Prevalence and Impact of Coagulation Dysfunction in COVID-19 in China: A Meta-Analysis.

ABSTRACT:

Background

The aim of this meta-analysis is to assess the prevalence of coagulation dysfunction in Chinese COVID-19 patients and to determine the association of coagulopathy with the severity and prognosis of COVID-19.

Methods

A meta-analysis of the prevalence of different abnormal coagulation indicators in COVID-19 patients in China was performed. The difference of coagulation indicators and the incidence of DIC were compared between severe cases and nonsevere cases as well as nonsurvivors and survivors, respectively.

Results

A total of 22 Chinese studies involving 4,889 confirmed COVID-19 inpatients were included. The average D-dimer value of COVID-19 patients is 0.67 µg/mL (95% confidence interval [CI]: 0.56-0.78), and 29.3% (95% CI: 20.1-38.5%) of patients showed elevated D-dimer values. Severe patients had significantly higher D-dimer levels and prolonged prothrombin time (PT) compared with nonsevere patients. Nonsurvivors had significantly higher D-dimer levels, prolonged PT, and decreased platelet count compared with survivors. In total, 6.2% (95% CI: 2.6-9.9%) COVID-19 patients were complicated by disseminated intravascular coagulation (DIC), in which the log risk ratio in nonsurvivors was 3.267 (95% CI: 2.191-4.342, Z = 5.95, p < 0.05) compared with that in survivors.

Conclusion

The prevalence of coagulopathy in Chinese COVID-19 inpatients is high, and both the abnormal coagulation indicators and DIC are closely associated with the severity and poor prognosis of these COVID-19 patients. Therefore, attention should be paid to coagulation dysfunction in COVID-19 patients. Closely monitoring of coagulation indicators and application of appropriate anticoagulation may improve the prognosis of COVID-19 inpatients in China.

Project description:PurposeStudies have found that erectile dysfunction (ED) may be a short-term or long-term complication in coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) patients, but no relevant studies have completed a pooled analysis of this claim. The purpose of the review was to comprehensively search the relevant literature, summarize the prevalence of ED in COVID-19 patients, assess risk factors for its development, and explore the effect of the COVID-19 infection on erectile function.MethodsMedline, Embase, and the Cochrane Library was performed from database inception until April 14, 2022. Heterogeneity was analyzed by χ2 tests and I2 was used as a quantitative test of heterogeneity. Subgroup analyses, meta-regression, and sensitivity analyses were used to analyze sources of heterogeneity.ResultsOur review included 8 studies, 4 of which functioned as a control group. There were 250,606 COVID-19 patients (mean age: 31-47.1 years, sample size: 23-246,990). The control group consisted of 10,844,200 individuals (mean age: 32.76-42.4 years, sample size 75-10,836,663). The prevalence of ED was 33% (95% CI 18-47%, I2 = 99.48%) in COVID-19 patients. The prevalence of ED based on the international coding of diseases (ICD-10) was 9% (95% CI 2-19%), which was significantly lower than the prevalence of ED diagnosed based on the International Index of Erectile Function (IIEF-5) (46%, 95% CI 22-71%, I2 = 96.72%). The pooling prevalence of ED was 50% (95% CI 34-67%, I2 = 81.54%) for articles published in 2021, significantly higher than that for articles published in 2022 (17%, 95% CI 7-30%, I2 = 99.55%). The relative risk of developing ED was 2.64 times in COVID-19 patients higher than in non-COVID-19 patients (RR: 2.64, 95% CI 1.01-6.88). The GRADE-pro score showed that the mean incidence of ED events in COVID-19 patients was 1,333/50,606 (2.6%) compared with 52,937/844,200 (0.4%) in controls; the absolute impact of COVID-19 on ED was 656/100,000 (ranging from 4/100,000 to 2352/100,000). Anxiety (OR: 1.13, 95% CI 1.03-1.26, I2 = 0.0%) in COVID-19 patients was a risk factor for ED.ConclusionCOVID-19 patients have a high risk and prevalence of ED, mainly driven by anxiety. Attention should be paid to patient's erectile functioning when treating COVID-19.
