Background: Age, sex, race and comorbidities are insufficient to explain why some individuals remain asymptomatic after SARS-CoV-2 infection, while others die. In this sense, the increased risk caused by the long-term exposure to air pollution is being investigated to understand the high heterogeneity of the COVID-19 infection course.
Objectives: We aimed to assess the underlying effect of long-term exposure to NO and PM on the severity and mortality of COVID-19.
Lipids are indispensable in the SARS-CoV-2 infection process. The clinical significance of plasma lipid profile during COVID-19 has not been rigorously evaluated. We aim to ascertain the association of the plasma lipid profile with SARS-CoV-2 infection clinical evolution.

Article Synopsis
- A study investigated the impact of statin therapy on in-hospital mortality for COVID-19 patients and found that statin users were older and had more health issues compared to non-users.
- The research involved analyzing data from 2,157 hospitalized patients with COVID-19, revealing that those on statins had a lower death rate (19.8%) compared to those not on statins (25.4%).
- The findings suggest that continuing statin therapy during hospitalization is beneficial and should not be halted due to concerns related to COVID-19.
