Chronic kidney disease (CKD) is a risk factor for severe coronavirus disease (COVID-19). In Brazil, the disease is the 10th highest cause of death. We evaluated the epidemiological impact of COVID-19 in CDK and non-CDK patients.
Positive patients for severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) from 2020 to 2022 were classified according to the severity of COVID-19 and the numbers of cases and deaths were correlated to each wave of SARS-CoV-2 variants in Brazil.
We compared all variables, and our data show that CDK significantly increased the mortality rate among patients, especially before COVID-19 vaccination, in comparison with non-CKD patients.
CKD patients had a significantly increased mortality rate compared with non-CKD.
慢性肾脏病(CKD)是严重冠状病毒病(COVID-19)的一个危险因素。在巴西,该病是第十大死亡原因。我们评估了 COVID-19 在 CKD 和非 CKD 患者中的流行病学影响。
对 2020 年至 2022 年间严重急性呼吸综合征冠状病毒 2(SARS-CoV-2)呈阳性的患者进行分类,根据 COVID-19 的严重程度以及病例和死亡人数与巴西 SARS-CoV-2 变异株的每一波相关联。
我们比较了所有变量,我们的数据表明,与非 CKD 患者相比,CKD 显著增加了患者的死亡率,尤其是在 COVID-19 疫苗接种之前。
与非 CKD 患者相比,CKD 患者的死亡率显著增加。
