Article Synopsis
  • The study examined whether inhaled corticosteroids affect the severity and mortality of COVID-19 pneumonia among patients with chronic asthma and COPD.
  • It was a retrospective observational study, comparing two groups: one that used inhaled corticosteroids and one that did not, finding no significant difference in pneumonia severity between the groups.
  • Key risk factors for mortality included increasing age, mechanical ventilation, severe pneumonia, interstitial lung disease, and the use of prone position, while inhaled corticosteroid use did not correlate with increased severity or mortality.

Background: Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) is a common chronic inflammatory lung disease with high mortality and morbidity rates. Obesity, various comorbid diseases, and inflammation often coexist in chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), exhibiting a complex interaction with disease severity. The aim of the study was to examine the relationship between COPD markers and obesity, the Charlson Comorbidity Index (CCI), and neutrophil/lymphocyte ratio (NLR).

Introduction: Pneumothorax (PTX) and pneumomediastinum (PM) are frequently encountered in patients with Coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) and complicate the management of these patients. In this study, we aimed to evaluate the risk factors that cause PTX/PM complications in patients hospitalized due to COVID-19 pneumonia and the effects of these complications on the course of the disease.

Materials And Methods: A total of 503 patients with COVID-19 hospitalized in the COVID-19 ward or intensive care unit (ICU) between September 2020 and December 2020 were included in the study.
