Objectives: SARS-CoV-2 infection ("COVID-19") and the hypoxemia that has attended some cases may predispose to rhabdomyolysis. We sought to identify reported cases of COVID-19-associated rhabdomyolysis, examining concurrent risk factors (RFs) and mortality outcomes.
Methods: We searched PubMed for articles conveying individual-level information on COVID-19-associated rhabdomyolysis, published between January 2020 and July 2022, with an English-language abstract. Two independent parties performed the search, and then abstracted information on cases including rhabdomyolysis RFs and mortality.
Results: In total, 117 individual reported cases of COVID-19-associated rhabdomyolysis were identified from 89 articles. A total of 80 cases (68.4%) had at least one reported non-COVID-19 RF (i.e. not considering COVID-19 or hypoxemia). On average, 1.27 additional RFs were reported, including age ≥65, metabolic syndrome features, hypothyroidism, previous rhabdomyolysis, hemoglobinopathy, trauma/compression, pregnancy, exertion, inborn errors of metabolism, concurrent (co-)infection, capillary leak syndrome, and selected rhabdomyolysis-associated medications. Concurrent RFs are understated, as many articles omitted comorbidities/medications. Of 109 cases with ascertainable survival status, 31 (28%) died.
Conclusions: COVID-19 and hypoxemia confer risk of rhabdomyolysis, but additional rhabdomyolysis RFs are commonly present. Mortality is substantial irrespective of the presence of such RFs. Clinicians should be aware of COVID-19-associated rhabdomyolysis, and caution may be warranted in administering agents that may amplify rhabdomyolysis risk.
