Abstract

Abstract Background Cardiovascular disease (CVD) is the leading cause of morbidity and mortality during Hajj. The objective of the present study was to examine the effect of classical cardiovascular disease risk factors on mortality and hospitalization among Hajj pilgrims from East Java, Indonesia, during 2017, 2018, and 2019. Methods This study was a retrospective cohort of Hajj pilgrims from East Java, Indonesia, from 2017 to 2019. The data on risk factors were obtained from the pre-embarkation Hajj screening records. The diagnosis of hospitalization and cause of death during the Hajj period were obtained from the medical report and hospital/flight doctor death certificate. Results A total of 72078 eligible subjects were included in this study. 33807 (46.9%) were men, and 38271 (53.1%) were women, and the majority (35%) were aged between 50 and 59 years. A total of 42446 pilgrims (58.9%) were classified as high risk due to underlying health conditions such as hypertension, diabetes, or if they were aged 60 years or older. The overall hospitalization rate is 971 per 100,000 pilgrims and the overall death rate is 240 deaths per 100,000 pilgrims. Multivariate analysis using logistic regression showed that male gender, age > 50 years, hypertension grade II-III, diabetes, overweight, and obesity were associated with a higher risk of hospitalization. Moreover, male gender, diabetes, and overweight were associated with a higher risk of mortality. Of all hospitalized patients, 92 patients (13.1%) had an initial diagnosis of CVD, and CVD is the main cause of mortality (38.2%) of pilgrims. Conclusion Pilgrims with classical cardiovascular risk factors were associated with increased hospitalization and mortality.
