Should all patients with hypertension be worried about developing severe coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19)?
- We have come up with some prognostic factors to predict the severity of COVID-19 among hypertensive patients.
- Medical profiles of 598 COVID-19 cases were analyzed. Patients were divided into two comparative groups according to their positive or negative history of hypertension. Then, epidemiologic, clinical, laboratory and radiological features and also clinical outcomes were compared.
- 176 (29.4%) patients had underlying hypertension. Diabetes was significantly higher in hypertensive group
- In COVID-19 patients with hypertension, severe/critical types were significantly higher.
- Body mass index > 25, age over 60, increased hospitalization period, type 2 diabetes and chronic kidney disease were related with progression of COVID-19.
- Hypertensive patients with Age > 60-year-old, BMI > 25 Kg/m2, CVD, diabetes and chronic kidney disease are associated with poor outcomes in those with COVID-19 infection.
