High Systolic Blood Pressure at Hospital Admission Is an Important Risk Factor in Models Predicting Outcome of COVID-19 Patients.

ABSTRACT:

Background

The risk that coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) patients develop critical illness that can be fatal depends on their age and immune status and may also be affected by comorbidities like hypertension. The goal of this study was to develop models that predict outcome using parameters collected at admission to the hospital.

Methods and results

This is a retrospective single-center cohort study of COVID-19 patients at the Seventh Hospital of Wuhan City, China. Forty-three demographic, clinical, and laboratory parameters collected at admission plus discharge/death status, days from COVID-19 symptoms onset, and days of hospitalization were analyzed. From 157 patients, 120 were discharged and 37 died. Pearson correlations showed that hypertension and systolic blood pre
