Brief Summary:

The present retrospective and prospective observational study aims at evaluate the clinical predictors of myocardial injury in patients hospitalized for COVID-19 infection since the introduction of vaccines that could allow the development of predictive models as well as help clinicians in the early assessment of the risk of myocardial injury and the prevention of the associated unfavourable outcomes.

Furthermore, this study will characterize the cardiovascular outcomes in the post-acute COVID-19 phase, and it will evaluate for the first time the long-term clinical outcomes of patients who experienced myocardial injury, possibly paving the way for the implementation of specific therapies aiming to reduce the cardiovascular risk and the long- term sequelae of COVID-19.

Group/Cohort Intervention/treatment
Miocardial injury
Patients hospitalized at Policlinico Universitario A. Gemelli IRCSS since March 1, 2021, with a diagnosis of SARS-CoV-2 infection (≥1 positive nasopharyngeal swab) and at least one value of high-sensitivity cardiac troponin I (hs-cTnI) >99th percentile upper reference limit measured during the index hospitalization.
Other: DATA EXTRACTION

For all patients enrolled Data Mart COVID-19 developed within Generator Real World will be used to automatically extract both structured and unstructured data from hospital databases of patients infected from SARS-CoV-2.The specific data that which will be exploited are:

  • Demographics data;
  • Patient comorbidities, vital signs and symptoms at the time of admission;
  • Laboratory analysis;
  • In-hospital complications (e.g.: need for non-invasive or invasive ventilation, access to intensive care unit, length of hospitalization, use of glucocorticoids or antibiotics, death);
  • Blood gas exchange information;
  • Radiological reports;
  • Medications at the time of admission, during hospitalization and at the time of discharge;
  • Vaccination status.

Other: FOLLOW-UP
All patients will undergo a clinical follow-up by telephonic interview and/or clinical visit at 12 months from hospital discharge, during which the incidence of MACE, dysrhythmias, inflammatory heart disease and/or thrombotic disorders (both as incidence of the composite and as incidence of each individual components) in the past months will be investigated.

No Miocardial injury

Primary Outcome Measures :
  1. To identify the clinical predictors of myocardial injury [ Time Frame: Up to 30 days ]
    Th occurence of clinical predictors of myocardial injury during the index hospitalization (defined as at least one value of hs-cTnI >99th percentile upper reference limit) will be evaluated using univariable and multivariable logistic regression models. Results will be expressed as odds ratio (OR) with 95% confidence interval (CI).


Secondary Outcome Measures :
  1. To assess the correlation between myocardial injury and in-hospital complications [ Time Frame: Up to 30 days ]
    The occurrence of myocardial injury during the index hospitalization for COVID-19 infection will be correlated with in-hospital complications (defined as the composite of the need for non-invasive or invasive ventilation, access to intensive care unit, length of hospitalization, use of glucocorticoids or antibiotics, and death) using univariable and multivariable logistic regression analysis.

  2. To assess if myocardial injury can predict MACE at 1-year follow-up [ Time Frame: 1 year ]
    The occurence of myocardial injury during the index hospitalization for COVID-19 infection will be included in a prediction model and correlated with MACE (defined as the composite of cardiovascular death, ischemic heart disease [acute or chronic coronary syndromes], stroke/transient ischemic attack [TIA] and hospitalization for heart failure), dysrhythmias, inflammatory heart disease and/or thrombotic disorders at 12-months follow-up using uni- and multivariable interaction proportional hazard Cox regression models.
