Covid-19 Impact of COVID-19 in nutritional and functional status of survivors admitted in intensive care units during the first outbreak. Preliminary results of the NUTRICOVID study

Cristina Cuerda et al.

Summary: This study describes the preliminary results of the ongoing NUTRICOVID study, which focuses on the nutritional and functional status and quality of life of adult COVID-19 survivors after ICU discharge. The preliminary analysis shows that COVID-19 survivors experience significant nutritional and functional impairment at hospital discharge, highlighting the importance of post-discharge nutritional management.

Long Term Follow-Up of Sarcopenia and Malnutrition after Hospitalization for COVID-19 in Conventional or Intensive Care Units

Dan Levy et al.

Summary: Post-COVID-19 condition, which refers to the signs and symptoms lasting at least 2 months and persisting more than 3 months after COVID-19 infection, is found to affect malnutrition and sarcopenia in patients. The study shows that sarcopenia is more common in patients with longer ICU stays. However, these nutrition and muscle issues can be reversed within 6 months after discharge.

Hans-Jonas Meyer et al.

Summary: Computed tomography-defined LSMM and high visceral fat area have a significant association with in-hospital mortality in COVID-19 patients, suggesting that they should be considered as important prognostic biomarkers in clinical practice. Six studies with a total of 1059 patients were included in the analysis, revealing a prevalence of LSMM at 33.6% and indicating odds ratios of 5.84 for LSMM and 2.65 for high visceral fat area in univariate analysis.

Mate Rottler et al.

Summary: This study aimed to summarize the evidence on the efficacy of frailty tools in risk assessment in COVID-19 patients. The results showed that frailty is strongly associated with mortality in COVID-19 patients and should be included in international treatment guidelines.

A Case-Control of Patients with COVID-19 to Explore the Association of Previous Hospitalisation Use of Medication on the Mortality of COVID-19 Disease: A Propensity Score Matching Analysis

Jaime Monserrat Villatoro et al.

Summary: This study explores the association between previous hospitalization use of medication and the mortality of COVID-19 disease. The results show that certain drugs, such as anticoagulants and antihistamines, are associated with a reduction in mortality, while others, such as acetylsalicylic acid and digoxin, are associated with an increase in mortality. The relationship between medication and recovery may require further clinical trials to determine.

Low muscle mass in COVID-19 critically-ill patients: Prognostic significance and surrogate markers for assessment

I. A. Osuna-Padilla et al.

Summary: This study analyzed the prognostic significance of low muscle mass in critically ill COVID-19 patients using CT scans. The study also compared the accuracy and agreement of diverse markers in identifying low muscle mass compared to CT as the gold standard. The results showed that low muscle mass was associated with prolonged length of ICU and hospital stays, and the bedside markers of muscle mass showed poor accuracy compared to CT assessment.

Summary: During the COVID-19 pandemic, Brazilian Indigenous peoples faced an increased risk of death, with factors such as male gender, older age (>= 60 y.o.), and need for ventilatory support being associated with an enhanced risk. The study also found that older age (>= 43 y.o.), loss of smell, and fever were factors that could help differentiate SARS caused by COVID-19 or other etiologic agents.

Diego Casas-Deza et al.

Summary: The risk of severe COVID-19 increases with age, with higher incidence in individuals over 80 possibly due to transmission within nursing homes. Case fatality rates were low in younger age groups but increased progressively with age, especially during the first pandemic wave. Older patients had a more severe and rapid progression of SARS-CoV-2 infection, emphasizing the need for targeted prevention measures and prioritization of vaccination in the elderly.

Summary: This study suggests that the use of antidepressants in patients hospitalized for COVID-19 may be associated with a lower risk of death or intubation. Antidepressants such as fluoxetine, paroxetine, escitalopram, venlafaxine, and mirtazapine showed significant associations with reduced risk.

Summary: This study aimed to assess the risk of severe in-hospital complications in patients admitted for COVID-19 and diabetes mellitus (DM).

Summary: The study aimed to validate the clinical performance of the Polish version of the SARC-F questionnaire, which was found to have low sensitivity but high specificity. In the elderly population, SARC-F is better suited for ruling out sarcopenia than for case finding. Further refinement of the screening for sarcopenia with the use of SARC-F seems necessary.
