Article Synopsis
- The study aimed to assess the impact of right ventricular (RV) structure and function on in-hospital outcomes like mortality and ICU admission in COVID-19 patients without prior pulmonary hypertension.
- It involved analyzing records from 997 patients, with 194 undergoing echocardiography; overall mortality was 27%, with higher rates observed in the ICU.
- Results indicated that RV dilatation and decreased RV systolic function are associated with increased mortality, particularly in ICU patients who did not require additional mechanical support.
Background Coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) is widely recognized as a disease that affects the respiratory system, although it can also present with significant extrapulmonary symptoms. Very few studies have suggested an increased risk of gastrointestinal (GI) bleeding. This study aimed to elucidate the incidence, etiology, risk factors, and outcomes of clinically significant GI bleeding requiring endoscopic intervention in patients with COVID-19.

Objectives Our study aims to assess the clinical characteristics and outcomes of COVID-19 patients undergoing early intubation compared to those undergoing late intubation. Methods This is a single-center retrospective study of adult COVID-19 patients admitted between March 1, 2020 and January 10, 2021.
