    Abstract: Introduction: Obesity is one of the most frequent comorbidities among COVID-19 patients. Although previous studies have shown higher body mass index (BMI) is associated with higher mortality, steroids as the current standard treatment for moderate to severe COVID-19 infection were not applied in most patients in these studies. Hypothesis: We hypothesized that patients with higher BMI still have higher mortality even on steroids. Methods: We conducted a retrospective study of 4,587 hospitalized patients with COVID-19 who received corticosteroids between March 1 st , 2020, and March 30 th , 2021. We divided patients into 6 groups by BMI[MOU1] (less 18.5, 18.5-25, 25-30, 30-35, 35-40, 40 or greater, kg/m 2 ) and investigated in-hospital mortality as the primary outcome, in-hospital mortality among severe COVID-19 patients which was defined as requiring intensive care unit or endotracheal intubation as a subgroup analysis, and acute kidney injury (AKI) incidence rate as the secondary outcome. Results: Patients with higher BMI were younger and more likely to have a history of asthma, obstructive sleep apnea, diabetes, and less likely to have malignancies. The smooth spline curve showed J curve association of BMI with risk adjusted in-hospital mortality with flexion point at BMI between 25 and 30 kg/m 2 (Figure 1). Compared to overweight (25≤BMI 〈 30 kg/m 2 ) patients, class III obesity (BMI 〉 40 kg/m 2 ) was associated with higher risk adjusted in-hospital mortality overall (Table 1) as well as among patients with severe COVID-19 (OR [95% CI]: 3.21 [1.86-5.66] , P 〈 0.001). Class III obesity was also associated with a higher risk adjusted incidence of AKI (OR [95% CI]: 1.52 [1.06-2.18] , P=0.024) compared to overweight patients. Conclusions: Class III obesity was associated with higher in-hospital mortality and AKI incidence rate in COVID-19 patients with steroids treatment.

    Abstract: Background: The association of B-type natriuretic peptide (BNP) and in-hospital outcomes of Coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) remains unknown. Our aim of this study was to investigate the independent predictors for mortality, especially cardiac history and serial assessment of cardiac markers (B-type natriuretic peptide [BNP] and troponin I). Methods: We obtained the medical records for hospitalized patients with laboratory confirmed COVID-19 from the Mount Sinai Health System. 929 patients with BNP data were divided into 3 groups, BNP ≤ 20 pg/mL, 20 pg/mL 〈 BNP ≤ 100, and 100 pg/mL 〈 BNP. The Cox proportional hazard model was constructed with the three BNP groups and troponin-I, d-dimer and C-reactive protein at admission and peak level. Results: Each BNP category was divided almost equally (BNP ≤ 20 pg/mL (29.9%, N=278), 20 〈 BNP ≤ 100 pg/mL (35.5%, N= 330), 100 〈 BNP pg/mL (34.6%, N=321). Patients with high BNP are older and have more co-morbidity including cardiac disease and chronic kidney disease. Patients with high BNP had higher d-dimer, troponin-I than control group. At 4 weeks, death rates were significantly different among the 3 groups (BNP ≤ 20 pg/mL versus 20 〈 BNP ≤ 100 pg/mL versus 100 〈 BNP pg/mL: 4.7% versus 13.6% versus 18.4%, P 〈 0.0001). After the Cox model adjustments were done with the initial lab, troponin-I ( 〉 0.030 ng/mL) and d-dimer were found to be independent predictors for in-hospital mortality (troponin-I: HR [95%CI]: 1.72 [1.23-2.41] , P=0.002), d-dimer: 1.03 [1.00-1.05], P=0.025), but not BNP. Notably, the Cox model with peak lab had better predictability of in-hospital mortality than those with lab at admission. Conclusions: Although higher BNP showed higher in-hospital mortality with unadjusted data with hospitalized COVID-19, BNP was not an independent predictor for in-hospital mortality after adjustment. Serial lab measurements could provide better predictability for in-hospital mortality.

    Abstract: Background: Bleeding events can be critical in hospitalized patients with COVID-19, especially those with aggressive anticoagulation therapy. Objective: We aimed to investigate whether hemoglobin drop associated with increased risk of acute kidney injury (AKI) and in-hospital mortality among patients with COVID-19. Methods: This retrospective study was conducted by review of the medical records of 6,683 patients with laboratory confirmed COVID-19 hospitalized in the Mount Sinai Health system between March 1 st , 2020 and March 30 th 2021. We compared patients with and without hemoglobin drop 〉 3g/dL during hospitalization within a week after admissions, using inverse probability treatment weighted analysis (IPTW). Outcomes of interest were in-hospital mortality and AKI which was defined as increased of creatine 1.5 times or 0.3mg/dL. Results: Of the 6,683 patients admitted due to COVID-19, 750 (11.2%) presented with a marked hemoglobin drop. Patients with hemoglobin drop were more likely to receive therapeutic anticoagulation within two days after admissions. Patients with hemoglobin drop had higher crude in-hospital mortality (40.8% versus 20.0%, P 〈 0.001) as well as AKI (51.4% versus 23.9%, P 〈 0.001) compared to those without. IPTW analysis showed that hemoglobin drop was associated with higher in-hospital mortality compared to those without (odds ratio (OR) [95% confidential interval (CI)]: 2.21 [1.54-2.88] , P 〈 0.001) as well as AKI (OR [95% CI]: 2.79 [2.08-3.73] , P 〈 0.001). Finally, the smooth spline curve showed the association of hemoglobin drop and adjusted odds ratio for in-hospital mortality, which reflected the association of hemoglobin drop and in-hospital mortality (Figure). Conclusions: Hemoglobin drop during COVID-19 related hospitalizations was associated with a higher risk of AKI and in-hospital mortality. Figure Legends: Smooth spline curve of the association of hemoglobin drop and adjusted odds ratio of in-hospital mortality.

    Abstract: Introduction: Statins are frequently prescribed for patients with hypertension, dyslipidemia and diabetes mellitus. These comorbidities are highly prevalent in COVID-19 patients. Statin’s beneficial effect on mortalities in COVID-19 infection has been reported in several studies, but still inconclusive. Hypothesis: The inconclusive study results in association of satin use and COVID-19 can be resulted from variable timing of statins used among the studies. Our aim was to investigate whether consistent use of statins before and during hospitalization was effective to decrease the mortality due to COVID-19. Methods: We conducted a retrospective study among 6,095 patients with COVID-19 hospitalized in New York City between March 1st 2020 and May 7th 2021. Patients were stratified into two groups: statins use prior or during hospitalization (N=2,423) versus no statins (N=3,672). We evaluated in-hospital mortality as a primary outcome using propensity score matching and inverse probability treatment weighted (IPTW) analysis. In addition, we compared continuous use of statins (N=1,108) versus no statins. Results: Statins use prior or during hospitalization group were older (70.8±12.7 versus 59.2±18.2, P 〈 0.001) and had more comorbidities compared to no statins group. After matching by propensity score (1,790 pairs), there were no significant differences in in-hospital mortality between patients with statins versus those without (28.9% versus 31.0%, P=0.19, odds ratio (OR) [95% confidence interval (CI)]: 0.91 [0.79-1.05] ). This result was confirmed using IPTW analysis (OR [95% CI]: 0.96 [0.81-1.12] , P=0.53). As the additional analysis comparing continuous use of statins versus no statins group, in-hospital mortality was significantly lower in continuous use of statins compared to no statins group (26.3% versus 34.5%, P 〈 0.001, OR [95% CI]: 0.68 [0.55-0.82] ) after matching by propensity score (944 pairs). IPTW analysis showed the similar result (OR [95% CI]: 0.77 [0.64-0.94] , P=0.009). Conclusions: Use of statins prior or during hospitalization was not associated with a decreased risk of in-hospital mortality, however, continuous use of statins might have potential benefit of a decreased risk of in-hospital mortality due to COVID-19.

    Abstract: Introduction: Previous observational and randomized studies suggested potential benefit of therapeutic anticoagulation during hospitalization, but this treatment remains controversial Objective: We aimed to investigate the association of prophylactic and therapeutic anticoagulation with mortality for patients with COVID-19 who were treated with steroids and Remdesivir, which is the current standard treatments. Methods: This retrospective study was conducted by review of the electronic medical records for 9,565 patients with laboratory confirmed COVID-19 hospitalized in the Mount Sinai Health system between March 1 st 2020 and March 30 th 2021. The primary outcome of interest was the in-hospital mortality. Acute kidney injury was defined as any increase of creatinine by more than 0.3mg/dL or to more than 1.5 times baseline. A propensity score analysis (matching and weighting by inverse probability treatment weights) and multiple imputation was performed. Results: Of the 1,443 patients, 420 (29.1%) had therapeutic anticoagulation therapy. The 1,023 (70.9%) patients with prophylactic anticoagulation were older and had more comorbidities. After matching by propensity score (N=334 in each group), in-hospital mortality was not significantly different between patients with therapeutic anticoagulation and those with prophylactic anticoagulation (26.9% vs. 22.8%, P=0.24). Furthermore, IPTW and multiple imputation for missing data did not change the result (therapeutic versus prophylactic; odds ratio [95% confidential interval]: 1.14 [0.83-1.59] , P=0.40]; 1.20 [0.84-1.73] , P=0.31, respectively). Interestingly, patients with therapeutic anticoagulation had higher rate of acute kidney injury as compared to patients with prophylactic anticoagulation (26.6% vs. 16.8%, P=0.003). Conclusions: In conclusion, prophylactic versus therapeutic anticoagulation showed similar in-hospital mortality of COVID-19 patients treated with steroids and remdesivir, but therapeutic anticoagulation increased the risk of acute kidney injury compared to prophylactic anticoagulation.
