Article Synopsis
- - The study investigates the relationship between COVID-19 and heart failure (HF), focusing on identifying risk factors for HF among hospitalized COVID-19 patients in Spain.
- - A total of 16,474 patients were analyzed, with 5.8% developing HF; significant risk factors included older age, atrial fibrillation, obesity, and peripheral vascular disease.
- - Patients who developed HF had notably higher mortality rates, increased need for intubation, and higher ICU admission rates compared to those who did not develop HF.
Background: Cardiac amyloidosis (CA) could be a common cause of heart failure (HF). The objective of the study was to estimate the prevalence of CA in patients with HF.
Methods: Observational, prospective, and multicenter study involving 30 Spanish hospitals.
Introduction: Thyroid eye disease (TED) is a complex and incompletely understood rare autoimmune disorder.
Objectives: To analyze the experience and the outcomes obtained with the use of intravenous tocilizumab in the treatment of TED.
Methods: A retrospective analysis of adult patients diagnosed with active TED resistant to intravenous corticosteroids treated in a tertiary hospital between May 2012 and May 2021.
(1) Background: This work aims to analyze clinical outcomes according to ethnic groups in patients hospitalized for COVID-19 in Spain. (2) Methods: This nationwide, retrospective, multicenter, observational study analyzed hospitalized patients with confirmed COVID-19 in 150 Spanish hospitals (SEMI-COVID-19 Registry) from 1 March 2020 to 31 December 2021. Clinical outcomes were assessed according to ethnicity (Latin Americans, Sub-Saharan Africans, Asians, North Africans, Europeans).

Objective: To compare severity scores used for community-acquired pneumonia to identify high-risk patients with COVID-19 pneumonia.
Design: PSI, CURB-65, qSOFA, and MuLBSTA, a new score for viral pneumonia, were calculated on admission to hospital to identify high-risk patients for in-hospital mortality, admission to an intensive care unit (ICU), or use of mechanical ventilation.
The Prognostic Value of Eosinophil Recovery in COVID-19: A Multicentre, Retrospective Cohort Study on Patients Hospitalised in Spanish Hospitals.
J Clin Med
January 2021
Objectives: A decrease in blood cell counts, especially lymphocytes and eosinophils, has been described in patients with serious Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome Coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2), but there is no knowledge of their potential role of the recovery in these patients' prognosis. This article aims to analyse the effect of blood cell depletion and blood cell recovery on mortality due to COVID-19.
Design: This work was a retrospective, multicentre cohort study of 9644 hospitalised patients with confirmed COVID-19 from the Spanish Society of Internal Medicine's SEMI-COVID-19 Registry.
Objectives: To compare the main characteristics of two inception cohorts (Italian [ITC] and Spanish [SPC]) cohorts of patients with systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) at the time of diagnosis and at one year of follow-up.
Methods: Demographic, clinical and immunological characteristics, and treatments at SLE diagnosis and at 12 months of follow-up of ITC and SPC were compared.
Results: One hundred and sixty-four patients in the ITC and 231 patients in the SPC were compared.
Listeria monocytogenes can cause invasive disease in immunocompromised patients. We have retrospectively reviewed the clinical characteristics, treatment and evolution of the cases of listeriosis registered at our center during a long period of 14 years. Listeria monocytogenes infection is potentially serious with high mortality.

Methods: We analyze two cases diagnosed in our center and performed a literature review.
Result: IgG4 related disease is a recently described entity that includes previously not related pathologies.
