Hospital and intensive care unit stay associated with body mass index affect cardiorespiratory fitness in patients with COVID-19.

Background: The effects of coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) on the cardiorespiratory fitness of hospitalized and obese patients are of utmost relevance. This study aimed to analyze how hospital and intensive care unit (ICU) stay together with body mass index affect cardiorespiratory fitness in patients with COVID-19.

Methods: 251 participants (males, = 118; females, = 133) were assigned to four groups: non-hospitalized COVID-19 patients ( = 65, age: 45.

Effects of a telerehabilitation program and detraining on cardiorespiratory fitness in patients with post-COVID-19 sequelae: A randomized controlled trial.

Background: This study aimed to evaluate the effects of a 15-week telerehabilitation program and a detraining period on cardiorespiratory fitness and mechanical efficiency in patients with post-COVID-19 sequelae.

Methods: 131 patients with post-COVID-19 sequelae were randomly assigned to one of two groups: patients who carried out the supervised telerehabilitation program (TRG, n = 66) and a control group (CG, n = 65). An incremental cardiopulmonary exercise testing (CPET) was performed on cycle ergometer to compare cardioventilatory responses between experimental groups.

Impact of Lymphocyte and Neutrophil Counts on Mortality Risk in Severe Community-Acquired Pneumonia with or without Septic Shock.

Background: Community-acquired pneumonia (CAP) is a frequent cause of death worldwide. As recently described, CAP shows different biological endotypes. Improving characterization of these endotypes is needed to optimize individualized treatment of this disease.
