Key result
Male gender (OR 1.13), elderly age (OR 2.57), white race (OR 1.71), and multiple comorbidities (OR 1.70) were associated with higher mortality in COVID-19 patients with cardiovascular disease.
Why the study?
The study was conducted to analyze the factors associated with mortality in patients with cardiovascular disease affected by COVID-19.
Cross-Sectional
Odds Ratio: 2.57
p-value: p=0.000
In patients with cardiovascular disease and COVID-19, male sex, older age, white race, and multiple comorbidities are associated with increased mortality.
Near-equal sex distribution in CVD-COVID cases suggests no immediate clinical shift; leaves open mortality associations pending longitudinal confirmation.
to analyze the factors associated with mortality in patients with cardiovascular disease affected by Coronavirus Disease-2019. this was a cross-sectional study using data from the monitoring of notifications during the pandemic. The sample included cases with cardiovascular comorbidity and clinical outcomes. The dependent variable was the progression of the case to death. Associations were tested using the binary logistic regression method, using the Odds Ratio. the prevalence was female (50.6%), elderly (71.1%), self-declared non-white (71.0%), with multiple comorbidities associated with cardiovascular disease (60.3%), diabetes being the main one (44.8%). The study suggests that patients who were men (OR 1.13; p = 0.028), elderly (OR 2.57; p = 0.000), self-declared white (OR 1.71; p = 0.000), and had multiple comorbidities (OR 1.70; p = 0.000) were associated with a greater chance of death. the factors associated with a higher chance of death were related to gender, age group, and the presence of comorbidities, showing the vulnerability of this population to infection.

Carvalho et al. (2025) conducted a cross-sectional in Cardiovascular diseases affected by COVID-19. Male gender, elderly age, white race, and multiple comorbidities vs. Reference groups was evaluated on Progression of the case to death (OR 2.57, p=0.000). Male gender (OR 1.13), elderly age (OR 2.57), white race (OR 1.71), and multiple comorbidities (OR 1.70) were associated with higher mortality in COVID-19 patients with cardiovascular disease.
