Background: The accuracy of estimation of kidney function with the use of routine metabolic tests, such as measurement of the serum creatinine level, has been controversial. The European Kidney Function Consortium (EKFC) developed a creatinine-based equation (EKFC eGFRcr) to estimate the glomerular filtration rate (GFR) with a rescaled serum creatinine level (i.e.

- The study investigated the characteristics of patients who experienced respiratory complaints and lung issues after being hospitalized for COVID-19, focusing on their symptoms, radiologic findings, and functional impairments.
- Out of 478 hospital survivors evaluated, 16.3% reported new-onset dyspnoea and 4.8% reported a new cough, with those experiencing dyspnoea being younger and having had more severe cases of COVID-19.
- Fibrotic lung lesions were found in 19.3% of the patients assessed later, primarily among older individuals who had undergone ICU treatment; however, the combination of dyspnoea, fibrotic lesions, and significant lung function impairment was relatively rare.
Background: Viral respiratory infections are the main causes of asthma exacerbation. The susceptibility of patients with asthma to develop an exacerbation when they present with severe pneumonia due to severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) infection is unknown. The objective of this study was to investigate the characteristics and outcomes of asthmatic patients with coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pneumonia who required hospitalisation during the spring 2020 outbreak in Paris, France.
