Liver Injury and Elevated FIB-4 Define a High-Risk Group in Patients with COVID-19

Dana Crisan et al.

Summary: This study evaluates the role of abnormal liver tests and non-invasive fibrosis estimators in the prognosis of hospitalized COVID-19 patients. It found that severe fibrosis estimators scores and elevated aspartate aminotransferase are independently associated with mortality, suggesting that high FIB-4 scores may serve as a predictor for survival in COVID-19 patients.

Summary: This study found that elevated pre-infection FIB-4 index in patients at risk of NAFLD with COVID-19 infection was associated with worsened clinical outcomes, but age was the strongest predictor.

Summary: This study found that patients with cirrhosis who experienced EVB had decreased platelet levels, while their APRI, AARPRI, FIB-4, and S-index levels were higher. FIB-4, AARPRI, PLT were identified as significant predictors for EVB in cirrhosis patients.

Liver fibrosis indices associated with substantial hematoma expansion in Chinese patients with primary intracerebral hemorrhage

Summary: In Chinese patients with primary ICH, liver fibrosis indices are independently associated with a higher risk of substantial HE, suggesting that subclinical liver fibrosis should be routinely assessed in such patients to identify those at high risk of substantial HE.

Carlo De Matteis et al.

Summary: Visceral obesity is associated with non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) and cardiovascular risk. The non-invasive serum marker APRI has been validated as a predictor of cardiovascular risk, especially showing a significant increase in younger female patients.

Liver Fibrosis Index FIB-4 Is Associated With Mortality in COVID-19

Yijia Li et al.

Summary: The study found that FIB-4 score is associated with mortality in COVID-19 hospitalized patients, with each unit increase in FIB-4 score linked to higher risk of death. FIB-4 score peaked and then normalized in the survivor group but failed to do so in the deceased group. Furthermore, FIB-4 was positively correlated with SARS-CoV-2 viral load and monocyte-associated cytokines, particularly interleukin-6 and interferon gamma-induced protein 10.

Atlas of ACE2 gene expression reveals novel insights into transmission of SARS-CoV-2

Kun Sun et al.

Summary: The study shows that ACE2 is highly conserved in various mammals, with expression in certain human tissues consistent with clinical symptoms of COVID-19 patients. Cats and dogs exhibit exceptionally high ACE2 expression in external body parts, suggesting they may be vulnerable to viral infections.
