Metabolic Syndrome Is Associated with Poor Omicron Infection Prognosis While Inactivated Vaccine Improves the Outcome of Coronavirus Disease 2019 among Chinese Inhabitants: A Retrospective Observational Study from a Chinese Municipality

Coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) and metabolic syndrome (MetS) are currently highly prevalent diseases worldwide. Studies on clinical outcomes of patients with Omicron and MetS, especially after vaccination with an inactivated vaccine are limited. Herein, we explored the relationship between MetS...

description Coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) and metabolic syndrome (MetS) are currently highly prevalent diseases worldwide. Studies on clinical outcomes of patients with Omicron and MetS, especially after vaccination with an inactivated vaccine are limited. Herein, we explored the relationship between MetS and the outcome of Omicron infection. Study Design: This was a retrospective observational study. Methods: This study recruited 316 individuals with Omicron infection. The inpatient data from between 8 January and 7 February 2022 were obtained from designated isolation hospitals in Tianjin, China. Hierarchical and multivariable analysis was conducted on age, gender, number of complications, and vaccination status. Results: Among the 316 study participants, 35.1% were diagnosed with MetS. The results showed that MetS was strongly associated with Intensive Unit Care (ICU) admission, Polymerase Chain Reaction (PCR) re-positivity, and severe COVID-19. The ICU admission rates of the unvaccinated individuals, those who received two-dose and full vaccination (3 doses), were 66.7%, 19.2%, and 0, respectively (<i>p</i> < 0.01). Two-dose and three-dose vaccinations significantly reduced PCR re-positivity. Conclusions: In summary, MetS increases the risk of ICU admission, PCR re-positivity, and severe COVID-19. MetS is a composite predictor of poor outcomes of Omicron infection. Two shots of inactivated vaccine, specifically three doses, effectively protect against Omicron even in the high-risk group.
