Article Synopsis
- Cavities in Mycobacterium avium complex pulmonary disease (MAC-PD) indicate a higher disease burden and worse outcomes, but their behavior during treatment is not fully understood.
- In a study of 136 patients treated for MAC-PD, cavity obliteration was linked to a higher rate of microbiological cure (54.4% achieved it after treatment).
- The study found that significant cavity reduction is associated with better outcomes, including lower mortality rates, making cavity changes a potential indicator for treatment response in MAC-PD.
Background/aims: Risk factors for progression to critical illness in hospital-acquired coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) remain unknown. Here, we assessed the incidence and risk factors for progression to critical illness and determined their effects on clinical outcomes in patients with hospital-acquired COVID-19.
Methods: This retrospective cohort study analyzed patients admitted to the tertiary hospital between January 2020 and June 2022 with confirmed hospital-acquired COVID-19.
