"Results: In this study of 41 case reports of COVID-19 vaccine-induced myocarditis, the average age of presentation was 29.13 ± 14.39 years of age. Out of all reported cases, 90% of cases are seen in males and only 10% of cases are seen in females.
The majority of the reported cases got myocarditis after taking the Pfizer vaccine, which in 26 cases was around 65%, while 12 patients took Moderna at 30%. Out of these 40 reported cases, only 2 (5%) took the Janssen (J&J) vaccine.
In the collected data, we found most of the cases, 32, were after the second dose of vaccine (80%), three cases were reported after the first dose of vaccine (7.50%), and five cases were not reported anything specific to the dose (13%) for Pfizer and Moderna vaccines ...
Most of the reported cases in the analysis recovered from myocarditis. 39 (97.5%) cases recovered from myocarditis and were discharged from the hospital, where one case (2.5%) concluded in the demise of the patient. The 2.5% of mortality is concerning and needs further research studies on COVID-19 vaccines causing myocarditis to explore more. The average discharge from the hospital was around 6.375 days after hospitalization, with a standard deviation of ±11.61 days. The median value for discharge was four days, and a maximum number of patients got discharged after two days of hospitalization after improvement in the symptoms."
