number of patients hospitalized with COVID-19 supposedly had other ailments. For instance, the predominance of hypertensive disorder ranges from 24% to 70%, diabetes from 13% to 43%, and asthma from 4% to 15%, across information sources. Regardless of this, be that as it may, when contrasted with patients hospitalized with influenza as of late, those with COVID-19 were seen to by and large be more beneficial. Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), cardiovascular infection, and dementia were all more normal among those hospitalized with influenza contrasted with those hospitalized with COVID-19.
This examination was started during the OHDSI COVID-19 study-a-thon, an 88-hour worldwide, between disciplinary cooperation. The underlying COVID-19 information was given by the Korean Health Insurance Review and Assessment Service (HIRA), and it enabled the network to produce the absolute soonest global examinations during the pandemic. All examinations are performed at the individual sites, which means no patient-level information should have been shared and persistent protection could be kept up.
"The most fascinating aspect of this examination is that it was conceivable to give the details of patients' qualities across foundations without disregarding their protection," said co-lead creator Seng Chan You, who helped lead the endeavors of planning HIRA information to the OHDSI regular information model.
The examination was created and executed by the OHDSI people group, a multi-partner, interdisciplinary coordinated effort that attempts to draw out the estimation of health data through enormous scope analytics. All arrangements are open-source, and connections to the study protocol, code, and results are posted in the paper.
"Open science and joint effort are fundamentals of the OHDSI people group, and they were never more significant than early in this pandemic," said Patrick Ryan, co-senior creator of this examination.
"This investigation is primary work for future collaborative evidence generation by both OHDSI and the EHDEN Consortium, which is planning extra COVID data across Europe," said co-senior creator Daniel Prieto-Alhambra.
