Resumen:
IntroductionThe COVID-19 pandemic, especially its early stages, sparked
extensive discussions regarding the potential impact of metabolic and
cardiovascular comorbidities on the severity and fatality of SARS-CoV-2
infection, yielding inconclusive outcomes. In this study, we delve into
the prevalence of metabolic and cardiovascular comorbidities within
COVID-19 patients in Mexico.MethodsEmploying a retrospective
observational study design, we collected data from official databases
encompassing COVID-19 patients admitted to both public and private
hospitals in Mexico City.ResultsOur investigation unveiled a noteworthy
incongruity in the prevalence of metabolic and cardiovascular
comorbidities among COVID-19 patients, with a particular emphasis on
obesity, hypertension, and diabetes. This incongruity manifests as
location-dependent phenomena, where the prevalence of these
comorbidities among COVID-19 patients significantly deviates from the
reported values for the general population in each specific
location.DiscussionThese findings underscore the critical importance of
screening for metabolic and cardiovascular comorbidities in COVID-19
patients and advocate for the necessity of tailored interventions for
this specific population. Furthermore, our study offers insights into
the intricate interplay between COVID-19 and metabolic and
cardiovascular comorbidities, serving as a valuable foundation for
future research endeavors and informing clinical practice.
