Objectives:
Is there an association between COVID-19 severity and mortality rate with the history of cardiovascular diseases and/or other comorbidities and cardiac injury laboratory markers?
Study design:
This review article included 56 studies with 17,794 COVID-19 patients.
Results and conclusions:
The investigators found COVID-19 patients with high cardiac troponin I [OR = 5.22, 95% CI = 3.73 to 7.31, p 0.001] and AST levels [OR = 3.64, 95% CI = 2.84 to 4.66, p 0.001] were more likely to develop adverse outcomes.
The investigators concluded high troponin I >13.75 ng/L combined with either advanced age >60 years or elevated AST level >27.72 U/L is the best model to predict poor outcomes of COVID-19.
