Background and Objective : The association of non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) and metabolic-associated fatty liver disease (MAFLD) with intensive care unit (ICU) admissions and the need for mechanical ventilation and disease severity in COVID-19 patients. Material and Methods : A systematic literature review was conducted on the databases: Cochrane, Embase, PubMed, ScienceDirect, and the Web of Science from January 2019 to June 2022. Studies evaluating MAFLD using laboratory methods, non-invasive imaging, or liver biopsy were included. The study protocol was registered in PROSPERO (ID CRD42022313259), and PRISMA guidelines were followed. The NIH quality assessment tool was used for quality assessment. RevMan version 5.3 software was used for pooled analysis. A sensitivity analysis was performed to assess the result's stability. Results : A total of 37,974 patients from 17 studies were assessed for the association between MAFLD and ICU admission. A total of 3396 COVID-19 patients required ICU admission: 1236 (20.41%) in the MAFLD group and 2160 (6.77%) in the non-MAFLD group. The odds ratio was 1.86 for ICU admission, p = 0.007, and a (95% CI) of [1.18-2.91]. A total of 37,166 patients from 13 studies were included in the need for invasive mechanical ventilation analysis. A total of 1676 patients required mechanical ventilation: 805 in the MAFLD group (14.20% of all MAFLD patients) and 871 patients in the non-MAFLD group (2.76% of all non-MAFLD patients). The odds ratio was 2.05, p = 0.02, and a (95% CI) of [1.12-3.74]. A total of 5286 patients from 14 studies were included in the COVID-19 disease severity analysis. Severe COVID-19 was seen in 1623 patients, with 33.17% (901/2716) of MAFLD patients and 28.09% (722/2570) of non-MAFLD patients having severe disease. The odds ratio was 1.59 for disease severity, p = 0.010, and a (95% CI) of [1.12-2.26]. Conclusions : Our meta-analysis suggests that there are significantly increased odds of ICU admissions, a need for invasive mechanical ventilation, and disease severity in MAFLD patients who acquire COVID-19. |
