Abstract
Background: We attempted to investigate the change in mortality of intubated patients with coronavirus disease (COVID-19) from first to subsequent waves across several countries.
Methods: We pre-registered our meta-analysis with PROSPERO [Anonymized]. We searched PubMed, Scopus, and gray literature for observational studies reporting data on all-cause mortality of intubated patients with COVID-19 recruited both during first and subsequent waves of the pandemic. We considered studies published after 31 August 2020 up to 12 July 2021. The primary outcome of the meta-analysis was all-cause mortality. We used a random effects model to calculate pooled risk ratio (RR) and 95% confidence intervals (CI).
Results: By incorporating data of 363,660 patients from 43 countries included in 28 studies, we found that all-cause mortality of intubated patients with COVID-19 increased from first to subsequent waves (from 62.2% to 72.6%; RR 0.90, 95% CI 0.85-0.94, p < 0.00001). This finding was independent of the geo-economic variation of the included studies and persisted in several pre-specified subgroup and sensitivity analyses.
Conclusions: The robust finding of this meta-analysis suggests that mortality of intubated patients with COVID-19 did not improve over time. Future research should target this group of patients to further optimize their management.
背景:我们试图调查几个国家的冠状病毒病(COVID-19)插管患者从第一波到随后的死亡率变化。方法:我们在PROSPERO[匿名]预先注册了meta分析。我们检索了PubMed、Scopus和灰色文献,寻找报告在大流行的第一波和随后的浪潮中招募的COVID-19插管患者全因死亡率数据的观察性研究。我们考虑了2020年8月31日至2021年7月12日期间发表的研究。荟萃分析的主要结果是全因死亡率。我们使用随机效应模型计算合并风险比(RR)和95%置信区间(CI)。结果:通过纳入28项研究中来自43个国家的363,660例患者的数据,我们发现COVID-19插管患者的全因死亡率从第一波增加到随后的波(从62.2%增加到72.6%;RR 0.90, 95% CI 0.85-0.94, p < 0.00001)。这一发现独立于纳入研究的地理经济差异,并在几个预先指定的亚组和敏感性分析中持续存在。结论:这项荟萃分析的有力发现表明,COVID-19插管患者的死亡率并没有随着时间的推移而改善。未来的研究应针对这组患者进一步优化其管理。
