Post -acute sequalae of COVID-19 and cardiac outcomes in U. S. military members.

ABSTRACT: Post -acute sequalae of COVID-19 (PASC) among U.S. military members remains unexplored. A cohort study of U. S. military members who had a COVID-19 test result, with the specimen collected between March 1, 2020 and November 30, 2021 was conducted. Demographic, inpatient and outpatient data including cardiac event diagnoses were extracted from electronic medical records and compared COVID-19 test-positive and COVID-19 test-negative service members. We used univariate and multivariable logistic regression methods to determine the effect PASC on select cardiac events. Among 997,785 service members, 15,779 (1.6%) were diagnosed with a cardiac event. In fully adjusted models, PASC was significantly associated with increased odds of any cardiac event [OR =1.64 (95% CI: 1.57, 1.71]. PASC was asso
