Clinical outcomes in COVID-19 among patients with hypertension in the Philippine CORONA Study.
Article in European journal of medical research, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 papers.
What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
objectiveTo describe the association between hypertension and clinical outcomes in a cohort of patients with coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19).
designRetrospective cohort study.
settingThirty-seven (37) hospitals in the Philippines. PATIENTS: 10,881 patients admitted for COVID-19 from February to December 2020. MEASUREMENTS AND MAIN
resultsAmong the 10,881 patients included in the Philippine CORONA Study, 3647 (33.5%) had hypertension. On regression analysis adjusted for confounders (age group, sex, smoking history, diabetes, chronic cardiac disease, chronic kidney disease, chronic respiratory disease, chronic neurologic disease, chronic liver disease, HIV/AIDS, and malignancy), patients with hypertension had significantly greater odds of in-hospital mortality (OR 1.33, 95% CI 1.17-1.52), respiratory failure (OR 1.99, 95% CI 1.75-2.28), ICU admission (OR 2.16, 95% CI 1.90-2.45) and severe/critical disease (OR 1.57, 95% CI 1.41-1.75), compared to patients without hypertension. The time-to-event analysis with confounder adjustment also showed that hypertension was significantly associated with shorter time-to-event outcomes of in-hospital mortality (HR 1.13, 95% CI 1.01-1.26), respiratory failure (HR 1.86, 95% CI 1.65-2.10), and ICU admission (HR 1.99, 95% CI 1.76-2.23).
conclusionsOur analysis of nationwide data confirmed previous findings that hypertension is an independent risk factor for worse clinical outcomes among patients hospitalized for COVID-19, with increased odds of in-hospital mortality, respiratory failure, ICU admission, and severe/critical COVID-19. More specific studies should be done to elucidate the impact of hypertension characteristics, such as chronicity, severity, drug therapy, and level of control on these clinical outcomes.
