More smokers die more from Covid in Spanish hospitals than non-smokers:
Latest figures from the pandemic show that more smokers have died from Covid than non-smokers according to a study published today by the Spanish Society of Internal Medicine (SEMI), based on more than 14,000 patients admitted to Spanish hospitals for Covid.
People who smoke have required more hospital admissions, both to wards and ICU, than non-smokers, due to more respiratory problems caused by smoking. The evolution of the virus was worse in these patients, with a higher rate of admission to ICU (10.4% v 8.1%), higher in-hospital mortality (22.5% v 16.4%), and higher re-admission after one month (5.8% v 4.0%).
The study finds that smokers have more cardiovascular risk than non-smokers, and upon admission, they suffered more dyspnoea, lower oxygen saturation, greater lung problems, and other poor prognostic parameters.
