A network meta-analysis of association between cardiometabolic risk factors and COVID-19 outcome severity.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Cardiometabolic comorbidities have been associated with a higher risk of COVID-19 severity and mortality, but more investigations are needed to determine which comorbidity is more detrimental.

Methods

Embase, Emcare, and MEDLINE were searched systematically for prospective and retrospective studies assessing the associations of cardiometabolic risk factors and COVID-19 outcomes of hospitalization, severity, and mortality among COVID-19-diagnosed patients. Literature search was performed from first publication to May 19, 2021. Study quality was assessed by the Newcastle-Ottawa Scale.

Results

From the literature search, 301 studies suggested that all included cardiometabolic risk factors were associated with a higher risk of COVID-19 hospitalization, severity
