Risk Factors for Intensive Care Unit Admission and In-hospital Mortality Among Hospitalized Adults Identified through the US Coronavirus Disease 2019 (COVID-19)-Associated Hospitalization Surveillance Network (COVID-NET)

Lindsay Kim et al.

Summary: This study identified factors associated with severe outcomes among adults hospitalized with COVID-19, including age, sex, comorbidities like obesity, immunosuppression, and diabetes. Older age, male gender, and certain underlying conditions were independently linked to increased risk of ICU admission and in-hospital mortality.

The effect of smoking on COVID-19 severity: A systematic review and meta-analysis

Rohin K. Reddy et al.

Summary: Smoking is associated with increased risk of severe COVID-19 and worse in-hospital outcomes, as current smokers and patients with a smoking history are more susceptible to severe disease and have higher mortality rates.

Independent Role of Severe Obesity as a Risk Factor for COVID-19 Hospitalization: A Spanish Population-Based Cohort Study

Ujue Fresan et al.

Summary: Severe obesity is a significant risk factor for COVID-19 hospitalization and severity in young adults, especially pronounced in those under 50 years old, with minimal impact on individuals aged 65 to 79 years. Sex and chronic conditions do not modify the effect of class 3 obesity in any outcomes.

Demographic risk factors for COVID-19 infection, severity, ICU admission and death: a meta-analysis of 59 studies

Bart G. Pijls et al.

Summary: A systematic review and meta-analysis showed that men and patients aged 70 and above have a higher risk for COVID-19 infection, severe disease, ICU admission, and death. The study included 59 studies comprising 36,470 patients, with men having a higher risk for infection and severe disease, while patients aged 70 and above having a higher risk for all outcomes once infected.

Comparison of the characteristics, morbidity, and mortality of COVID-19 and seasonal influenza: a nationwide, population-based retrospective cohort study

Lionel Piroth et al.

Summary: Patients hospitalized for COVID-19 and influenza in France showed significant differences in terms of hospitalization requirements, clinical characteristics, and outcomes, with COVID-19 patients more likely to develop severe complications and have higher mortality rates. In children, while hospitalization rate for COVID-19 appeared lower than for influenza, in-hospital mortality was higher, although limited by low patient numbers. These findings emphasize the need for appropriate preventive measures, specific vaccines, and treatments for COVID-19.

Jonathan Bergman et al.

Summary: This nationwide study in Sweden identified age, sex, and comorbidity as major risk factors for severe COVID-19. Additionally, hypertension, asthma, Down syndrome, and residence in a long-term care facility were associated with severe COVID-19.

Ujue Fresan et al.

Summary: The study found that, in the general population, individuals with cardiovascular, cerebrovascular, and chronic kidney diseases, rather than those with hypertension alone, should be considered as high-risk groups for COVID-19 hospitalization and severe COVID-19.
