Prognostic Implications of Arrhythmia on Clinical Outcome |
T165 |
63-173 |
Sentence |
denotes |
Overall duration of hospitalization was longer in patients with arrhythmia associated with COVID-19 (Table 3). |
T166 |
174-329 |
Sentence |
denotes |
Univariate analysis showed an increase of hospitalization duration of 11.4 days with the presence of incident arrhythmia (95% CI 6.05–16.7 days; p <0.001). |
T167 |
330-561 |
Sentence |
denotes |
Additionally, patients with arrhythmia were more often admitted to ICU or IMC wards (OR 2.37; 95% CI 1.10–5.09; p = 0.03), and incident arrhythmia was associated with a longer duration of hospitalization on ICU/IMC wards (Table 3). |
T168 |
562-720 |
Sentence |
denotes |
Patients with incident arrhythmia more often received vasopressors for circulatory support and non-invasive ventilation or high-flow oxygen-therapy (Table 3). |
T169 |
721-885 |
Sentence |
denotes |
Importantly, patients with arrhythmia more often presented with severe respiratory failure requiring mechanical ventilation (OR 6.69; 95% CI 2.92–15.35; p < 0.001). |
T170 |
886-1008 |
Sentence |
denotes |
Duration of mechanical ventilation was not significantly different between patients with and without arrhythmia (Table 3). |
T171 |
1009-1171 |
Sentence |
denotes |
With regard to cardiac events, myocardial infarction was more common in the patient group with arrhythmia, however, with a low overall number of events (Table 3). |
T172 |
1172-1362 |
Sentence |
denotes |
Stroke or transient ischemic attack (TIA) occurred in one case in the patient group with arrhythmia who had a prior diagnosis of AF and frequent PVCs, and in two patients without arrhythmia. |
T173 |
1363-1604 |
Sentence |
denotes |
All patients with myocardial infarction or stroke/TIA had received anticoagulation therapy with low-molecular-weight-heparin, however, in one patient heparin-therapy was paused after coronary angiography due to severe bleeding complications. |
T174 |
1605-1761 |
Sentence |
denotes |
In-hospital mortality was significantly elevated in COVID-19 patients with incident arrhythmia during hospitalization (OR 3.02; 95% CI 1.22–7.46; p = 0.02). |
T175 |
1762-2063 |
Sentence |
denotes |
Multiple regression analyses adjusting for differences in baseline parameters revealed that the incidence of arrhythmia constitutes a more powerful prognostic factor regarding hospitalization duration and the need for mechanical ventilation than age and prevalence of cardiovascular disease (Table 4). |
T176 |
2064-2194 |
Sentence |
denotes |
Finally, previous diagnosis of cardiovascular disease in our cohort was significantly associated with mortality in these analyses. |
