Background In COVID-19 patients the progressive clinical deterioration seems secondary to activation of a cytokine storm. Ferritin is considered direct mediator immune system and some evidences suggested shared physio-pathogenic basis between 'Hyperferritinemic Syndromes.' The aim our study was evaluate prognostic role ferritin in patients.
Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) and heart failure (HF) are two of the most common conditions treated in internal medicine. Although it is known that these diseases often coexist, specific characteristics affected patients prognostic implications not yet well understood. Managing with both COPD HF requires an integrated treatment approach. The aim study was to examine association between HF. We conducted a prospective observational cohort study. All consenting admitted Internal...
Abstract The rising prevalence of chronic diseases have contributed to a population with high complexity care. There has been an increasing need for new organizational model based on the interaction in same department between specialist skills surgical and medical disciplines. This study aims describe implementation hospitalist co-management program Neurosurgery Department (ND) its impact incidence complications, 30 days readmission rate causes, number transfers Intensive Care Units...
Acute exacerbation of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (AECOPD) is a major cause hospitalization and mortality worldwide. While blood eosinophils have been suggested as prognostic biomarker COPD, their predictive value in AECOPD remains uncertain. This meta-analysis aims to evaluate the role eosinophil counts predicting hospital readmission these patients. A systematic review were conducted according PRISMA guidelines. We included studies that evaluated AECOPD, with predefined cut-offs....
Acute pancreatitis, the most frequent hospitalization reason in internal medicine ward among gastrointestinal diseases, is burdened by high mortality rate. The disease manifests mainly a mild form, but about 20-30% patients have severe progress that requires intensive care. Patients presenting with acute pancreatitis should be clinically evaluated for organ failure signs and symptoms. Stratifying first days from symptoms onset essential to determine therapy care setting. aim of our study...
Background: Multi-drug resistant organisms (MDRO) are an emerging health problem with important impact on clinical outcome in Intensive Care Units (ICUs) and immunocompromised patients. Conversely, the role of MDRO colonization Internal Medicine is less clear. The objective our study to evaluate (namely sepsis development, in-hospital 30-days mortality, re-hospitalization) Medicine. Methods: Patients admitted Unit between January 2019 March 2020 were potentially includible. Outcomes patients...
Background : The diagnosis of Covid 19 is made by the detection viral RNA PCR on nasopharyngeal swabs. In some patients test falsely negative, while other biological samples are positive. aim study to identify characteristics and prognostic factors for swab negativity in COVID-19 with BA-confirmed disease. Materials methods Multicentric retrospective case-control admitted between March November 2020 two internal medicine units AOU Careggi Internal Medicine Hospital Varese. Were enrolled aged...
<b>Aim:</b> The aim of this study was to evaluate the accuracy MDT (multi disciplinary team) diagnosis COVID-19 with negative nasal swabs. BAL considered diagnostic gold standard. Methods:This is an interim analysis a substudy Dragon project (IMI2 - Call 21;#101005122). All consecutive patients admitted at Florence University Hospital for suspected COVID-19, that resulted two swabs, underwent BAL. MDTs different expertise levels were asked provide provisional (up three choices allowed),...
