Post-COVID-19 syndrome, low-grade inflammation and inflammatory markers: a cross-sectional study

Meryam Maamar et al.

Summary: This study aims to investigate whether subjects with post-COVID syndrome (PCS) after mild COVID-19 have higher levels of inflammatory markers. The results demonstrate a consistent association between PCS and upper ranges of neutrophil count, NLR, fibrinogen, and CRP in the LGI range. Furthermore, the study identifies relevant sex differences in symptoms and markers regarding PCS.

Comparison between methylprednisolone infusion and dexamethasone in COVID-19 ARDS mechanically ventilated patients

Mohammed Abdel Monem Saeed et al.

Summary: This study compared the therapeutic effects of methylprednisolone and dexamethasone in patients with severe COVID-19 pneumonia and found that the methylprednisolone group showed significant improvements in clinical outcomes and laboratory results, including reduced mechanical ventilation days, shortened length of stay, and decreased levels of inflammatory markers.

Intravenous methylprednisolone pulses in hospitalised patients with severe COVID-19 pneumonia: a double-blind, randomised, placebo-controlled trial

Carlo Salvarani et al.

Summary: This study evaluated the efficacy and safety of pulse intravenous methylprednisolone in COVID-19 pneumonia patients, and found no significant benefit compared to standard treatment. There were no significant differences in hospital discharge time, survival rates, or overall mortality between the two groups, indicating limited effectiveness of pulse methylprednisolone therapy in treating COVID-19 pneumonia.

Cytokine Profiles as Potential Prognostic and Therapeutic Markers in SARS-CoV-2-Induced ARDS

Francesco Salton et al.

Summary: This study investigated the cytokine profiles in patients with SARS-CoV-2-induced ARDS who were treated with glucocorticoids (GCs). The study found that patients in the invasive mechanical ventilation (IMV) group had higher inflammation levels at intubation compared to the non-invasive ventilation (NIV) group, suggesting a higher resistance to GCs. Further studies are needed to determine the prognostic value of cytokine patterns and the optimal treatment for these patients.

COVID-19-Associated Hospitalizations Among Vaccinated and Unvaccinated Adults 18 Years or Older in 13 US States, January 2021 to April 2022

Fiona P. Havers et al.

Summary: Understanding the factors that contribute to hospitalization in vaccinated individuals is crucial for combating COVID-19. This study found that unvaccinated adults were more likely to be hospitalized compared to vaccinated adults, with the lowest hospitalization rates observed in those who had received a booster dose.

Effect of 12 mg vs 6 mg of Dexamethasone on the Number of Days Alive Without Life Support in Adults With COVID-19 and Severe Hypoxemia The COVID STEROID 2 Randomized Trial

Marie W. Munch et al.

Summary: In patients with COVID-19 and severe hypoxemia, the use of 12 mg/d of dexamethasone compared to 6 mg/d did not lead to a statistically significant difference in the number of days alive without life support at 28 days. The study may have lacked the power to detect a significant effect.

COVID-19: disease pathways and gene expression changes predict methylprednisolone can improve outcome in severe cases

Sorin Draghici et al.

Summary: The study analyzed different clinical phases of COVID-19 and identified methylprednisolone as a potentially effective therapy for severe symptoms related to hyper-inflammation. Clinical results confirmed that methylprednisolone significantly reduced mortality in COVID-19 patients.

Summary: This guideline provides clear recommendations for the management of COVID-19 patients, including strong recommendations in favor of systemic corticosteroids and anticoagulation therapy, and conditional recommendations for IL-6 receptor antagonist monoclonal antibody treatment and high-flow nasal oxygen or continuous positive airway pressure in specific situations.

Summary: The study demonstrated that methylprednisolone was more effective than dexamethasone in hospitalized hypoxic COVID-19 patients, with better clinical status, shorter hospital stay, and lower need for a ventilator in the intervention group.

'Long-COVID': a cross-sectional study of persisting symptoms, biomarker and imaging abnormalities following hospitalisation for COVID-19

Swapna Mandal et al.

Summary: Following discharge from hospital, a significant number of COVID-19 patients continue to experience persistent symptoms such as breathlessness, cough, fatigue, and depression. Some patients also show elevated levels of biomarkers indicating ongoing health issues. Chest radiographs reveal abnormalities in a considerable portion of patients, with a small percentage showing deterioration.
