Insulin Therapy and Outcome of Coronavirus Disease 2019 (COVID-19): A Systematic Review, Meta-Analysis, and Meta-Regression

Timotius Ivan Hariyanto et al.

Summary: This study aims to evaluate the association between insulin therapy and poor outcomes of COVID-19. Through a systematic search and statistical analysis, it was found that insulin use is significantly associated with composite poor outcomes of COVID-19, including COVID-19 risk, severe COVID-19, and mortality. The association is influenced by age, but not by diabetes and cardiovascular disease.

Clinical, radiological, and laboratory characteristics and risk factors for severity and mortality of 289 hospitalized COVID-19 patients

Jin-jin Zhang et al.

Summary: The study aims to address the risk factors associated with the severity of COVID-19 patients and the mortality of severe patients. Survived severe and nonsurvived COVID-19 patients had distinct clinical and laboratory characteristics, which were separated by principal component analysis. Risk factors for mortality of severe COVID-19 patients include elder age, increased number of affected lobes, higher levels of serum CRP, chest tightness/dyspnea, and smoking history.

Sadie Bennett et al.

Summary: The systematic literature review of COVID-19 patients admitted to hospitals revealed that fever and cough were the most common symptoms. Comorbidities such as hypertension and cardiovascular disease were prevalent, and severe adverse outcomes included acute respiratory distress syndrome, acute cardiac injury, acute kidney injury, and mortality.

Summary: The meta-analysis suggests that COVID-19 patients with elevated procalcitonin, CRP, D-dimer, and LDH levels, as well as decreased albumin levels, may be more likely to develop severe outcomes.

Neural network analysis of clinical variables predicts escalated care in COVID-19 patients: a retrospective study

Joyce Q. Lu et al.

Summary: This study used neural networks to analyze clinical variables in hospitalized COVID-19 patients and found that certain laboratory tests could predict the need for escalated care. Vital sign and blood-gas data were also important predictors, improving the accuracy of ICU admission prediction. These findings may assist frontline physicians in allocating healthcare resources more effectively.

Mikhail N. Kosiborod et al.

Summary: The DARE-19 trial showed that treatment with dapagliflozin in patients hospitalized with COVID-19 and cardiometabolic risk factors did not significantly reduce the risk of organ dysfunction or death, or improve clinical recovery, but was well tolerated.

Timotius Ivan Hariyanto et al.

Summary: The study found that the use of DPP-4 inhibitors in diabetic patients does not impact the outcomes of COVID-19, including severity and mortality. Factors such as age, hypertension, and admission blood glucose levels did not significantly influence the association. The association was weaker in East Asian populations compared to European populations.

Machining learning predicts the need for escalated care and mortality in COVID-19 patients from clinical variables

Wei Hou et al.

Summary: This study developed a machine learning algorithm to identify key clinical measures to triage patients to general admission versus ICU admission and predict mortality in COVID-19 pandemic. The predictive model performed well with 89% AUC for mortality and 79% AUC for ICU admission. The findings provide practical insights for frontline physicians in clinical decision making.
