description Background Severe acute respiratory tract infection (SARI) is a major global health threat. This study aimed to examine risk factors associated with poor outcomes in patients with SARI. Methods All patients who met World Health Organization's (WHO) SARI case definition and were admitted to Salmaniya Medical Complex from January 2018 to December 2021 were included. Epidemiological and virological data were obtained and analyzed. Results Of 1159 patients with SARI included, 731 (63.1%) patients were below 50 years, and 357 (30.8%) tested positive for viral pathogens. The most prevalent virus was Flu‐A (n = 134, 37.5%), SARS‐CoV2 (n = 118, 33%), RSV (n = 51, 14.3%), Flu B (n = 49,13.7%), other viruses (n = 3, 0.8%), and combined infection (n = 2, 0.6%). Six hundred fifty‐eight (56.8%) patients had comorbidities, mainly diabetes (n = 284, 43%) and heart disease (n = 217, 33%). 183 (16%) patients were admitted to ICU, 110 (9%) needed mechanical ventilation, and 80 (7%) patients died. The odds of ICU admission were higher for patients with hematological (OR 5.9, 95% CI 3.1–11.1) and lung diseases (OR 2.7, 95% CI 1.6–4.6). The odds of mechanical ventilation were higher among patients with lung disease (OR 3.1, 95% 1.7–5.5). The mortality odds were higher among patients above 50 (OR 2.4, 95% CI 1.4–4.1) and chronic kidney disease (OR 2.5, 95% CI 1.1–5.2). Conclusions Being 50 years or above or having kidney, lung, or heart diseases was associated with worse SARI outcomes. Efforts and actions in developing better strategies to vaccinate individuals at high risk and early diagnosis and treatment should help in reducing the burden of SARI.
