Meta-analysis investigating the relationship between clinical features, outcomes, and severity of severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) pneumonia

Jia Li et al.

Summary: Research findings showed that severe (ICU) COVID-19 cases were more likely to have a smoking history, along with comorbidities such as chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, diabetes, hypertension, coronary heart disease, cerebrovascular diseases, and malignancy. There were significant differences between severe and nonsevere cases in terms of clinical symptoms, laboratory test results, and treatments. Patients in the severe group had higher complication rates, mortality rates, and lower discharge rates compared to nonsevere cases.

Naoki Akazawa et al.

Summary: This study found that greater intramuscular adipose tissue in the quadriceps at admission is more strongly related to worse recovery of activities of daily living (ADL) in older inpatients, while muscle mass is not significantly associated with ADL recovery.
