Comorbid burden at ICU admission in COVID-19 compared to sepsis and acute respiratory distress syndrome

Background: Comorbidities are similarly associated with short-term mortality for COVID-19, acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS) and sepsis in intensive care unit (ICU) patients, but their adjusted frequencies at admission are unknown. Thus, we aimed to evaluate the adjusted distribution, reported as odds ratios, of known risk factors (i.e., age, sex and comorbidities) for ICU admission between COVID-19, sepsis and ARDS patients in this nationwide registry-based study.

Methods: In this cohort study, we included adult patients admitted to Swedish ICUs with COVID-19 (n = 7382) during the pandemic and compared them to patients admitted to ICU with sepsis (n = 22,354) or ARDS (n = 2776) during a pre-COVID-19 period. The main outcomes were the adjusted odds for comorbidities, sex, and age in multivariable logistic regression on diagnostic categories in patients admitted to ICU, COVID-19 or sepsis and COVID-19 or ARDS.

Results: We found that most comorbidities, as well as age, had a stronger association with sepsis admission than COVID-19 admission with the exception of male sex, type 2 diabetes mellitus, and asthma that were more strongly associated with COVID-19 admission, while no difference was seen for chronic renal failure and obesity. For COVID-19 and ARDS admission most risk factors were more strongly associated with ARDS admission except for male sex, type 2 diabetes mellitus, chronic renal failure, and obesity which were more strongly associated with COVID-19 admission, whereas hypertension, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease and asthma were not different. Conclusions: Patients admitted to ICU with sepsis or ARDS carry a heavier burden of comorbidity and high age than patients admitted with COVID-19. This is likely caused by a combination of: (1) respiratory failure in COVID-19 being less dependent on comorbidities than in other forms of ARDS, and the cause of critical i llness in other infections causing sepsis and (2) COVID-19 patients being deferred admission in situations where patients with the other syndromes were admitted. © 2024 The Author(s).
