This study aimed to compare the clinical risks and outcomes of COVID-19 and influenza.
The search for relevant articles was conducted using both a database search method and a manual search, which involved searching through the reference lists of articles related to the topic for additional studies. The Quality assessment was carried out using the Newcastle Ottawa tool, and the data analysis was conducted using the Review Manager Software (RevMan 5.4.1).
The meta-analysis results indicated that COVID-19 patients had similar lengths of hospital stays (SMD: -0.25; 95% CI: -0.60-0.11; =0.17). However, COVID-19 patients had significantly higher mortality rates (RR: 0.28; 95% CI: 0.21-0.37; <0.0001), in-hospital complications (RR: 0.57; 95% CI: 0.50-0.65; <0.00001), intensive care unit (ICU) admissions (OR: 0.48; 95% CI: 0.37-0.61; <0.00001), length of ICU stay (SMD: -0.45; 95% CI: -0.83-0.06; =0.02), and mechanical ventilation use (OR: 0.36; 95% CI: 0.28-0.46; <0.00001).
The findings suggested that COVID-19 was more severe than influenza. Therefore, "flu-like" symptoms should not be dismissed without a clear diagnosis, especially during the winter when influenza is more prevalent.
本研究旨在比较新型冠状病毒肺炎(COVID-19)和流感的临床风险及结局。
采用数据库检索和手工检索相结合的方式查找相关文章,其中手工检索包括查阅与该主题相关文章的参考文献列表以获取更多研究。使用纽卡斯尔-渥太华工具进行质量评估,并使用Review Manager软件(RevMan 5.4.1)进行数据分析。
荟萃分析结果表明,COVID-19患者的住院时间相似(标准化均数差:-0.25;95%置信区间:-0.60至0.11;P = 0.17)。然而,COVID-19患者的死亡率显著更高(风险比:0.28;95%置信区间:0.21至0.37;P < 0.0001)、院内并发症发生率(风险比:0.57;95%置信区间:0.50至0.65;P < 0.00001)、入住重症监护病房(ICU)的比例(比值比:0.48;95%置信区间:0.37至0.61;P < 0.00001)、ICU住院时间(标准化均数差:-0.45;95%置信区间:-0.83至0.06;P = 0.02)以及机械通气使用率(比值比:0.36;95%置信区间:0.28至0.46;P < 0.00001)。
研究结果表明,COVID-19比流感更严重。因此,在未明确诊断的情况下,不应忽视“流感样”症状,尤其是在流感更流行的冬季。
