However, cardiovascular diseases stil lead the causes of death. Thus, the objective of this study is to identify the clinical predictors and outcome of severe COVID-19 in hospitalized patients with and without CVD in this region of the Amazon.
A retrospective cohort, refering to the notifications from January 1 to December 31, 20, including cases confirmed by molecular testing. The study consisted of 923 confirmed cases for COVID-19. Of these, 601 (65.17%) did not have cardiovascular disease and 3212 (34.83%) had some cardiovascular disease.
The significance of deaths was in the age group of < 1 to 59 CVD cariers (< 0.01). Predictor of mortality were invasive ventilation for patients with CVD, (OR 23,68 CI 18,180–30,86), folowed by chronic kidney disease (OR 242 CI 1568–3740), dyspnea (OR 2312 CI 1817–3941), respiratory distres (OR 1523 CI 1210–2919), cough (OR 1268 CI 105–159), Lower oxygen saturation 95% (OR 1281 CI 1039–1579), diabetes melitus (OR 1267 CI 1050–1528) and age (OR 1051 CI 104–1058).
Cariers of CVD had a lower survival rate (< 0.01). The order of the predictors of death difered among the non-cariers, as wel as the high ods ratio in the predictors of CVD, only cough was an independent predictor. The age group under 59 years was asociated with deaths.
Summary
We also show the shorter survival in CVD cariers, as wel as the higher cardiovascular morbidity rate than oth
