Impact of Vaccination on the Course and Outcome of COVID-19 in Patients with Multimorbidity

Vaccines (Basel). 2023 Nov 7;11(11):1696. doi: 10.3390/vaccines11111696.

ABSTRACT

Vaccination is the most cost-effective method of preventing COVID-19; however, data on its effect on patients with multimorbidity is limited. The aim was to evaluate the effect of vaccination against new coronavirus infection (NCI) in patients with multimorbid pathology in hospital treatment on the outcome of COVID-19 disease. An analysis was carried out of 1832 records of patients in one of the COVID-19 hospitals in Moscow for 2020-2022. Statistical analysis was carried out using the StatTech v. 3.1.3 software, and the binary logistic regression (BLR) method was used to obtain prognostic models. The median age of patients was 69 years, and 76% of them had received two vaccine doses. To assess the outcome of the disease, two prognostic models were obtained depending on the presence of a multimorbidity in patients: cardiovascular pathology and/or atherosclerosis and/or type 2 diabetes mellitus (Model 1) or atherosclerosis and/or type 2 diabetes mellitus and/or encephalopathy (Model 2), against the background of the presence or absence of vaccination against NCI. When assessing the outcome of NCI in Model 1, the odds of death decreased by 3.228 times with two doses of Sputnik V in patients with multimorbidity. According to Model 2, for patients with multimorbidity, the chances of death decreased by 3.281 times with two doses of Sputnik V. The presence of two doses of Sputnik V increased the likelihood of recovery in patients with multimorbidity by more than three times.
