Abstract

Background: Severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2), primarily a respiratory virus causing coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pneumonia, induces a hypercoagulable state. Previous studies comparing the prevalence of venous thromboembolism (VTE) in patients with COVID-19 pneumonia and those with influenza pneumonia revealed a higher risk of pulmonary embolism (PE) and deep vein thrombosis (DVT) associated with COVID-19 pneumonia. However, these studies have not adequately accounted for the severity and acuity of the presenting viral pneumonia., Methods: In this retrospective study, we rigorously adjusted for critical illness using a nationally representative dataset to investigate whether COVID-19 pneumonia is independently linked to a higher risk of PE and DVT., Results: After comprehensive multivariate adjustment, our findings demonstrated that patients with COVID-19 pneumonia maintained significantly higher odds of developing acute inpatient PE [adjusted odds ratio (aOR): 2.48; 95% confidence interval (CI): 2.16-2.86; P<0.01] and DVT (aOR: 1.66; 95% CI: 1.41-1.96; P<0.01) during the early pandemic compared to patients with influenza pneumonia. Furthermore, we identified congenital heart disease and malnutrition as novel risk factors for acute PE in COVID-19 patients., Conclusions: Our study suggests that the higher prevalence of acute inpatient PE over DVT in patients with COVID-19 pneumonia may support a "thrombus in situ " mechanism of SARS-CoV-2-mediated pulmonary thrombosis. Consequently, clinicians should maintain a high index of suspicion for PE, even in the absence of DVT, among patients with COVID-19 pneumonia and should follow evidence-based guidelines for diagnosis and management., Competing Interests: Conflicts of Interest: All authors have completed the ICMJE uniform disclosure form (available at https://jtd.amegroups.com/article/view/10.21037/jtd-23-1674/coif).

Abstract

Background: Pneumothorax is a rare but deadly complication in patients who require mechanical ventilation. As with any condition associated with acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS), coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) is known to be associated with pneumothorax. However, in the literature, comparative data on the risk factors for pneumothorax in COVID-19 and other diseases like influenza are limited. The aim of this study is to determine the prevalence and risk factors for pneumothorax in hospitalized COVID-19 patients and compare them with influenza pneumonia patients., Methods: This study is a retrospective analysis of the National Inpatient Sample (NIS) 2020 database cohort. Univariate and multivariate logistic regression were used to identify the prevalence and risk factors for pneumothorax in COVID-19 patients and compared with the risk of pneumothorax in influenza patients., Results: The NIS 2020 database includes 1,608,980 hospitalizations of COVID-19 patients, of which 22,545 [95% confidence interval (CI): 21,491-23,598] (1.4%) developed pneumothorax. On multivariate analysis, factors associated with pneumothorax in COVID-19 included patient age of 41-64 years; male sex; Hispanics, Native Americans, and other races; hospitals with large-bed size; privately owned hospitals; urban teaching hospitals; hospitals in the southern United States (US); stroke; malnutrition; chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD); bronchiectasis; pulmonary fibrosis; liver disease; non-invasive and invasive ventilation; and extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO). Of 184,980 influenza patients, 1,630 (95% CI: 1,448-1,811) (0.88%) developed pneumothorax. The prevalence of pneumothorax was higher (1.4%) in COVID-19 patients compared to patients with influenza pneumonia (0.88%)., Conclusions: COVID-19 patients who develop pneumothorax have a poor prognosis. Several risk factors for the development of pneumothorax were identified. Patients with these risk factors should be prioritized in applying evidence-based guidelines to prevent pneumothorax., Competing Interests: Conflicts of Interest: All authors have completed the ICMJE uniform disclosure form (available at https://jtd.amegroups.com/article/view/10.21037/jtd-23-1454/coif).
