Early High-Titer Plasma Therapy to Prevent Severe Covid-19 in Older Adults

R. Libster et al.

Summary: A randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled trial of convalescent plasma with high IgG titers against SARS-CoV-2 in older adult patients within 72 hours after the onset of mild Covid-19 symptoms found that early administration of high-titer convalescent plasma reduced the progression of Covid-19 in mildly ill infected older adults.

Association of Convalescent Plasma Treatment With Clinical Outcomes in Patients With COVID-19 A Systematic Review and Meta-analysis

Perrine Janiaud et al.

Summary: Convalescent plasma treatment showed no significant decrease in all-cause mortality or benefit for other clinical outcomes compared to placebo or standard of care. The certainty of the evidence ranged from low to moderate for all-cause mortality and remained low for other outcomes.

Interleukin-6 Receptor Antagonists in Critically Ill Patients with Covid-19

Anthony C. Gordon et al.

Summary: Interleukin-6 receptor antagonists tocilizumab and sarilumab were found to improve outcomes, including survival, in critically ill patients with Covid-19 receiving organ support in ICUs according to an ongoing international trial. The efficacy of these treatments has been confirmed, with patients benefiting from the therapy.

Virological Characterization of Critically Ill Patients With COVID-19 in the United Kingdom: Interactions of Viral Load, Antibody Status, and B.1.1.7 Infection

Jeremy Ratcliff et al.

Summary: The study reports diverse virological characteristics of UK intensive care patients with COVID-19, indicating higher viral loads in seronegative individuals and an increase in the frequency of the B.1.1.7 strain. These findings suggest different responses to treatment based on SARS-CoV-2 strain, viral loads, and antibody status.

Therapeutic Anticoagulation with Heparin in Noncritically Ill Patients with Covid-19

Patrick R. Lawler et al.

Summary: This study showed that therapeutic-dose anticoagulation with heparin in non-critically ill patients with Covid-19 increased the likelihood of survival to hospital discharge and reduced the need for cardiovascular or respiratory organ support compared to usual-care thromboprophylaxis.

Therapeutic Anticoagulation with Heparin in Critically Ill Patients with Covid-19

Ewan C. Goligher et al.

Summary: In critically ill patients with Covid-19, initial therapeutic-dose anticoagulation did not result in improved survival rates or fewer days requiring cardiovascular or respiratory organ support compared to usual-care pharmacologic thromboprophylaxis.

SARS-CoV-2 RNAemia and proteomic trajectories inform prognostication in COVID-19 patients admitted to intensive care

Clemens Gutmann et al.

Summary: Prognostic characteristics for ICU COVID-19 patients can be determined using blood samples, with RNAemia and pentraxin-3 identified as predictors of 28-day ICU mortality. Additionally, galectin-3-binding protein is found to interact with the SARS-CoV-2 spike glycoprotein and exhibit antiviral properties.
