Severity of Illness Scores and Biomarkers for Prognosis of Patients with Coronavirus Disease 2019

Rodrigo Cavallazzi et al.

Summary: The severity of COVID-19 and the difficulty in recognizing high-risk patients at an early stage call for accurate prognostic assessments. This study reviews the use of illness scores and biomarkers to predict patient outcomes. COVID-19-specific scores and well-known indices like PSI and CURB-65 have proved to be useful in assessing disease severity and mortality risk. Biomarkers also provide valuable prognostic information. However, these tools should be used in conjunction with clinical judgment for individual patients.

Oxidative Stress and Hyper-Inflammation as Major Drivers of Severe COVID-19 and Long COVID: Implications for the Benefit of High-Dose Intravenous Vitamin C

Claudia Vollbracht et al.

Summary: Oxidative stress plays a crucial role in the pathophysiology of COVID-19 and Long-COVID. Deficiency of vitamin C, a powerful antioxidant, is common in COVID-19 patients and may have serious pathological consequences. Intravenous high dose vitamin C treatment has been investigated and shown to improve oxygenation, reduce inflammation, and promote faster recovery in COVID-19 patients. It may also reduce the risks of severe courses of the disease and the development of Long-COVID.

COVID-19 complications in males and females: recent developments

Rahul Chaturvedi et al.

Summary: Males have an increased risk of infection and worse outcomes compared to females in COVID-19. Genetic predispositions, sex hormones, immune system responses, and non-biological causes contribute to the disparity in COVID-19 responses between the sexes. Further research is needed to explore the impact of sex on COVID-19.

Lluis Masana et al.

Summary: The presence of atherogenic dyslipidaemia during COVID-19 infection is strongly associated with a worse prognosis. Low HDL cholesterol and high triglyceride concentrations, either before or during hospitalization, are strong predictors of a severe course of the disease. Lipid profiles can be considered as sensitive markers of inflammation in patients with COVID-19 and should be measured.
