Growing evidence suggests that some coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) survivors experience a wide range of long-term postacute sequelae. We examined the postacute risk and burden of new-incident cardiovascular, cerebrovascular, and other thrombotic complications after severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) infection in a highly vaccinated multiethnic Southeast Asian population, during Delta predominance.
This cohort study used national testing and healthcare claims databases in Singapore to build a cohort of individuals who had a positive SARS-CoV-2 test between 1 September and 30 November 2021 when Delta predominated community transmission. Concurrently, we constructed a test-negative control group by enrolling individuals between 13 April 2020 and 31 December 2022 with no evidence of SARS-CoV-2 infection. Participants in both groups were followed up for a median of 300 days. We estimated risks of new-incident cardiovascular, cerebrovascular, and other thrombotic complications using doubly robust competing-risks survival analysis. Risks were reported using 2 measures: hazard ratio (HR) and excess burden (EB) with 95% confidence intervals.
We included 106 012 infected cases and 1 684 085 test-negative controls. Compared with the control group, individuals with COVID-19 exhibited increased risk (HR, 1.157 [1.069-1.252]) and excess burden (EB, 0.70 [.53-.88]) of new-incident cardiovascular and cerebrovascular complications. Risks decreased in a graded fashion for fully vaccinated (HR, 1.11 [1.02-1.22]) and boosted (HR, 1.10 [.92-1.32]) individuals. Conversely, risks and burdens of subsequent cardiovascular/cerebrovascular complications increased for hospitalized and severe COVID-19 cases (compared to nonhospitalized cases).
Increased risks and excess burdens of new-incident cardiovascular/cerebrovascular complications were reported among infected individuals; risks can be attenuated with vaccination and boosting.
越来越多的证据表明,一些2019冠状病毒病(COVID-19)幸存者会经历一系列广泛的长期急性后遗症。我们在Delta毒株占主导的时期,对一个接种疫苗比例高的多民族东南亚人群进行了研究,以调查严重急性呼吸综合征冠状病毒2(SARS-CoV-2)感染后新发生的心血管、脑血管和其他血栓形成并发症的急性后风险和负担。
这项队列研究利用新加坡的国家检测和医疗保健索赔数据库,建立了一个在2021年9月1日至11月30日Delta毒株主导社区传播期间SARS-CoV-2检测呈阳性的个体队列。同时,我们通过纳入2020年4月13日至2022年12月31日期间没有SARS-CoV-2感染证据的个体,构建了一个检测阴性对照组。两组参与者的中位随访时间为300天。我们使用双重稳健竞争风险生存分析来估计新发生的心血管、脑血管和其他血栓形成并发症的风险。风险用两种指标报告:风险比(HR)和超额负担(EB),并给出95%置信区间。
我们纳入了106012例感染病例和1684085例检测阴性对照。与对照组相比,COVID-19患者新发生心血管和脑血管并发症的风险(HR,1.157[1.069-1.252])和超额负担(EB,0.70[0.53-0.88])增加。对于完全接种疫苗(HR,1.11[1.02-1.22])和接种加强针(HR,1.10[0.92-1.32])的个体,风险呈分级下降。相反,住院和重症COVID-19病例(与非住院病例相比)随后发生心血管/脑血管并发症的风险和负担增加。
在感染个体中报告了新发生心血管/脑血管并发症的风险和超额负担增加;接种疫苗和加强针可降低风险。
