“…With regards to racial differences and COVID-19 mortality, 76.9% of the articles (40 out of 52) found a significant association of different races and COVID-19 mortality, whereas 21.2% of the articles (11 out of 52) did not [ 41 , 45 , 47 , 51 , 54 , 55 , 56 , 57 , 65 , 68 , 69 ]. The races compared were between Black and all other race categories (White, Asian, American Indian/Alaska Native, Native Hawaiian/Pacific Islander, and multiple races) [ 51 , 54 ], Black and White [ 65 ], non-Hispanic White, non-Hispanic Black, Hispanic and Asian patients [ 45 , 57 , 77 ], non-Hispanic Black and non-Hispanic White [ 41 , 68 , 69 ], Hispanic and non-Hispanic patients [ 55 , 56 ], Black and Asian [ 47 ], Non-Hispanic Black, Non-Hispanic White, and Hispanic [ 74 ]. Previous studies reported higher COVID-19-related mortality rates in ethnic minorities including, but not limited to, Black, Hispanic, and Asian races when compared to White patients [ 20 , 24 , 27 , 28 , 30 , 32 , 34 , 35 , 37 , 44 , 49 , 59 , 61 , 63 , 64 , 67 ] ( Table 3 ).…”

(1) Current literature on ethnic minorities, comorbidities, and COVID-19 tends to investigate these factors separately, leaving gaps in our understanding about their interactions. Our review seeks to identify a relationship between ethnicity, comorbidities, and severe COVID-19 outcomes (ICU admission and mortality). We hope to enhance our understanding of the various factors that exacerbate COVID-19 severity and mortality in ethnic minorities in Canada and the USA. (2) All articles were received from PubMed, Scopus, CINAHL, and Ovid EMBASE from November 2020 to June 2022. Included articles contain information regarding comorbidities among ethnic minorities in relation to COVID-19 severity and mortality. (3) A total of 59 articles were included that examined various ethnic groups, including Black/African American, Asian, Hispanic, White/Caucasian, and Indigenous people. We found that the most examined comorbidities were diabetes, hypertension, obesity, and chronic kidney disease. A total of 76.9% of the articles (40 out of 52) found a significant association between different races and COVID-19 mortality, whereas 21.2% of the articles (11 out of 52) did not. (4) COVID-19 ICU admissions and mortality affect various ethnic groups differently, with Black patients generally having the most adverse outcomes. These outcomes may also interact with sex and age, though more research is needed assessing these variables together with ethnicity.

Although studies have shown severe Coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) outcomes in patients with pre-existing coronary heart disease (CHD), the prognosis of COVID-19 patients with pre-existing CHD remains uncertain primarily due to the limited number of patients in existing studies. This study aimed to investigate the impacts of pre-existing CHD on the prognosis of COVID-19 patients. Five electronic databases were searched for eligible studies. This article focused on cohort and case-control studies involving the prognosis of COVID-19 patients with pre-existing CHD. The meta-analysis was performed using a random effects model. The odds ratios (ORs) and 95% confidence intervals (CIs) were used as valid indicators. The study was registered in PROSPERO with the identifier: CRD42022352853. A total of 81 studies, involving 157,439 COVID-19 patients, were included. The results showed that COVID-19 patients with pre-existing CHD exhibited an elevated risk of mortality (OR = 2.45; 95%CI: [2.04, 2.94], P < 0.001), severe/critical COVID-19 (OR = 2.57; 95%CI: [1.98, 3.33], P < 0.001), Intensive Care Unit or Coronary Care Unit (ICU/CCU) admission: (OR = 2.75, 95%CI: [1.61, 4.72], P = 0.002), and reduced odds of discharge/recovery (OR = 0.43, 95%CI: [0.28, 0.66], P < 0.001) compared to COVID-19 patients without pre-existing CHD. Subgroup analyses indicated that the prognosis of COVID-19 patients with pre-existing CHD was influenced by publication year, follow-up duration, gender, and hypertension. In conclusion, pre-existing CHD significantly increases the risk of poor prognosis in patients with COVID-19, particularly in those male or hypertensive patients.
