Dallas [US], July 21 (Ani): According to the new analysis of adults who were treated in hospitals with Covid-19 in Los Angeles between December 2021 and April 2022, high blood pressure more than doubled someone’s risk of hospitalization from Omicron -Variant Covids -19 Infection-Infection-in front of full vaccination including the dose of booster from the COVID-19 vaccine.Even in the absence of other chronic conditions such as type 2 diabetes, kidney disease, or heart failure, high blood pressure, often known as hypertension, continues to have an effect on severe Covid-19 disease.
According to the main authors of this study Joseph E. Ebinger, M.D., M.S., Assistant Professor of Cardiology and Director of Clinical Analysis at the Smidt Heart Institute in Cedars-Sinai Medical Center in Los Angeles, “This finding is important since about half the adults in the US have high blood pressure . “
At the beginning of Pandemi, Covid-19 vaccination helps reduce mortality and some of the worst side symptoms of infection. An observational study in Israel found that the booster dose of the Covid-19 vaccine increasingly reduced the risk of severe disease by 70%. However, some people who have received full doses and booster doses still need to be hospitalized for Covid-19 during the first Omicron variant outbreak.
The Omicron version, which is still the dominant type, was found for the first time in the United States in December 2021, according to the Center for Control and Prevention of U.S. Seven Subvarian Omicron was found in July 2022.Although study groups include participants who have received the entire Covid-19 vaccine series and booster doses, Ebinger and their partners are trying to investigate the features of people who have Covid-19 cases that are severe enough to require treatment in hospitals.
Data reveals that other parents without medical problems that are underly risky, according to Ebinger. Even if someone does not have other significant chronic diseases, Omicron infections are serious enough to need hospitalization can affect adults of all ages, especially if the person has high blood pressure. Not always what we think they are the most risky people. The discovery that they are not the most sick than unexpected sick.
During the omicron surge, between December 2021 and April 2022, in the larger Los Angeles area, 912 adults who have received at least three doses of the MRNA Covid-19 vaccine (both the Pfizer-Biontech or Modern Covid-19 vaccine, which Pfizer-Biontech or Moderna Covid-19, which is approved by Pfizer-Biontech or Moderna Covid-19, which is approved by modern administration of A.S. Food and Medicine Administration and Care for Covid-19 undergoing retrospective cohort studies. Age, sex, race, ethnicity, and clinical data from electronic health records are among the demographic details seen. The presence of chronic medical diseases such as type 2 diabetes, kidney disease, heart attacks, heart failure, and chronic pulmonary obstructive diseases or asthma are examples of critical clinical properties and variables that have been found by researchers.
According to the data, around 16% of 912 people who received three doses of MRNA Covid-19 vaccination need to be treated in hospitals.Inpatient risk is found to increase in old age, high blood pressure, chronic kidney disease, heart attack, heart failure, and intervals between the last immunization and COVID-19 infection.
* Even when they do not have other serious chronic health conditions, people with 2.6 times more high blood pressure are more likely to require treatment at the hospital for severe Covid-19 disease.
* Of the 145 patients who were hospitalized, 125 (86.2%) had high blood pressure.
“We need to increase knowledge and understanding that obtaining three doses of vaccination may not fully protect people from developing severe Covid-19, especially in those who have high blood pressure. In addition, more studies are needed to determine the reasons behind the relationship between high blood pressure and increased opportunities to develop COVID-19 diseases, according to Ebinger.
About how to reduce the risk of a serious Covid-19 infection, good, through a more special vaccine regimen, new treatment, or combination strategy, researchers show additional research is needed. Biological mechanisms that underlie the relationship between severe Covid-19 and high blood pressure are other fields that researchers are believed to need additional research.
These findings may not be generalized because researchers use data from one medical site for retrospective analysis. (Ani)
