Severity of SARS-CoV-2 infection and albumin levels recorded at the first emergency department evaluation: a multicentre retrospective observational study

Gianni Turcato et al.

Summary: The study investigates the association between serum albumin levels in the ED and the severity of SARS-CoV-2 infection, finding that lower albumin levels are linked with a higher risk of severe infection and death. Therefore, serum albumin levels at the ED may serve as a potentially useful marker for disease severity and prognosis in patients with SARS-CoV-2 infection.

Low serum albumin: A neglected predictor in patients with cardiovascular disease

Antonis A. Manolis et al.

Summary: Albumin plays an essential role in blood, binding and transporting drugs and substances, maintaining blood oncotic pressure and influencing the physiological function of the circulatory system. It also has anti-inflammatory, antioxidant, and antithrombotic properties. Hypoalbuminemia is a strong predictor of cardiovascular risk. Diagnosing and managing underlying conditions should be prioritized in patients with hypoalbuminemia.

Decision tree analysis to predict the risk of intracranial haemorrhage after mild traumatic brain injury in patients taking DOACs

Gianni Turcato et al.

Summary: This study identified easily identifiable clinical risk factors at the first medical evaluation in the emergency department that may indicate an increased risk of post-traumatic intracranial haemorrhage in patients on DOACs. The machine-based CHAID model found specific predictors associated with the presence of post-traumatic ICH in these patients, suggesting the potential for risk stratification and patient selection guidance.

Twenty-four-hour fluid administration in emergency department patients with suspected infection: A multicenter, prospective, observational study

Marie K. Jessen et al.

Summary: The study investigated 24-hour fluid administration in emergency department patients with suspected infection, finding that patients with simple infection and sepsis received similar fluid volumes, with significant variation in fluid amounts, partially explained by clinical characteristics.

NLR and CRP to albumin ratio as a predictor of in-hospital mortality in the geriatric ED patients

Mustafa Kursat Ayranci et al.

Summary: The study revealed a significant association between increased NLR and CAR values and in-hospital mortality rates among elderly patients in the emergency department. Concurrent high levels of NLR and CAR values were found to be more effective in predicting in-hospital mortality compared to separate evaluations.
