Identification of Parameters Representative of Immune Dysfunction in Patients with Severe and Fatal COVID-19 Infection: a Systematic Review and Meta-analysis

Rundong Qin et al.

Summary: Abnormal immunological indicators are associated with disease severity and mortality in patients with COVID-19. This meta-analysis synthesized the findings of many studies and found that cytokine levels, white blood cell count, and inflammatory markers were significantly increased in severely ill patients or non-survivors. Conversely, lymphocyte count, monocyte count, and other indicators were significantly increased in non-severely ill patients or survivors. Impaired immune response and increased inflammation, coagulation dysfunction, and nonpulmonary organ injury were marked features of patients with poor prognosis. Parameters of immune response dysfunction combined with inflammatory, coagulated, or nonpulmonary organ injury indicators may be more sensitive to predict severe patients and non-survivors.

Immune responses in mildly versus critically ill COVID-19 patients

Hamid Nasrollahi et al.

Summary: The COVID-19 pandemic caused by SARS-CoV-2 has had devastating effects on global health and the economy. The immune system plays a critical role in controlling the infection, but dysregulated inflammatory responses and imbalanced immune function can contribute to tissue damage and disease pathogenesis. Important mechanisms in severe COVID-19 include excessive production of inflammatory cytokines, impaired antiviral response, overactivation of immune cells, decreased frequencies of certain immune cell populations, complement activation, lymphopenia, and dysregulation of B lymphocyte function. Manipulating the immune system has been explored as a therapeutic approach. This review discusses the role of immunity in COVID-19 development and progression, focusing on molecular and cellular aspects of the immune system in mild versus severe forms of the disease. Immune-based therapeutic approaches are also being investigated.

The Role of Inflammatory Cytokines (Interleukin-1 and Interleukin-6) as a Potential Biomarker in the Different Stages of COVID-19 (Mild, Severe, and Critical)

Mina Ghofrani Nezhad et al.

Summary: Cytokine storm refers to the overproduction of immune and inflammatory cells and their proteins (cytokines) causing acute respiratory distress syndrome in COVID-19. Higher levels of IL-6 and IL-1 levels might be seen in patients with COVID-19 at each stage. IL-6 levels are an independent predictor of COVID-19 illness and Anakinra and tocilizumab (TCZ) are beneficial in lowering mortality in COVID-19 patients.

Hyperinflammatory Response in COVID-19: A Systematic Review

Marcos Jesse Abrahao Silva et al.

Summary: This research aimed to review the immunopathological elements that contribute to the progression of COVID-19. A systematic review was conducted using various databases and search terms. The study identified several key factors, such as SARS-CoV-2 spike proteins, cellular proteases, leukocytes, cytokines, and proteolytic cascades, that play a role in the hyperinflammatory response and subsequent complications. It is important to control the dysregulation of the immune response and systemic inflammation for patients' recovery.

Serial Changes in Blood-Cell-Count-Derived and CRP-Derived Inflammatory Indices of COVID-19 Patients

Maryam B. B. Khadzhieva et al.

Summary: The aim of this study was to investigate the serial changes in inflammatory indices in COVID-19 patients and their correlation with outcomes. Retrospective analysis of 169 patients showed that non-survivors had higher CRP to lymphocytes ratio (CLR) and multi-inflammatory index (MII) values on admission, while the largest differences between survivors and non-survivors were seen in neutrophil to lymphocyte ratio (NLR), systemic inflammation response index (SIRI), and MII at discharge/death. The correlation between the indices and outcome was observed starting from days 13-15, and the changes in index values over time were more helpful in predicting outcomes than those measured on admission.

Comparison of Clinical Features, Complete Blood Count Parameters, and Outcomes between Two Distinct Waves of COVID-19: A Monocentric Report from Italy

Sara Solveig Fois et al.

Summary: This study compared the clinical features and blood cell count values of COVID-19 patients between two different waves. The fourth-wave patients were older, had fewer male patients, and more comorbidities compared to the second-wave patients. The study found that both admission values of CBC-derived indexes and adverse respiratory outcomes decreased from the second to the fourth wave of COVID-19. These findings contribute to our understanding of the role of CBC-derived indexes in helping clinicians identify hospitalized patients at increased risk of serious illness and death.

Summary: The study demonstrated that AISI is a predictor for severity and ICU admission in COVID-19 patients, SII is a predictor of survival, while NLPR and SIRI have an additive role that requires further evaluation. Among the hematological ratios studied, SII had the highest specificity (95.6%) and NLPR had the highest sensitivity (61.3%) in predicting ICU admission of COVID-19 patients. Age, AISI, CRP, D-dimer, and oxygen aid were identified as independent predictors for ICU admission in COVID-19 patients.
