Article Synopsis
- The COVID-19 pandemic posed significant health challenges, prompting a study on the potential benefits of surfactant therapy for patients with acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS) caused by the virus.
- Researchers conducted a detailed search for relevant studies, analyzing data from various databases to assess the impact of surfactant therapy on mortality and hospitalization lengths in COVID-19 patients with ARDS.
- The study, including four studies with 126 patients, indicated that surfactant therapy may lead to lower hospitalization times and mortality rates, although the mortality difference wasn't statistically significant, highlighting the need for further research with larger sample sizes to validate these findings.
Objective: To emphasize the necessity for increased research in this field, incorporating depression into the preventative, diagnostic, and therapeutic considerations for asthma. Additionally, we seek to highlight upcoming advancements that can be applied to simultaneously address these comorbidities, ultimately improving the overall well-being and quality of life for individuals coping with these conditions.
Methods: A rigorous search in PubMed using the MeSH terms "asthma" and "depression" was performed, and papers were screened by the authors in view of their eligibility to contribute to the study.
