Summary: In a clinical trial, the safety, tolerability, and antiviral efficacy of molnupiravir were evaluated in unvaccinated individuals with confirmed SARS-CoV-2 infection. The study found that participants receiving high-dose molnupiravir had a shorter time to viral RNA clearance and a lower detection rate of infectious virus. Molnupiravir was well tolerated across all doses.

Characteristics and Prognostic Factors of Pulmonary Fibrosis After COVID-19 Pneumonia

Elisabetta Cocconcelli et al.

Summary: Only twenty percent of patients showed persistent lung abnormalities at 6 months after hospitalization for COVID-19 pneumonia in this study. These patients are predominantly older men with longer hospital stay. The presence of reticulations and consolidation on HRCT at hospital admission predicts the persistence of radiological abnormalities during follow-up.

Lung Function, Radiological Findings and Biomarkers of Fibrogenesis in a Cohort of COVID-19 Patients Six Months After Hospital Discharge

Belen Safont et al.

Summary: This study evaluated functional respiratory parameters, changes in chest CT, and correlation with peripheral blood biomarkers involved in lung fibrosis at two and six months after SARS-CoV-2 pneumonia. The results showed that almost half of patients with moderate or severe COVID-19 pneumonia had impaired pulmonary diffusion six months after discharge. Severe patients showed fibrotic lesions in CT scan and elevated serum biomarkers involved in pulmonary fibrosis.

Summary: This study assessed the proportion of lung disease in COVID-19 survivors by analyzing chest CT scans and pulmonary function tests. The findings suggest that pulmonary fibrosis and other sequelae are common in COVID-19 patients during follow-up. However, caution should be exercised in interpreting the estimates due to heterogeneity and differences in study populations.

Summary: This study aimed to describe recovery one year after hospital discharge for COVID-19 and identify potential therapeutic targets by analyzing inflammatory profiles. The results showed that a significant proportion of patients did not fully recover one year after discharge. Female sex, obesity, and invasive mechanical ventilation were associated with lower likelihood of full recovery. Inflammation and obesity may be treatable traits that need further investigation in clinical trials.

The results showed that nintedanib did not improve oxygenation, chest X-ray findings, or the 60-day mortality. However, it did improve the SpO(2)/FiO(2) ratio in the patients. Further randomized controlled trials are needed to determine the efficacy of nintedanib for treatment of patients with post-COVID-19 lung fibrosis.

Results showed that over 55% of patients had normal or barely normal follow-up CT scans, while non-fibrotic and fibrotic abnormalities were found in around 37.5% and 4.4% of patients respectively. Ground-glass opacities were the most common finding in non-fibrotic changes, while subpleural reticulation and traction bronchiectasis were frequent in fibrotic abnormalities. Residual abnormalities extension decreased over time in patients with multiple timepoints available.

Healing after COVID-19: are survivors at risk for pulmonary fibrosis?

Lindsay T. McDonald

Summary: The novel SARS-CoV-2 coronavirus, responsible for COVID-19, was first reported in Wuhan, China, in December 2019, and the World Health Organization declared a pandemic by March 2020. Concerns have been raised about potential long-term effects of COVID-19 on respiratory health, but with limited data available, predictions on long-term outcomes remain speculative. Improved recognition of potential risk factors for fibrotic disease through studying previous coronavirus outbreaks is crucial in understanding the potential long-term implications of COVID-19.

Summary: The Swiss COVID-19 lung study investigated pulmonary sequelae of COVID-19 in 113 survivors. Severe/critical COVID-19 was associated with significant functional and radiological abnormalities 4 months after infection, potentially due to small-airway and lung parenchymal disease. Systematic follow-up for survivors needs to be evaluated to optimize care for patients recovering from COVID-19.

Summary: This study analyzed and compared CT findings and longitudinal variations after discharge in severe and non-severe COVID-19 patients, showing significant differences in the characteristics and changing trends of pulmonary sequelae between the two groups. Patients with severe/critical disease had more serious pulmonary sequelae and slower recovery compared to those with moderate disease. Some fibrosis-like findings were completely absorbed in patients with moderate and severe/critical diseases after discharge.

Summary: This study aimed to investigate the relationship between radiological features and pulmonary pathology in patients with COVID-19 pneumonia. The predominant pattern of pulmonary injury was diffuse alveolar damage and interstitial inflammation, with various histopathology features observed. Imaging features of COVID-19 pneumonia at the critically ill stage included diffuse ground-glass opacities with consolidation, interstitial thickening, and fibrous stripes, with fungal and bacterial co-infections also being observed. Typical imaging features were able to be correlated with underlying pathological findings.

The baseline Lung Severity Score and well-aerated lung volume at quantitative chest CT analysis performed well in predicting fibrosis-like changes after 6 months. Male sex, cough, lymphocytosis, and well-aerated lung volume at QCCT analysis were significant predictors of fibrosis-like changes at 6 months, showing an inverse correlation.
