Obesity, ethnicity and risk of critical care, mechanical ventilation and mortality in patients admitted to hospital with COVID-19: Analysis of the ISARIC CCP-UK cohort.
Objective: The aim of this study was to investigate the asso-ciation of obesity with in- hospital coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID- 19) outcomes in different ethnic groups.Methods: Patients admitted to hospital with COVID- 19 in the United Kingdom through the Clinical Characterisation Protocol UK (CCP- UK) developed by the International Severe Acute Respiratory and emerging Infections Consortium (ISARIC) were included from February 6 to October 12, 2020. Ethnicity was classified as White, South Asian, Black, and other minority eth-nic groups. Outcomes were admission to critical care, mechani-cal ventilation, and in- hospital mortality, adjusted for age, sex, and chronic diseases.Results: Of the participants included, 54,254 (age = 76 years; 45.0% women) were White, 3,728 (57 years; 41.1% women) were South Asian, 2,523 (58 years; 44.9% women) were Black, and 5,427 (61 years; 40.8% women) were other ethnicities. Obesity was associated with all outcomes in all ethnic groups, with associations strongest for black ethnicities. When stratified by ethnicity and obesity status, the odds ratios for admission to critical care, mechanical ventilation, and mortality in black eth-nicities with obesity were 3.91 (3.13- 4.88), 5.03 (3.94- 6.63), and 1.93 (1.49- 2.51), respectively, compared with White ethnicities without obesity.Conclusions: Obesity was associated with an elevated risk of in- hospital COVID- 19 outcomes in all ethnic groups, with asso-ciations strongest in Black ethnicities.</p
Outcomes of hospitalised immunocompromised patients, compared with immunocompetent patients.
Odds ratios (ORs) from multivariable logistic regression and 95% confidence intervals (CIs) for outcomes of death, critical care admission, noninvasive and invasive ventilation, adjusted for age, sex, ethnicity, socioeconomic deprivation, chronic cardiac, pulmonary and renal disease, and vaccination status.</p
Outcomes of hospitalised immunocompromised patients, compared with immunocompetent patients over the first 4 pandemic waves in the UK.
Odds ratios (ORs) from multivariable logistic regression and 95% confidence intervals (CIs) for outcomes of death, broken down by pandemic wave, adjusted for age, sex, ethnicity, socioeconomic deprivation, comorbidity count (not including the immunocompromising condition), and vaccination status. Wave 1 was 17 January to 31 August 2020; wave 2 was 1 September 2020 to 31 March 2021; wave 3 was 1 April 2021 to 12 December 2021; and wave 4 was 13 December 2021 to 28 February 2022.</p
