Impact of cerebrovascular and cardiovascular diseases on mortality and severity of COVID-19-systematic review, meta-analysis, and meta-regression.

TLDR
Cerebrovascular and cardiovascular diseases were associated with increased risk for poor outcome in COVID-19 and meta-regression demonstrated that the association was not influenced by gender, age, hypertension, diabetes, and respiratory comorbidities.
Abstract
Background We conducted a systematic review and meta-analysis to evaluate the latest evidence on the association between cerebrovascular, and cardiovascular diseases and poor outcome in patients with Coronavirus Disease 2019 (COVID-19) pneumonia. Methods A comprehensive systematic literature search was performed using PubMed, SCOPUS, EuropePMC, and Cochrane Central Database. The outcome of interest was composite poor outcome that comprised of mortality and severe COVID-19. Results A total of 4448 patients were obtained from 16 studies. Cerebrovascular disease was associated with an increased composite poor outcome (RR 2.04 [1.43,2.91], p Conclusion Cerebrovascular and cardiovascular diseases were associated with an increased risk for poor outcome in patients with COVID-19.

Acute Cerebrovascular Disease Following COVID-19: A Single Center, Retrospective, Observational Study

TL;DR: The findings suggest that older patients with risk factors are more likely to develop CVD and the development of CVD is an important negative prognostic factor which requires further study to identify optimal management strategy to combat the COVID-19 outbreak.

Association of cardiovascular disease and 10 other pre-existing comorbidities with COVID-19 mortality: A systematic review and meta-analysis.

TL;DR: Patients with COVID-19 with cardiovascular disease, hypertension, diabetes, congestive heart failure, chronic kidney disease and cancer have a greater risk of mortality compared to patients with CO VID-19 without these comorbidities, and tailored infection prevention and treatment strategies targeting this high-risk population might improve survival.

Stroke in COVID-19: A systematic review and meta-analysis.

TL;DR: Acute cerebrovascular diseases are not uncommon in patients with COVID-19, especially in those whom are severely infected and have pre-existing vascular risk factors, and the pattern of large vessel occlusion and multi-territory infarcts suggests that cerebral thrombosis and/or thromboembolism could be possible causative pathways for the disease.

Epidemiological and clinical characteristics of 99 cases of 2019 novel coronavirus pneumonia in Wuhan, China: a descriptive study

TL;DR: Characteristics of patients who died were in line with the MuLBSTA score, an early warning model for predicting mortality in viral pneumonia, and further investigation is needed to explore the applicability of the Mu LBSTA scores in predicting the risk of mortality in 2019-nCoV infection.
