Analysis of Mortality Factors in COVID-19 Patients; Systematic Review

International Journal Of Science, Technology & Management, 2021

Coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) is a highly contagious disease caused by the severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) virus. The increase in the number of COVID-19 cases is progressing quickly and has been spread between countries. As of October 14, 2020, there are 213 countries/regions around the world that have reported Covid-19 with a total of 38,002,699 confirmed cases of which 1,083,234 died. The purpose of this study was to determine the relationship between mortality factors and mortality in COVID-19 patients to predict the patient's prognosis. This research method is a systematic review through a literature review on mortality factors in COVID-19 patients Literature searches were accessed through internet searches using the Pubmed database based on the preferred reporting items for systemic review and meta-analysis (PRISMA). A systematic search was carried out on 18 October-20 October 2020 with the keywords "COVID-19" AND "Death" OR "Decease" AND "Factor Associated". There were 8 literature selected that met the inclusion and exclusion criteria. Based on the findings of the eight journals, mortality is old age, male, has a clinical condition of hypertension, obesity, diabetes, cardiovascular disease, lung disease, neurological disease, lymphophenia laboratory test results, hyperlactate dehydrogenase, increased procalcitonin, increased neutrophils, increased C-reactive protein, and increased D-dimer. All literature reported that a p value <0.05 was obtained from the analysis of the relationship between mortality factors and cases of death in COVID-19 patients. There is a significant relationship between mortality factors and the death of COVID-19 patients, where the mortality factors are elderly, male, have a clinical condition of hypertension, obesity, diabetes, cardiovascular disease, lung disease, neurological disease, lymphophenia laboratory test results, hyperlactate dehydrogenase, increase in procalcitonin, increase in neutrophils, increase in C-reactive protein, and increase in D-dimers in which the prognosis of patients who have mortality factors tends to be worse.

Factors Associated with Death of Covid-19 Patients: Case Series

Serbian Journal of Experimental and Clinical Research

This aim of this study was to identify potential factors associated with survival in patients with coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID- 19). This study was designed as a case series. It included patients hospitalized in Clinical Centre Kragujevac between March 10, 2020, and June 15, 2020, due to COVID-19. Variables with significant influence on the cure of patients were identified by multivariate logistic regression. A total of 234 patients were included. The average age of the patients was 57.2 ± 15.8 years. Thirty-five patients died (15.0%) and 199 (85.0%) were discharged as completely cured and with the sustained virological response. The study variables with significant influence (expressed as odds ratio – OR) on cure of COVID-19 patients after adjustment for effects of other variables were: stay in an intensive care unit – ICU (OR = 0.007; 95% confidence interval – CI 0.001 – 0.086; p = 0.000), previous hospitalization (OR = 7.802; 95% CI 1.198 – 50.924; p = 0.032), increased body ...

Risk factors for mortality among COVID-19 patients

Diabetes Research and Clinical Practice, 2020

COVID-19 is a current global pandemic. However, comprehensive global data analyses for its mortality risk factors are lacking. The current investigation aimed to assess the predictors of death among COVID-19 patients from worldwide open access data. Methods: A total of 828 confirmed cases of COVID-19 with definite outcomes were retrospectively identified from open access individual-level worldwide data. Univariate followed by multivariable regression analysis were used to evaluate the association between potential risk factors and mortality. Results: Majority of the patients were males 59.1% located in Asia 69.3%. Based on the data, older age (adjusted odds ratio (aOR), 1.079; 95% confidence intervals (95% CI), 1.064-1.095 per year increase), males (aOR, 1.607; 95% CI, 1.002-2.576), patients with hypertension (aOR, 3.576; 95% CI, 1.694-7.548), diabetes mellitus (aOR, 12.234; 95% CI, 4.126-36.272), and patients located in America (aOR, 7.441; 95% CI, 3.546-15.617) were identified as the risk factors of mortality among COVID-19 patients. Conclusions: Males, advanced age, hypertension patients, diabetes mellitus patients, and patients located in America were the independent risk factors of death among COVID-19 patients. Extra attention is required to be given to these factors and additional studies on the underlying mechanisms of these effects.

Clinical and Demographic Predictors of Mortality due to COVID-19 Pandemic: A Retrospective Study

https://www.ijhsr.org/IJHSR\_Vol.11\_Issue.5\_May2021/IJHSR-Abstract.011.html, 2021

The alarming statistics of COVID-19 surges up in 2021 throwing an enormous burden on the healthcare system across the world. According to WHO reports on 14th April 2021, globally 136,996,364 confirmed COVID-19 cases are reported across the continents, including 2,951,832 deaths. The state of Maharashtra reported the maximum number of cases of India including high mortality rate. This study was conducted to identify and describe the relation of different predictors (Age, gender, duration of hospital stay, presence of co morbidities) of mortality among the COVID-19 deceased patients by retrospectively analyzing the medical case records of 121 patients from a dedicated COVID hospital at Aurangabad from July 2020 to December 2020. Chi-square test was performed to assess the association between causes of death with different cluster of variables and their significance. This study helps us to identify risk factors that show association between various predictors and mortality rate in COVID-19 patients. Out of 121 deaths, 96 (79%) were male, 61 (49.6%) were in age group between 60-79 years, ARDS was one of the major complication in the deceased patients accounting 29.8% and cardio respiratory arrest was the common cause of death among the deceased patients with 85%. It was also observed that mortality rate was very higher in the initial five days of hospitalization with critical care support. Our result findings provide clinical inferences for physicians to identify high-risk factors with COVID-19 at a very early stage.

Iranian Journal of Public Health

Background: The current study aimed to identify effective factors on the death among COVID-19 patients. Methods: All articles published in the period Jan 1, 2020, to Mar 23, 2020, written in English and reporting factors associated with COVID-19 mortality were reviewed. The random-effects model with 95% CI was used to calculate the pooled Odds Ratio (OR) and Hazard Ratio (HR). Data were analyzed using Stata ver.11.0. Results: The older age OR: 1.21(1.10-1.33) and male gender OR: 1.41(1.04-1.89) were most prone to death due to COVID-19. The Comorbidity with some chronic diseases such as Diabetes type2 OR: 2.42(1.06-5.52), Hypertension OR: 2.54(1.21-5.32), Kidney disorder OR: 2.61(1.22-5.60), Respiratory disorder 3.09 (1.39-6.88) and Heart diseases OR: 4.37 (1.13-16.90) can increase the risk of COVID19 mortality. Conclusion: Infection with COVID-19 is associated with substantial mortality mainly in older patients with comorbidities. We found the significant effect of age, gender and c...
