Thrombocytopenia Secondary to COVID-19: Outcomes Analysis in Terms of Thrombotic Microangiopathy, Acute Kidney Injury, and Mortality.

: COVID-19 usually complicates respiratory failure; microvascular, macrovascular, and renal complications are common. Both micro and macrovascular complications are associated with multi-organ dysfunction and in-hospital mortality. Thrombotic microangiopathy (TMA) causes microvascular thromboses associated with organ failure, including acute kidney injury (AKI).

Helping a Patient With a Pre-Existing Mental Health Condition Cope With Depression and COVID-19 Using the Neuman Systems Model: A Single Intrinsic Case Study.

Nursing theories and conceptual models shape nursing knowledge. This study applied the philosophical and theoretical basis of the Neuman Systems Model, which focuses on the use of primary, secondary, and tertiary nursing prevention for retention, attainment, and maintenance of patient system wellness, to a patient with pre-existing mental health conditions struggling to cope with depression and COVID-19 in a dedicated COVID-19 hospital in an urban area of Iran. The single intrinsic case study design used interviews, nursing observations, and document analysis to evaluate environmental factors and intra-, inter-, and extra-personal stressors.

On-Admission Anemia and Survival Rate in COVID-19 Patients.

Anemia often worsens the severity of respiratory illnesses, and few studies have so far elucidated the impact of anemia on COVID-19 infection. This study aimed to evaluate the effect of anemia at admission on the overall survival of COVID-19 patients using accelerated failure time (AFT) models. This registry-based, single-center retrospective cohort study was conducted in a university hospital in Ilam, the southwest of Iran, between March 2020 and September 2021.
