To describe the clinical characteristics, laboratory results, imaging findings, and in-hospital outcomes of COVID-19 patients admitted to Brazilian hospitals.A cohort study laboratory-confirmed who were hospitalized from March 2020 September in 25 hospitals. Data collected medical records using Research Electronic Capture (REDCap) tools. A multivariate Poisson regression model was used assess risk factors for mortality.For a total 2,054 (52.6% male; median age 58 years), mortality 22.0%;...
Although SARS-CoV-2 severe infection is associated with a hyperinflammatory state, lymphopenia an immunological hallmark, and correlates poor prognosis in COVID-19. However, it remains unknown if circulating human lymphocytes monocytes are susceptible to infection. In this study, of peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMCs) was investigated both vitro vivo . We found that whole PBMCs from healthy donors productive virus progeny. Results revealed monocytes, as well B T lymphocytes, active...
To assess whether high-dose coronavirus disease (COVID-19) convalescent plasma (CCP) transfusion may benefit patients with severe COVID-19, we conducted a multicenter randomized trial in Brazil. Patients COVID-19 who were within 10 days of initial symptom onset eligible. the CCP group received 3 daily doses (600 mL/d) addition to standard treatment; control treatment only. Primary outcomes death rates at 30 and 60 study randomization. Secondary ventilator-free hospital-free days. We enrolled...

Atrial fibrillation (AF) is a common cardiac arrhythmia with significant clinical outcomes, and associated high medical social costs. AF complicated for patients because of its specialised terminology, long-term adherence, symptom monitoring, referral to specialty care, array potential interventions adversity. Health literacy frequently under-recognised, yet fundamental, component towards successful care in AF. defined as the capacity obtain, process understand health information, has had...
: Hospitalized patients require the use of a variety drugs, many which individually or in combination have potential to cause kidney damage. The potentially nephrotoxic drugs is often unavoidable, and need for dose adjustment should be evaluated. This study aimed at assessing concordance information on drug-induced nephrotoxicity recommendations by comparing four drug sources (DRUGDEX®, UpToDate®, Medscape® Brazilian Therapeutic Formulary) using formulary public hospital. A total 218 were...
ABSTRACT Introduction Neutrophilia and high levels of proinflammatory cytokines other mediators inflammation are common finds in patients with severe acute respiratory syndrome due to COVID-19. By its action on leukocytes, we propose colchicine as an intervention worthy being tested. Objective To evaluate whether the addition standard treatment for COVID-19 results better outcomes. Methods We present interim analysis a single-center randomized, double-blinded, placebo controlled clinical...
<h3>Objective</h3> Health literacy has been related to health-related conditions and health outcomes. Studies examining the association of anticoagulation have had variable results. We sought investigate relations percentage time in therapeutic range (TTR) a vulnerable Brazilian cohort at two hospital-based clinics. <h3>Methods</h3> measured with Short Assessment Literacy for Portuguese-speaking Adults (SAHLPA-18) 2015–2016. identified demographic clinical characteristics associated TTR....
The aim of this study was to evaluate the psychometric properties Brazilian version Oral Anticoagulation Knowledge (OAK) Test. This study, conducted in an anticoagulation clinic, included 201 participants aged over 18 years, who had been using warfarin for more than two months. reliability instrument evaluated by assessing internal consistency (Kuder-Richardson coefficient) and reproducibility (test-retest reliability). validity hypothesizing that there would be a positive correlation...
Evidence indicates a difference between men and women in oral anticoagulation control, but the results were discrepant. This study investigated association of sex with control patients on warfarin assisted by clinics (ACs) Brazil. The cross-sectional included recruited at three public ACs southeast Brazil (2014-2015). quality was estimated time therapeutic range (TTR). Univariable multivariable linear regression models built to examine sociodemographic, behavior, clinical, drug therapy...
