The Association of COVID-19 and Mortality in Hospitalizations With Coronary Artery Bypass Graft.

ABSTRACT:

Background

COVID-19 is associated with a higher burden of cardiovascular morbidity and mortality. The association of COVID-19 and mortality in hospitalizations with coronary artery bypass graft (CABG) has not been determined.

Methods

We conducted a population-based cohort study of the association of COVID-19 and mortality in hospitalizations with CABG using the Texas Inpatient Public Use Data File over the period Q2 2020 through Q4 2023. The primary exposure was a diagnosis of COVID-19, and the primary outcome was in-hospital mortality. Short-term mortality and total length of stay were used as secondary outcomes. The primary analysis approach was overlapping propensity score weighting with treatment weighting and inverse probability of treatment weighting applied as alterna
