Abstract

Coronavirus Disease 2019 (COVID-19) is an infectious disease caused by the Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome Coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2). COVID-19 was the leading disease in terms of the highest number of hospital admissions and cause of death at the Tarakan Regional General Hospital (RSUD Tarakan) in 2022. COVID-19 patients who received treatment at the hospital were often individuals with underlying conditions, such as hypertension. Therefore, it is important to conduct research on comorbidities, specifically hypertension, and its relationship to COVID-19 mortality at the RSUD Tarakan’s inpatient in 2022, so the hospital can design spesific care plans for COVID-19 patients with hypertension. This study used a retrospective cohort design with secondary data from the RSUD Tarakan's SIMRS reports. A total of 534 samples met the criteria for analysis. The variables measured included COVID-19 mortality, patient’s age and gender, hypertension, type 2 Diabetes Mellitus (DM), heart failure, Chronic Kidney Disease (CKD), Acute Kidney Injury (AKI), sepsis, and Acute Respiratory Distress Syndrome (ARDS). Analysis was performed using cox proportional hazards regression. The results showed a significant association between hypertension and COVID-19 mortality (aRR= 0.406; 95% CI 0.250-0.659; p-value: 0.000) after controlling for age. This indicates that patients with hypertension were 59.4% less likely to die from COVID-19 compared to those without hypertension. It is important to note that there are other factors that were not considered in this study. Therefore, the researchers suggest conducting further studies which take into account the severity of hypertension and the impact of antihypertensive treatment on COVID-19 mortality.

Bahasa Abstract

Corona Virus Disease 2019 (COVID-19) merupakan suatu penyakit menular yang disebabkan oleh Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome Coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2). COVID-19 merupakan penyakit nomor satu dalam daftar kasus terbanyak dirawat inap sekaligus penyebab kematian tertinggi di Rumah Sakit Umum Daerah (RSUD) Tarakan pada tahun 2022. Pasien COVID-19 yang menjalani perawatan RS merupakan orang memiliki penyakit penyerta, seperti hipertensi. Oleh karena itu, penting dilakukannya penelitian terkait penyakit penyerta hipertensi dan hubungannya dengan kematian pasien COVID-19 di Layanan Rawat Inap RSUD Tarakan Tahun 2022 sehingga RS dapat menentukan tatalaksana khusus bagi pasien COVID-19 dengan hipertensi. Penelitian ini menggunakan desain kohort retrospektif dengan data sekunder dari laporan SIMRS RSUD Tarakan. Jumlah sampel yang memenuhi kriteria untuk dianalisis sebanyak 534. Variabel yang diukur adalah kematian pasien COVID-19, usia dan jenis kelamin pasien, hipertensi, Diabetes Melitus (DM) tipe 2, gagal jantung, Penyakit Ginjal Kronik (PGK), Penyakit Ginjal Akut (PGA), sepsis, dan Acute Respiratoru Distress Syndrome (ARDS). Analisis dilakukan dengan cox proportional hazards regression. Hasil yang didapatkan menunjukkan terdapat hubungan antara hipertensi dan kematian pasien COVID-19 (aRR= 0,406; 95%CI 0,250-0,659; p-value: 0,000) setelah dikontrol variabel usia. Artinya pasien hipertensi berisiko 59,4% lebih rendah untuk mengalami kematian COVID-19 dibandingkan kelompok yang tidak memiliki hipertensi. Hal yang perlu menjadi catatan adalah terdapat faktor lain yang belum diperhitungkan dalam penelitian ini, sehingga peneliti menyarankan untuk dilakukan penelitian mendalam yang memperhitungkan derajat kasus hipertensi dan pengaruh pengobatan antihipertensi dalam kejadian kematian pasien COVID-19.
