Observational Study
Cardiovascular outcomes for people hospitalised with COVID-19 in Australia, and the effect of vaccination: an observational cohort study.
To assess the frequency of clinical cardiovascular outcomes for people hospitalised with coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19), and the impact of vaccination. ⋯ Although troponin levels were elevated in a considerable proportion of people hospitalised with COVID-19, clinical cardiovascular events were infrequent, and their likelihood was not influenced by vaccination. COVID-19 vaccination, however, was associated with reduced likelihood of in-hospital death and intubation.
