Summary
This study in the International Journal of Infectious Diseases aimed to identify the highest-risk subgroups for Covid-19 and Long Covid, particularly relating to influenza and cardiovascular disease (CVD). The authors looked at the records of patients with Covid-19 and Long Covid in linked electronic health records for England. They compared all-cause hospitalisation and mortality by prior CVD, high CV risk, vaccination status (Covid-19/influenza) and CVD drugs, to investigate the impact of vaccination and CVD prevention. The results of the study showed that prior CVD and high CV risk are associated with increased hospitalisation and mortality in Covid-19 and Long Covid. The authors call for targeted Covid-19 vaccination and CVD prevention to be prioritised.
