The risk factors for severe COVID-19 were being male [adjusted odds ratio (a OR ) = 1.3, 95% CI: 1.2–1.5]; fever (a OR = 2.3, 95% CI: 2.0–2.7), cough (a OR = 1.4, 95% CI: 1.2–1.6), fatigue (a OR = 1.3, 95% CI: 1.2–1.5), and chronic kidney disease (a OR ...
Thus, genetic risk factors may have a role in disease progression. A previous study1 identified two genomic regions that are associated with severe COVID-19: one region on chromosome 3, which contains six genes, and one region on chromosome 9 that determines ABO blood groups. Recently, a ...
"Chronic medical conditions are still important risk factors for severe COVID-19. However, when a patient has just been admitted to the hospital, their current status can be more helpful in predicting what level of care they are likely to need," said ISB Assistant Professor Dr. Jennifer Hadlo...
"The risk factors that are consistently showing up as concerning for having a poor outcome are underlying heart or lung disease and, very strongly, obesity," Rizza said. "BMI over 30 is consistently in study after study shown to be a risk factor for having a poor outcome from COVID." Tr...
Genetic variants that are linked to immune signalling, mucus production and other functions increase the risk of critical COVID-19. By Freda Kreier Twitter Facebook Email Scientists have identified a host of genetic variants that are linked to an increased risk of developing severe COVID-191. ...
non-severe patients (P<0.05). Logistic regression analysis identified decreased CD4+T lymphocyte counts (odds ratio [OR]=0.988, 95%Confidence interval [95%CI] 0.979–0.997) and increased SAA levels (OR=1.029,95%CI1.002–1.058) as risk factors for severity of COVID-19 with diabetes (P<0.05...
ANCHORAGE, Alaska (AP) — New analysis suggests two out of three Alaska adults have at least one risk factor health officials link with a higher chance of severe COVID-19 infection.
Background In the context of the COVID outbreak of worldwide, we aim to analyze the laboratory risk factors of in﹉ospital death in patients with severe COVID. Methods All ≥18﹜ear﹐ld patients with confirmed severe COVID admitted to Tongji Hospital (Wuhan, China) from February 3 to ...
these proteins could be targeted by new medicines (or existing ones that have been repurposed). It has also allowed us to draw up a list of proteins that can be prioritized by other researchers, so that in future we can understand even more about what the biologicalriskfactors for COVID ...
Severe COVID-19 risk factors include old age, smoking and preexisting medical conditions such as diabetes mellitus, hypertension and cardiovascular disease (Ellinghaus et al., 2020). Nonetheless, there is increasing number of young healthy population with severe disease up to death (Liu et al.,...
