Different neurological manifestations of coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) in adults and children their impact have not been well characterized. We aimed to determine the prevalence in-hospital complications among hospitalized COVID-19 patients ascertain differences between children. conducted a prospective multicentre observational study using International Severe Acute Respiratory emerging Infection Consortium (ISARIC) cohort across 1507 sites worldwide from 30 January 2020 25 May 2021....
Abstract Background We describe demographic features, treatments and clinical outcomes in the International Severe Acute Respiratory emerging Infection Consortium (ISARIC) COVID-19 cohort, one of world's largest international, standardized data sets concerning hospitalized patients. Methods The set analysed includes patients between January 2020 2022 52 countries. investigated how symptoms on admission, co-morbidities, risk factors varied by age, sex other characteristics. used Cox...
Abstract Background The ISARIC prospective multinational observational study is the largest cohort of hospitalized patients with COVID-19. We present relationships age, sex, and nationality to presenting symptoms. Methods International, 60 109 symptomatic laboratory-confirmed COVID-19 recruited from 43 countries between 30 January 3 August 2020. Logistic regression was performed evaluate age sex published case definitions most commonly reported Results ‘Typical’ symptoms fever (69%), cough...
Abstract The International Severe Acute Respiratory and Emerging Infection Consortium (ISARIC) COVID-19 dataset is one of the largest international databases prospectively collected clinical data on people hospitalized with COVID-19. This was compiled during pandemic by a network hospitals that collect using ISARIC-World Health Organization Clinical Characterization Protocol tools. database includes from more than 705,000 patients, in 60 countries 1,500 centres worldwide. Patient are...
Abstract Background Up to 30% of hospitalised patients with COVID-19 require advanced respiratory support, including high-flow nasal cannulas (HFNC), non-invasive mechanical ventilation (NIV), or invasive (IMV). We aimed describe the clinical characteristics, outcomes and risk factors for failing support in treated severe during first two years pandemic high-income countries (HICs) low middle-income (LMICs). Methods This is a multinational, multicentre, prospective cohort study embedded...
Abstract Background Heterogeneous respiratory system static compliance ( C RS ) values and levels of hypoxemia in patients with novel coronavirus disease (COVID-19) requiring mechanical ventilation have been reported previous small-case series or studies conducted at a national level. Methods We designed retrospective observational cohort study rapid data gathering from the international COVID-19 Critical Care Consortium to comprehensively describe —calculated as: tidal volume/[airway...
The high-quality evidence on managing COVID-19 patients requiring extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) support is insufficient. Furthermore, there little consensus allocating ECMO resources when scarce. paucity of and the need for guidance controversial topics required an international expert statement to understand role in better. Twenty-two experts worldwide work together interpret most recent findings evolving published research, formulation, voting achieve consensus.To guide next...
Pediatric population have been affected by the Coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) to a much smaller scale compared with adult population. The severity of is variable ranging from mild form pneumonia severe acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS) that necessitates admission intensive care unit (ICU) requiring maximal level organ support. Failure maximum support through mechanical ventilation can lead consideration higher extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO). We present case an 8...
The International Severe Acute Respiratory and Emerging Infection Consortium (ISARIC) is a global federation of clinical research networks that work collaboratively to prevent illness deaths from infectious disease outbreaks. In 2014, we proposed effective timely during outbreaks emerging infections would benefit pre-prepared tools, collaboration, research-ready networks.1 After applying this model several outbreaks, particularly the COVID-19 pandemic, can now explore what has been achieved date.
Coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) is caused by severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2), and lung involvement common. Patients with COVID-19 may progress to distress (ARDS) for which they require mechanical ventilation. When conventional ventilation strategies are unable achieve the desired oxygenation gas exchange, extracorporeal membrane (ECMO) might be an option in selected patients. The literature on use of ECMO peripartum women limited. We present a series ten...
Acute kidney injury (AKI) has been identified as one of the most common and significant problems in hospitalized patients with COVID-19. However, studies examining relationship between COVID-19 AKI low- low-middle income countries (LLMIC) are lacking. Given that is known to carry a higher mortality rate these countries, it important understand differences this population.
Abstract Background The role of neuromuscular blocking agents (NMBAs) in coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS) is not fully elucidated. Therefore, we aimed to investigate COVID-19 patients with moderate-to-severe ARDS the impact early use NMBAs on 90-day mortality, through propensity score (PS) matching analysis. Methods We analyzed a convenience sample and ARDS, admitted 244 intensive care units within Critical Care Consortium, from February 1, 2020,...
Research diversity and representativeness are paramount in building trust, generating valid biomedical knowledge, possibly implementing clinical guidelines.
By September 2022, more than 600 million cases of SARS-CoV-2 infection have been reported globally, resulting in over 6.5 deaths. COVID-19 mortality risk estimators are often, however, developed with small unrepresentative samples and methodological limitations. It is highly important to develop predictive tools for pulmonary embolism (PE) patients as one the most severe preventable complications COVID-19. Early recognition can help provide life-saving targeted anti-coagulation therapy right...
One of the ultrasonic features COVID-19 pneumonia is presence subpleural consolidation (SPC), and number SPCs varies among patients with pneumonia.To examine relationship between disease severity on admission. Methodology. This observational, prospective, single-center study included suspected infection who had been transferred to ICU. A specialized intensivist in critical care ultrasound performed lung (LUS) echocardiography within 12 hours a patient's admission The aeration score was...
BACKGROUND:There is scarce literature on point-of-care ultrasound (POCUS) assessment characteristics in coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pneumonia with hypoxic respiratory failure.METHODS: This study was an observational, prospective, single-center study, including adults suspected to have COVID-19 who were transferred the intensive care unit (ICU).An intensivist critical performed lung (LUS) and echocardiology within 12 hours of patients' admission ICU.We calculated trans mitral E/A...
Abstract Background Significant coagulopathy and hyperinflammation are found in patients with coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19). Expert consensus has recommended prophylactic anticoagulation COVID-19 due to the risk of thrombo-embolism. However, use therapeutic these is still a matter debate. Case summary We describe patient pneumonia clinical hyperinflammatory state. He developed early respiratory depression required ventilation, he subsequently haemodynamic instability. Point-of-care...
Invasive pulmonary aspsergillosis (IPA) is a well-known disease typically affecting severely immunocompromised patients. Recently, IPA has been described in new group of patients such as those infected with influenza. In this report, we would like to present case aspergillosis following influenza infection for the first time Kuwait, and raise awareness about unrecognized threatening co-infection.
The COVID-19 pandemic represents an unprecedented challenge to healthcare systems and nations across the world. Particularly challenging are lack of agreed-upon management guidelines variations in practice. Our hospital is a large, secondary-care government Kuwait, which has increased its capacity by approximately 28% manage care patients with COVID-19. surge necessitated redeployment staff who not well-trained such conditions. There was great need develop tool help redeployed...
