Low serum calcium and phosphorus and their clinical performance in detecting COVID-19 patients

Caiting Yang et al.

Summary: This study found that low serum calcium and phosphorus are more prevalent in severe or critical COVID-19 patients, with high specificity but suboptimal sensitivity. Combining calcium and phosphorus with lymphocyte count provides the best discriminatory performance for severe COVID-19 patients.

Cardiovascular risk factors and mortality in hospitalized patients with COVID-19: systematic review and meta-analysis of 45 studies and 18,300 patients

Angelo Silverio et al.

Summary: This meta-analysis suggests that older age and diabetes are associated with a higher risk of in-hospital mortality in patients infected with SARS-CoV-2. Conversely, male sex, hypertension, and smoking did not independently correlate with fatal outcomes.

Predictors of clinical deterioration in non-severe patients with COVID-19: a retrospective cohort study

Zhang Yitao et al.

Summary: This study identified specific clinical and laboratory characteristics of COVID-19 patients upon hospital admission, including age, symptoms, and biochemical markers, as risk factors for clinical deterioration. CRP, procalcitonin, age, and albumin were found to be the best predictors for clinical deterioration.

Rahul K. Gajbhiye et al.

Summary: In countries with a high burden of TB, pregnant women with symptomatic COVID-19 should be tested for TB. The infrastructure of the TB Program can be utilized for the control of COVID-19, and vice versa. Sharing resources and infrastructure can improve the control of both diseases.

Summary: The study found that male patients, patients over 50, and patients with comorbidities such as kidney disease and cerebrovascular disease were significantly more at risk of mortality from COVID-19. However, liver disease did not show a significant association with mortality risk.

Clinical characteristics and predictors of mortality in young adults with severe COVID-19: a retrospective observational study

Yanjiao Lu et al.

Summary: Lymphopenia, elevated level of d-dimer, hs-CTnI and hs-CRP were independent predictors of mortality in young adults with severe COVID-19, and young adults with two or more abnormalities above were more prone to death. Similar predictive effects of these factors were also observed in all-age patients with severe COVID-19.

Summary: This study investigated the impact of chronic respiratory diseases (CRDs) on the risk and mortality of COVID-19 in the South Korean population. Results showed that patients with interstitial lung disease (ILD) and obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) had a higher incidence of COVID-19, while patients with COPD and chronic lung disease due to external agents had a higher risk of mortality among patients with COVID-19.

Summary: The study found that deaths with covid-19 were common in Lusaka, with most occurring in the community and few being tested before death. This suggests that the impact of covid-19 in Africa may have been vastly underestimated due to under-reporting.

Summary: This study analyzed the epidemic situation of COVID-19 based on the epidemiological Markov model and studied the clinical risk factors of patients. Results showed significant differences in complications between the two groups, with clinical risk factors mainly including gender, age, and hypertension. The Markov model can be used to judge the time course of COVID-19 in different development states.

Relationship between blood eosinophil levels and COVID-19 mortality

Bingdi Yan et al.

Summary: Eosinopenia is associated with mortality in COVID-19 patients, with a progressive decline of eosinophil levels indicating a higher chance of mortality as the disease progresses. Additionally, eosinopenia correlates with biomarkers of coagulation disorder and tissue damage in organs like the kidney and liver.

Summary: A significant proportion of COVID-19 cases in Ethiopia were asymptomatic, while older age, diabetes, cardiovascular disease, malignancy, surgery/trauma, and HIV infection were factors associated with the severity and in-hospital mortality of COVID-19. These findings could aid in developing appropriate patient management strategies.

Summary: This study examined the outcomes and risk factors of COVID-19 patients with diabetes in Western Cape, South Africa between March and July 2020. Patients with diabetes were more likely to be hospitalized and die, with pre-infection use of diabetes medications such as insulin and metformin showing significant associations with outcomes.

Summary: This study found that over half of children with SARS-CoV-2 infection had comorbidities, with tuberculosis being the most common followed by other infections and hematological conditions. Fever was the most common clinical feature, and comorbidities did not significantly impact the severity, hospitalization duration, ventilator requirement, or mortality of COVID-19 in children.

The majority of COVID-19 deaths in this study were below 55 years old and had comorbidities such as HIV and tuberculosis. The findings of this study were consistent with those reported in China, Europe, and the USA, but highlighted the importance of further investigation into the impact of HIV and TB co-infection.
