CONCLUSION: Patients with a body mass index > 32kg/m2, respiratory system compliance 30mL/cmH2O, driving pressure > 14cmH2O and SOFA score > 5.8 immediately after the initiation of invasive ventilatory support had worse outcomes, and independent
The ongoing coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic demands rapid and straightforward diagnostic tools to prevent early-stage viral transmission. Although nasopharyngeal swabs are a widely used patient sample collection method for diagnosing
CONCLUSIONS: This work shows therapeutic efficacy in the first 5 days of intravenous administration of remdesivir, following the loading dose. It is also necessary to underline the different behaviors of the drug when administered late in patients
This review aimed to summarise the relative risk (RR) of the main symptoms of long COVID in people infected with SARS-CoV-2 compared to uninfected controls, as well as the difference in health-related quality of life (HRQoL) after infection. MEDLINE
CONCLUSION AND IMPLICATIONS: We observed a spike in antipsychotic prescribing in the dementia and care home groups, which correlated with lockdowns and was likely due to prescribing of antipsychotics for palliative care. We observed gradual increases
CONCLUSION-: Industries that consistently had disproportionate burden of the COVID-19 mortality may have benefitted from protections that consider workers' increased exposure and vulnerability to severe outcomes.
CONCLUSION: The MCP-1 gene polymorphism had no impact on COVID-19 severity. However, to confirm these results, a large-scale study needs to be conducted.
Acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS) is a severe respiratory condition characterized by increased lung permeability, hyper-inflammatory state, and fluid leak into the alveolar spaces. ARDS is a heterogeneous disease, with multiple direct and
