Since the COVID-19 outbreak, preliminary research has shown that some risk-associated conditions increase death and severe complications of the disease, hypertension being one of them. Thus, numerous meta-analyses have been conducted to explore this issue. Therefore, this umbrella review aims to perform a meta-analysis of the meta-analyses to estimate the prevalence and associated risks of hypertension in patients with COVID-19.
PubMed, Scopus, Web of Knowledge, Embase, and Cochrane databases were searched for the published meta-analyses up to January 1, 2022. Google Scholar, citation check, reference check, and Grey literature were also manually searched. A random-effect model approach was used for analysis.
The overall death rate was estimated at 12%. Hypertension was present in 25% of the patients as a comorbid disease. The overall RR for death, disease severity, and the possibility of ICU admission were estimated at 1.79 [1.68-1.89 with 95% CI], 1.74 [1.66-1.83 with 95% CI], and 1.91 [1.48-2.34 with 95% CI], respectively. The meta-regression results showed that being "male" significantly increases the risk of disease severity and ICU admission.
The results indicated that hypertension is a common comorbid disease in hospitalized patients with COVID-19, which significantly increases mortality risk, the severity of the disease, and the probability of ICU admission.

自 COVID-19 爆发以来,初步研究表明,一些与风险相关的状况会增加死亡和疾病的严重并发症,高血压就是其中之一。因此,已经进行了许多荟萃分析来探讨这个问题。因此,本伞式综述旨在对荟萃分析进行荟萃分析,以估计 COVID-19 患者中高血压的患病率和相关风险。
检索了 PubMed、Scopus、Web of Knowledge、Embase 和 Cochrane 数据库中截至 2022 年 1 月 1 日发表的荟萃分析。还手动搜索了 Google Scholar、引文检查、参考文献检查和灰色文献。使用随机效应模型方法进行分析。
总体死亡率估计为 12%。高血压是 25%的患者的合并症。死亡、疾病严重程度和入住 ICU 的可能性的总体 RR 估计值分别为 1.79 [1.68-1.89,95%CI]、1.74 [1.66-1.83,95%CI]和 1.91 [1.48-2.34,95%CI]。荟萃回归结果表明,“男性”显著增加了疾病严重程度和 ICU 入院的风险。
结果表明,高血压是 COVID-19 住院患者常见的合并症,显著增加了死亡率、疾病严重程度和 ICU 入院的概率。
