Article Synopsis
- - The study investigates the relationship between COVID-19 and heart failure (HF), focusing on identifying risk factors for HF among hospitalized COVID-19 patients in Spain.
- - A total of 16,474 patients were analyzed, with 5.8% developing HF; significant risk factors included older age, atrial fibrillation, obesity, and peripheral vascular disease.
- - Patients who developed HF had notably higher mortality rates, increased need for intubation, and higher ICU admission rates compared to those who did not develop HF.
"Retractile mesenteritis" was the first name given to a rare, benign, inflammatory disease that affects the adipose tissue of the intestinal mesentery and less frequently other locations. Now labeled as mesenteric panniculitis, the pathogenic mechanism remains unclear. Several stimuli could be involved, and it is sometimes associated with other conditions such as malignancy or autoimmune diseases.

Objective: The present study aims to compare three classificatory and predictive models: the WHO ordinal severity scale, the model based on inflammation grades, and the hybrid model.
