Introduction: Coronavirus disease-2019 (COVID-19), caused by severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus-2 (SARS-CoV-2), is causing dramatic morbidity and mortality worldwide. The Red Blood Cell Distribution Width (RDW) has been strongly associated with increased in multiple diseases. Objective: To assess if elevated RDW unfavorable outcomes hospitalized COVID-19. Methods: We retrospectively studied clinical of COVID-19 patients for their values. In-hospital was defined as primary outcome,...

OBJECTIVES: Anastomotic reconstruction following intestinal resection in Crohn's disease (CD) may employ side-to-side anastomosis (STSA; anti-peristaltic orientation) or end-to-end (ETEA). Our aim was to determine the impact of these two anastomotic techniques on long-term clinical status postoperative CD patients. METHODS: We performed a comparative effectiveness study prospectively collected observational data from consented patients undergoing their first second ileocolonic bowel and...

Severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus-2 may escape the inactivation by gastric acid because of hypochlorhydria caused proton pump inhibitors (PPIs), which could predispose patients to severe COVID-19.We studied association between prehospitalization PPI exposure and clinical outcomes among hospitalized COVID-19 patients.A total 295 were included in study. 15.6% on PPIs at home. Mortality PPI-users was 2.3 times higher than non-users, along with risk distress after adjusting for...

Abstract Coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID‐19) is caused by SARS‐CoV‐2 infection, which evolved into a global pandemic within short time. Individuals with sickle cell (SCD) suffer from underlying cardiopulmonary comorbidities and are at risk of severe complications such as pneumonia, acute chest syndrome, thrombosis, stroke, multiorgan failure. Whether COVID‐19 poses high morbidity mortality in SCD patients remains unclear. Patients can present overlapping clinical features respiratory...
