The Simplified Acute Physiology Score (SAPS) 3 is a reliable score to predict mortality. This study aims investigate the predictive values of SAPS and other clinical parameters for death in critically ill coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) patients.This prospective tertiary hospital patients who required intensive care due COVID-19 infection northeast Brazil. Two distinct groups were constructed according epidemiological data: first wave second wave. severity admitted was estimated using...
The COVID-19 pandemic has challenged the entire world, and patients with diabetes mellitus (DM) have been particularly affected. We aimed to evaluate predictors of mortality during first 30 days hospitalization in critically ill comorbid DM. This prospective study included 110 admitted infection. Thirty-two (29%) had a previous diagnosis Clinical variables, laboratory tests, vascular biomarkers, such as VCAM-1, syndecan-1, ICAM-1, angiopoietin-1, angiopoeitin-2, were evaluated after...
Objective: To assess whether the use of ELMO, a helmet for noninvasive ventilation created in Brazil, had positive impact on prognosis patients with hypoxemic respiratory failure caused by severe COVID-19. Methods: This is retrospective study 50 critically ill COVID-19 patients. Epidemiological, clinical, and laboratory data were collected ICU admission, as well before, during, after ELMO use. Patients divided into two groups (success failure) according to outcome. Results: improved...
The clinical picture of coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19)-associated sepsis is similar to that other aetiologies. present study aims analyse the role syndecan-1 (SDC-1) as a potential predictor septic shock in critically ill patients with COVID-19.
<b><i>Introduction:</i></b> The aim of this was to evaluate the function vascular biomarkers predict need for hemodialysis in critically ill patients with COVID-19. <b><i>Methods:</i></b> This is a prospective study 58 due COVID-19 infection. Laboratory tests general and biomarkers, such as VCAM-1, syndecan-1, angiopoietin-1, angiopoietin-2, were quantified on intensive care unit (ICU) admission. <b><i>Results:</i></b>...
