Is hypertension without any other comorbidities an independent predictor for COVID-19 severity and mortality?

Early reports from China found that both established cardiovascular disease and its risk factors, such as hypertension and diabetes mellitus, were common pre-existing conditions in patients with COVID- 19. The high prevalence of these comorbidities was confirmed in subsequent studies. Remarkably, th...

description Early reports from China found that both established cardiovascular disease and its risk factors, such as hypertension and diabetes mellitus, were common pre-existing conditions in patients with COVID- 19. The high prevalence of these comorbidities was confirmed in subsequent studies. Remarkably, the prevalence of these pre-existing conditions was higher in critically ill patients and in those who died. In the analysis performed by Wu and McGoogan, including 44 672 patients with confirmed COVID-19, the overall case fatality rate was 2.3%, and increased with comorbid conditions: 10.5% for cardiovascular disease, 7.3% for diabetes, and 6% for hypertension. The connections between cardiovascular disease, hypertension, age, and vascular aging are complex. The association between hypertension and COVID-19 mortality or severity could be explained in part by the increased age and higher prevalence of cardiovascular disease, both well-known risk factors for mortality in critical patients. Therefore, in order to identify independent predictors of COVID-19 mortality or severity, models should be properly adjusted to exclude potential confounding effects.
