Previous studies have identified dementia as a risk factor for death from coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19). However, it is unclear whether Alzheimer's disease (AD) is an independent risk factor for COVID-19 case fatality rate. In a retrospective cohort study, we identified 387,841 COVID-19 patients through TriNetX. After adjusting for demographics and comorbidities, we found that AD patients had higher odds of dying from COVID-19 compared to patients without AD (Odds Ratio: 1.20, 95%confidence interval: 1.09-1.32, p < 0.001). Interestingly, we did not observe increased mortality from COVID-19 among patients with vascular dementia. These data are relevant to the evolving COVID-19 pandemic.
先前的研究已经确定痴呆是 2019 年冠状病毒病(COVID-19)死亡的一个风险因素。然而,尚不清楚阿尔茨海默病(AD)是否是 COVID-19 病死率的一个独立风险因素。在一项回顾性队列研究中,我们通过 TriNetX 确定了 387841 例 COVID-19 患者。在调整了人口统计学和合并症后,我们发现与没有 AD 的患者相比,AD 患者死于 COVID-19 的几率更高(比值比:1.20,95%置信区间:1.09-1.32,p<0.001)。有趣的是,我们没有观察到血管性痴呆患者 COVID-19 死亡率的增加。这些数据与不断演变的 COVID-19 大流行有关。
