Most Severe COVID Cases Tied to Four Conditions By Sue Hughes
Feb. 25, 2021 The majority of COVID-19 hospitalizations in the United States are attributable to four pre-existing conditions, a new study suggests.
The authors estimate that among the 906,849 total COVID-19 hospitalizations of U.S. adults as of November, 30% were related to obesity, 26% to high blood pressure, 21% to diabetes, and 12% to heart failure.
From the data, the investigators estimate that almost two thirds (63.5%) of the hospitalizations were due to these conditions and that those hospitalization might not have been needed if the patients did not have one of those conditions.
They estimate that a 10% reduction in these four conditions could have prevented 11.1% of COVID-19 hospitalizations.
