ABSTRACT

OBJECTIVES:

This study aimed to evaluate the comorbidities among severe and non-severe COVID-19 patients in Asian versus non-Asian populations.

DESIGN:

Systemic review and Meta-analysis.

METHODS:

A systematic literature search was conducted using PubMed, Embase, Scopus and the web of science Database up to 24 March 2021. Odds ratios were calculated using a random-effects model.

RESULTS:

We identified 66 studies including 39 Asian and 27 non-Asian studies. This study demonstrated that the proportion of hypertension was significantly higher in severe group than in non-severe group for Asian (OR = 2.46) and non-Asian (OR = 1.60, 95% CI 1.37-1.86, I2  = 84%; p < .00001) patients. Similarly, the proportion of diabetes, cardiovascular disease and chronic kidney disease was significantly higher in severe group than in non-severe group for both Asian and non-Asian studies. We found no statistically significant difference between the severe versus non-severe group for cancer (OR = 1.26) and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (OR = 1.32) among non-Asian patients.
