Article Synopsis
- Common Variable Immunodeficiency (CVID) is a diverse group of primary immunodeficiency disorders that presents a wide range of clinical challenges, including significant non-infectious health issues among patients.
- A nationwide study in Spain over three years examined 250 CVID patients, revealing a diagnostic delay of about 10 years, with infectious complications initially predominant, though non-infectious lung diseases and immune disorders were more common overall.
- The study highlighted a high prevalence of associated conditions, such as benign lymphoproliferation and cancers, indicating a need for further research to develop better treatment strategies and improve the quality of life for those affected by CVID.
Introduction: Postintensive care syndrome (PICS) is the physical, cognitive or psychiatric deterioration that appears after a critical illness and persists beyond hospital admission. The objective of this study was to describe the prevalence of PICS in the patients with coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) admitted to the intensive care unit of the Consorcio Hospital General Universitario de Valencia.
Patients: They benefited from a standardized assessment, addressing health-related quality of life (EuroQol-5D-3L), a physical status (6 MWT, "test up and go" and hand dynamometer), a nutritional assessment (MUST and the Global Subjective Assessment), cognitive impairment (MoCA), mental health disorders (HADS and Davidson Trauma Scale) and pain (visual analogue scale and DN4).
Introduction: The Spanish Society of Immunology recently warned that a history of past COVID-19 could result in a higher incidence of adverse events (AEs) related to vaccination. We set out to analyze whether there were any differences in AEs between healthcare workers vaccinated for COVID-19 (either after the first or second dose) who had had a prior diagnosis SARS-CoV-2 infection at any time compared to those who had not had COVID-19 before vaccination.
Methods: This was a retrospective cohort study in a population of healthcare workers.

Abnormal liver chemistry constitutes an independent prognostic factor of less favorable clinical course in patients with COVID-19.

Introduction: abnormal liver biochemistry (ALB) is correlated with increased clinical involvement or severity in COVID-19, but its prognostic implications have not been studied extensively. The aim of this study was to determine whether ALB is a risk factor for unfavorable clinical outcome and involvement.
Materials And Methods: a retrospective, single-center study in confirmed COVID-19 cases.
