Heart rate variability and mortality in critically ill COVID-19 pneumonia patients.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Heart rate variability (HRV) has prognostic value for predicting mortality in both cardiovascular and sepsis patients. Decreased HRV has been associated with increased mortality and morbidity. However, the prognostic significance of HRV in critically ill patients COVID-19 pneumonia still remains unknown. The current study aimed to (1) evaluate prognostic utility of HRV parameters on outcomes in patients with severe COVID-19 pneumonia and (2) assess the correlation between HRV parameters and inflammatory markers.

Methods

Consecutive critically ill patients with COVID-19 pneumonia admitted to a tertiary referral intensive care unit from October 2021 to June 2022 in Bangkok, Thailand were enrolled. HRV parameters over the 24 h following intensive care unit admission
