Abstract
Coronary heart disease (CHD) is an underlying cardiac condition contributing to increased COVID-19 mortality and morbidity which can be assessed by coronary artery calcification (CAC). The goal of this study was to find out if there were potential links between CAC, clinical findings, severity of COVID-19, and in-hospital outcomes. This retrospective study evaluated 551 suspected patients admitted to teaching hospitals of the Babol University of Medical Sciences, Babol, Iran, from March to October 2021. Data included previous diseases, comorbidities, clinical examinations, routine laboratory tests, demographic characteristics, duration of hospitalization, , and number of days under ventilation were recorded in a checklist. Our findings showed a significant relationship between CAC and in-hospital mortality of COVID-19 patients. CAC was also significantly related to age, duration of hospitalization, pulse rate, maximum blood pressure, ESR, BUN, neutrophil count, WBC count, and O2 saturation. However, it was not associated with the COVID-19 severity index, and logistic regression tests didn’t find a significant value of CAC to predict in-hospital mortality |
