Severe COVID-19 pneumonia in an intensive care setting and comparisons with historic severe viral pneumonia due to other viruses

Kiran Dadhwal et al.

Summary: Severe viral pneumonia, especially COVID-19, has significant impact on morbidity and mortality rates, with differences in patient demographics and illness severity between patients with COVID-19 and other viral pneumonias. Despite variations in characteristics and treatments, mortality rates did not significantly differ between the two groups, warranting further studies with larger sample sizes for better assessment.

A retrospective comparison of COVID-19 and seasonal influenza mortality and outcomes in the ICUs of a French university hospital

Donatien de Marignan et al.

Summary: This study evaluated the mortality and burden of COVID-19 and seasonal influenza pneumonia in ICUs in Lyon, France. The study found that despite COVID-19 patients being younger and having fewer comorbidities compared to influenza patients, the risk of death associated with COVID-19 was higher. The severity of illness and treatment requirements were also higher for COVID-19 patients.

A systematic review and meta-analysis comparing the clinical characteristics and outcomes of COVID-19 and influenza patients on ECMO

Woon Hean Chong et al.

Summary: A meta-analysis comparing the use of ECMO in patients with COVID-19 and influenza found similar clinical characteristics, ECMO duration, and mortality rates between the two groups. The duration of mechanical ventilation before ECMO did not influence outcomes in these patients. Patients with COVID-19 benefit similarly from ECMO salvage therapy as those with influenza.

A retrospective comparison between influenza and COVID-19-associated ARDS in a Croatian tertiary care center

Branimir Gjurasin et al.

Summary: This study aimed to compare the clinical course and laboratory parameters of severely ill flu and COVID-19 patients treated with invasive mechanical ventilation. It was found that COVID-19 patients were older, predominantly male, had lower CRP levels, and required less ECMO support compared to influenza patients. However, there was no significant difference in mortality between the two etiological groups.

Comparison of the characteristics, morbidity, and mortality of COVID-19 and seasonal influenza: a nationwide, population-based retrospective cohort study

Lionel Piroth et al.

Summary: Patients hospitalized for COVID-19 and influenza in France showed significant differences in terms of hospitalization requirements, clinical characteristics, and outcomes, with COVID-19 patients more likely to develop severe complications and have higher mortality rates. In children, while hospitalization rate for COVID-19 appeared lower than for influenza, in-hospital mortality was higher, although limited by low patient numbers. These findings emphasize the need for appropriate preventive measures, specific vaccines, and treatments for COVID-19.

Clinical outcomes and characteristics of patients hospitalized for Influenza or COVID-19 in Germany

Marion Ludwig et al.

Summary: The study compared the clinical and demographic characteristics of German patients hospitalized for infection with either SARS-CoV-2 or Influenza. Results showed that COVID-19 patients had higher in-hospital mortality and worse clinical outcomes, which were not attributable to demographic characteristics, preexisting comorbidities, or patient triage.

A Comparative Systematic Review of COVID-19 and Influenza

Molka Osman et al.

Summary: This study found significant differences between COVID-19 and influenza patients in clinical features, laboratory and radiological findings. COVID-19 patients were more likely to exhibit neurologic symptoms and diarrhea, and they were also more frequently transferred to intensive care units.

Jacek Czubak et al.

Summary: The study found that cough, fever, muscle pain, and headache were the most frequently reported symptoms in individuals with COVID-19, with fever being more common in COVID-19 compared to influenza and common cold. Sore throat was less frequently reported in COVID-19 and SARS compared to other viral diseases.

Summary: The new P/FP ratio formula, incorporating PEEP into the P/F ratio, better predicts hospital mortality in ARDS patients compared to the traditional P/F ratio. Changes in severity classification with the P/FP ratio reflect both true illness severity and the applied PEEP strategy.

Summary: The study compared critically ill patients with COVID-19 and influenza, finding that patients with COVID-19 had a higher risk of mortality compared to patients with influenza. Although the clinical presentations were similar, patients with COVID-19 had differences in the need for mechanical ventilation, oxygenation improvement, and in-hospital mortality rates compared to patients with influenza.
