Autopsy findings in cancer patients infected with SARS-CoV-2 show a milder presentation of COVID-19 compared to non-cancer patients.

COVID-19, caused by SARS-CoV-2, manifests with differing severity across distinct patient subgroups, with outcomes influenced by underlying comorbidities such as cancer, which may cause functional and compositional alterations of the immune system during tumor progression. We aimed to investigate the association of SARS-CoV-2 infection and its complications with cancer in a large autopsy series and the role of COVID-19 in the fatal sequence leading to death. A total of 2641 adult autopsies were investigated, 539 of these were positive for SARS-CoV-2.

Associations between diabetes and cancer: A 10-year national population-based retrospective cohort study.

Aims: To investigate the risk of cancer in people with diabetes compared to the population without diabetes and to gain insight into the timely association between diabetes and cancer at national level.

Methods: A retrospective cohort study was conducted to analyse the role of diabetes in the development of cancer, based on service utilisation and antidiabetic dispensing data of the population between 2010 and 2021. Univariate and multivariate Cox regression were used to examine how diabetes status, in relationship with age and sex are related to the time to cancer diagnosis.

[Analysis of the practices and influencing factors of referral to inpatient rehabilitation following hip fractures based on data from the Hungarian healthcare funding database].

Introduction: Hip fractures heavily burden healthcare systems in aging populations. The health and quality of life of the patients depend not only on the acute care, but on rehabilitation practices as well. There is insufficient data on Hungarian rehabilitation rates following hip fracture surgeries.

[Aggregate causes of adverse events and possible methods to mitigate them within healthcare: Results and lessons learned based on the reports sent to the Hungarian NEVES reporting and learning system].

Unlabelled: Összefoglaló. Bevezetés: Hazánkban 2007-ben indult el a NEVES (NEm Várt ESemények) rendszer, amelybe az eltelt időszakban több mint 26,5 ezer nemkívánatos eseményre vonatkozó jelentés érkezett. A jelentések feldolgozásával hét témakörben készültek oki kutatások és ajánlások a feltárt okok megelőzésére.
