| Core Tip |
High-risk comorbid conditions significantly increase the mortality linked to coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19). In this large National Inpatient Sample-based retrospective cohort study, we aimed to evaluate the specific clinical impact of alcohol-associated cirrhosis (AC) on patients hospitalized with COVID-19. We analyzed the patient outcomes based on comorbidities, mechanical ventilation, intensive care unit admission, and mortality predictors. Our findings show that AC does not increase mortality in patients hospitalized with COVID-19. Pertinently, there is an increased association between inpatient complications and COVID-19 patients with AC compared to non-AC. Predictors of mortality included advanced age, cardiac arrhythmias, coagulopathy, protein-calorie malnutrition, fluid and electrolyte disorders, septic shock, and upper extremity venous thromboembolism. |
