Elevated peripheral blood monocyte count is associated with prolonged postoperative hospitalization and functional decline in patients with interstitial lung diseases undergoing surgical lung biopsy.

Objective: Monocyte count and red cell distribution width (RDW) have shown prognostic potential in patients with fibrotic lung diseases. Their kinetics and prognostic usefulness of peripheral blood indices in patients with interstitial lung diseases (ILDs) undergoing surgical lung biopsy for diagnostic reasons have not been studied.

Patients And Methods: We retrospectively included consecutive patients with ILD who underwent surgical lung biopsy for diagnostic purposes Between 07/11/2019 and 11/10/2022.

Post-COVID-19 interstitial lung disease: Insights from a machine learning radiographic model.

Introduction: Post-acute sequelae of COVID-19 seem to be an emerging global crisis. Machine learning radiographic models have great potential for meticulous evaluation of post-COVID-19 interstitial lung disease (ILD).

Methods: In this multicenter, retrospective study, we included consecutive patients that had been evaluated 3 months following severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 infection between 01/02/2021 and 12/5/2022.

Clinical features and outcomes of patients with myositis associated-interstitial lung disease.

Introduction: Myositis associated interstitial lung disease (ILD) seems to be an under-recognized entity.

Methods: In this multicenter, retrospective study, we recorded between 9/12/2019 and 30/9/2021 consecutive patients who presented in five different ILD centers from two European countries (Greece, France) and received a multidisciplinary diagnosis of myositis associated-ILD. The primary outcome was all-cause mortality over 1 year in specific subgroups of patients.

Clinical outcomes in vaccinated and unvaccinated patients with COVID-19: a population-based analysis.

Objective: Real-life data for vaccination against COVID-19 are sorely needed. This was a population-based analysis aiming at investigating the hospitalization risk for COVID-19 of 98,982 subjects and compare features of vaccinated and unvaccinated patients.

Patients And Methods: Hospitalized patients with COVID-19 between 01/07/2021 and 11/02/2022 were included in the study.
