Association of Coagulation Disorder with the Severity and Mortality of Coronavirus Disease 2019 (COVID-19): A Meta-Analysis
Journal: Journal of Clinical Medicine Research DOI: 10.32629/jcmr.v6i2.4039
Abstract
Background: Coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) , a significant health concern in recent years, is known for its multiple complications. Coagulation disorder is a prevalent complication among patients with COVID-19, but the association of coagulation disorder with the severity and mortality of COVID-19 is still unclear. The object of this study is to ascertain the potential association between coagulation disorder and severity and mortality of COVID-19. Methods: We conducted a systemic literature search of the CNKI, PubMed, Cochrane Library,and Web of Science databases for all relevant studies up to October 1, 2024. All the articles published were retrieved without language restriction. Meta-analysis were performed by Stata 18.0 software. The Newcastle Ottawa scale was used to assess the quality of the included studies. The funnel plot, Egger’s regression asymmetry test, and Begg’s test used to measure the bias of publications. Results: Eighteen studies comprising 2,577 COVID-19 patients were included. Six studies was associated with the mortality of COVID-19, indicating significant differences in DD (SMD: 0.81, 95% confidence interval [CI](0.48-1.14), P=0.02, I2=63.82%); APTT (SMD: 0.37, 95% confidence interval [CI](-0.12-0.86), P=0.14, I2=86.85%); PT (SMD: 0.74, 95% confidence interval [CI](0.34-1.15), P=0.00, I2=70.28%) . Twelve studies was associated with the severity of COVID-19, indicating significant differences in DD (SMD: 1.39, 95% confidence interval [CI](0.93-1.86), P=0.00, I2=93.49%); FIB (SMD: 0.63, 95% confidence interval [CI](0.30-0.96), P=0.00, I2=86.32%); PT (SMD: 0.43, 95% confidence interval [CI](0.12-0.74), P=0.01, I2=82.73%) . Conclusions: The findings confirm that coagulation disorder is associated with severity and mortality of COVID-19. Therefore, it is imperative to monitor blood coagulation indicator and administer treatments in COVID-19 to reduce the severity and mortality.
