摘要
背景:新型冠状病毒病2019 (COVID-19)与危及生命的并发症有关。在大多数危重患者中也报告了与COVID-19相关的心电图变化。方法:在本研究中,我们旨在探讨碎片化QRS (fQRS)在COVID-19住院患者中的患病率及其预后价值。此外,我们对文献进行了系统回顾和荟萃分析,以评估fQRS对COVID-19患者预后的影响。结果:共310例患者,平均年龄65.7±14.5岁,随访3个月,其中139例(44.8%)心电图出现fQRS。住院死亡率(8.8% vs. 8.6%)、随访期间再住院率(13.7% vs. 12.3%)和90天死亡率(6.5% vs. 5.3%)在有和没有fQRS的患者之间分别具有可比性。在meta分析中,除了我们的研究外,还有9项研究报告了结果,共2928例患者,平均年龄53.8岁,其中1431例(48.9%)为男性。fQRS为0.31(95%可信区间[CI], 0.23-0.38;I2 = 95.21%)。此外,5项研究报告的住院死亡率的合并比例为0.31 (95% CI, 0.12-0.51;I2 = 98.36)。有fQRS的患者住院死亡率高于无fQRS的患者(优势比,2.33;95% ci, 1.52-3.58;P = 0.0001;I2 = 74%)。结论:2019冠状病毒病患者心电图fQRS发生率较高,meta分析显示其与住院患者预后较差相关。
Prognostic Value of Fragmented QRS on Admission Electrocardiogram among Patients Hospitalized with COVID-19: A Single-Center Report, Systematic Review, and Meta-Analysis.
Background: The novel coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) is associated with life-threatening complications. Electrocardiogram (ECG) changes associated with COVID-19 have also been reported in the majority of critically ill patients.
Methods: In this study, we aimed to investigate the prevalence of fragmented QRS (fQRS) and its prognostic value in hospitalized patients with COVID-19. In addition, we performed a systematic review and meta-analysis of the literature to evaluate the effect of fQRS on the outcomes of COVID-19 patients.
Results: A total of 310 patients with a mean age of 65.7 ± 14.5 years were followed up for 3 months, of whom 139 (44.8%) had fQRS on their ECGs. The rates of in-hospital mortality (8.8% vs. 8.6%), rehospitalization during follow- up (13.7% vs. 12.3%), and 90-day mortality (6.5% vs. 5.3%) were comparable between the patients with and without fQRS, respectively. In the meta-analysis, 9 studies in addition to our study reported outcomes, with a total of 2928 patients with a mean age of 53.8 years, and 1431 (48.9%) were males. The rate of fQRS was 0.31 (95% confidence interval [CI], 0.23-0.38; I2 = 95.21%). In addition, the pooled proportion of in-hospital mortality reported by 5 studies was 0.31 (95% CI, 0.12-0.51; I2 = 98.36). The rate of in-hospital mortality was higher among patients with fQRS compared to those without fQRS (odds ratio, 2.33; 95% CI, 1.52-3.58; p = 0.0001; I2 = 74%).
Conclusions: The rate of fQRS on ECG was relatively high in COVID-19 patients, and according to the meta-analysis, it was associated with worse outcomes in hospitalized COVID-19 patients.
