Abstract
Background: The role of oral anticoagulation during the COVID-19 pandemic has been debated widely. We studied the clinical outcomes of COVID-19 hospitalizations in patients who were on long-term anticoagulation.
Research design and methods: The Nationwide Inpatient Sample (NIS) database from 2020 was queried to identify COVID-19 patients with and without long-term anticoagulation. Multivariate regression analysis was used to calculate the adjusted odds ratio (aOR) of in-hospital outcomes.
Results: Of 1,060,925 primary COVID-19 hospitalizations, 102,560 (9.6%) were on long-term anticoagulation. On adjusted analysis, COVID-19 patients on anticoagulation had significantly lower odds of in-hospital mortality (aOR 0.61, 95% CI 0.58-0.64, P < 0.001), acute myocardial infarction (aOR 0.72, 95% CI 0.63-0.83, P < 0.001), stroke (aOR 0.79, 95% CI 0.66-0.95, P < 0.013), ICU admissions, (aOR 0.53, 95% CI 0.49-0.57, P < 0.001) and higher odds of acute pulmonary embolism (aOR 1.47, 95% CI 1.34-1.61, P < 0.001), acute deep vein thrombosis (aOR 1.17, 95% CI 1.05-1.31, P = 0.005) compared to COVID-19 patients who were not on anticoagulation.
Conclusions: Compared to COVID-19 patients not on long-term anticoagulation, we observed lower in-hospital mortality, stroke and acute myocardial infarction in COVID-19 patients on long-term anticoagulation. Prospective studies are needed for optimal anticoagulation strategies in hospitalized patients.
背景:口服抗凝在新冠肺炎大流行期间的作用一直备受争议。我们研究了长期接受抗凝治疗的新冠肺炎患者住院的临床结果。研究设计和方法:查询2020年全国住院患者样本(NIS)数据库,以确定新冠肺炎长期抗凝和非抗凝患者。多变量回归分析用于计算住院结果的调整比值比(aOR)。结果:在1060925例原发性新冠肺炎住院患者中,102560例(9.6%)接受了长期抗凝治疗。经调整的分析显示,接受抗凝治疗的新冠肺炎患者住院死亡率的几率显著降低(aOR 0.61,95%CI 0.58-0.64,P P P P P P = 0.005)与未接受抗凝治疗的新冠肺炎患者相比。结论:与未长期抗凝的新冠肺炎患者相比,长期抗凝的新冠肺炎患者住院死亡率、卒中和急性心肌梗死较低。需要对住院患者的最佳抗凝策略进行前瞻性研究。
