Trends in Intensive Care for Patients with COVID-19 in England, Wales, and Northern Ireland

James C. Doidge et al.

Summary: The study described trends in intensive care for patients with COVID-19 and found significant variations in ICU admission rates during the first wave of the epidemic in England and Northern Ireland, varying over time and geography. Patient characteristics, care processes, and outcomes in ICU also changed, with some deviations in trends during the peak period. After adjusting for important risk factors, there was a substantial improvement in patient outcomes.

Summary: This study examined the epidemiology of COVID-19-related critical illness in the United States, specifically focusing on patients admitted to intensive care units within the University of Pennsylvania Health System. The results showed a decrease in mortality over time, despite stable patient characteristics. Further research is needed to confirm these findings and explore potential causal mechanisms.

Hospital Revenue Under Maryland's Total Cost of Care Model During the COVID-19 Pandemic, March-July 2020

Joseph F. Levy et al.

Summary: This study compares revenue of Maryland hospitals in March-July 2020 with historical trends and assesses the impact of rate increases for inpatient and outpatient services on state hospital revenue. The findings suggest that the rate increases permitted to offset pandemic-related revenue declines may not be sufficient.

Actions Taken by US Hospitals to Prepare for Increased Demand for Intensive Care During the First Wave of COVID-19 A National Survey

Meeta Prasad Kerlin et al.

Summary: During the COVID-19 pandemic, most US hospitals canceled elective surgeries and procedures, but only a few established new medical units or implemented triage protocols. Actions to increase or preserve ICU staff, such as using ICU telemedicine, varied greatly with no dominant strategy. Hospitals with higher COVID-19 incidence did not consistently take different actions compared to hospitals with lower incidence.

Balancing the Needs of Acute and Maintenance Dialysis Patients during the COVID-19 Pandemic A Proposed Ethical Framework for Dialysis Allocation

Rachel C. Carson et al.

Summary: The COVID-19 pandemic has led to shortages in medical supplies and equipment worldwide, prompting the need for transparent and ethical frameworks for resource allocation. In this context, BC Renal in Canada developed a framework for dialysis patients that prioritizes benefits, fairness, and equitable allocation based on urgency and prognosis, aiming to maintain an equitable reallocation of limited resources during a pandemic.

Appendicitis Mortality in a Resource-Limited Setting: Issues of Access and Failure to Rescue

Brittney M. Williams et al.

Summary: By analyzing patients with appendicitis at a tertiary care center in Malawi, it was found that most patients experienced pre-hospital delays in care, and postoperative complications were the significant predictor of mortality. Improving the diagnosis and management of complications is crucial to reduce preventable deaths from appendicitis in resource-limited settings.

Underutilization of Operative Capacity at the District Hospital Level in a Resource-Limited Setting

Jared R. Gallaher et al.

Summary: In Salima District Hospital in Malawi, despite available resources, laparotomy was rarely performed which led to higher mortality rates due to delays in treatment. Optimizing the surgical ecosystems at district and health center levels is crucial to improve surgical access and patient outcomes in Malawi.
