Presence of COVID-19 self-reported symptoms at 12 months in patients discharged from hospital in 2020-2021: a Spanish cross-sectional study.

The long-term effects of SARS-CoV-2 infection, and their determinants, are still unknown. This study aimed to assess symptoms one year after admission for COVID-19, according to the organ/system involved, and to identify factors. Cross-sectional study with retrospective data collection from March 2020 to February 2021.

Predictors of the presence of radiological abnormalities 6 months after severe COVID-19 pneumonia.

Background: SARS-CoV-2 pneumonia can cause significant long-term radiological changes, even resembling pulmonary fibrosis. However, the risk factors for these long-term effects are unknown. This study aims to assess radiological abnormalities and their possible risk factors six months after hospital discharge due to COVID-19 pneumonia.

One-year quality of life among post-hospitalization COVID-19 patients.

Introduction: The long-term effects of SARS-CoV-2 are unclear, as are the factors influencing the evolution. Objective: to assess health-related quality of life 1 year after a hospital admission due to COVID-19 and to identify factors that may influence it.

Materials And Methods: Retrospective observational study in a tertiary hospital from March 2021 to February 2022.

Protocol-directed weaning conventional weaning from mechanical ventilation for neurocritical patients in an intensive care unit: a nonrandomized quasi-experimental study.

Objective: To investigate whether protocol-directed weaning in neurocritical patients would reduce the rate of extubation failure (as a primary outcome) and the associated complications (as a secondary outcome) compared with conventional weaning.

Methods: A quasi-experimental study was conducted in a medical-surgical intensive care unit from January 2016 to December 2018. Patients aged 18 years or older with an acute neurological disease who were on mechanical ventilation > 24 hours were included.

Haemoadsorption Combined with Continuous Renal Replacement Therapy in Abdominal Sepsis: Case Report Series.

In recent decades, multiple efforts have been made to identify targets and therapeutic measures in the host response to infection. Haemoadsorption, under the attractive theoretical premise of inflammatory response modulation through the adsorption of soluble inflammatory mediators, could have a place as an adjuvant therapy in septic patients. The development of new devices and the recent COVID-19 pandemic has renewed interest in this therapy.

Noninvasive ventilation versus conventional oxygen therapy after extubation failure in high-risk patients in an intensive care unit: a pragmatic clinical trial.

Objective: To determine the effectiveness of noninvasive ventilation versus conventional oxygen therapy in patients with acute respiratory failure after extubation failure.

Methods: A pragmatic clinical trial was conducted in an intensive care unit from March 2009 to September 2016. Patients on mechanical ventilation > 24 hours who developed acute respiratory failure after scheduled extubation were included and were assigned to noninvasive ventilation or conventional oxygen therapy.
