Prevalence of arrhythmias and associated factors among COVID-19 patients in the intensive care unit at COVID-19 treatment centers, Addis Ababa, Ethiopia, 2022. A cross-sectional study

The study found a high prevalence of cardiac arrhythmias (45.7% ; 95% CI: 40.90-50.60). The study found that 18.7% of the total COVID-19 patients died. Electrolyte imbalance, high serum chloride, and high Calcium levels were significantly associated with cardiac arrhythmias. Therefore, monitoring and correcting arrhythmia manifestations for COVID-19 patients is vital.

Abstract

The study found a high prevalence of cardiac arrhythmias (45.7% ; 95% CI: 40.90-50.60). The study found that 18.7% of the total COVID-19 patients died. Electrolyte imbalance, high serum chloride, and high Calcium levels were significantly associated with cardiac arrhythmias. Therefore, monitoring and correcting arrhythmia manifestations for COVID-19 patients is vital.
