Article Synopsis
- The study investigates the link between sFlt-1 levels and adverse maternal outcomes in pregnant women with COVID-19, specifically focusing on those with and without hypertensive disorders.
- The researchers conducted a multicenter retrospective cohort study with 148 pregnant women, using statistical methods to analyze the data and identify key predictors of adverse outcomes.
- Results indicate that higher sFlt-1 levels and the presence of hypertensive disorders significantly increase the risk of adverse outcomes, highlighting sFlt-1 as an independent predictor regardless of hypertension status.
Article Synopsis
- Cardiomyocyte injury and elevated troponin T levels in COVID-19 patients are linked to a worse prognosis, particularly among those who are pregnant.
- The study analyzed the relationship between troponin T levels in severely ill COVID-19 pregnant women and their risk of complications like viral sepsis, ICU admission, or maternal death.
- Among 87 pregnant patients, a significant correlation was found between high troponin T levels and maternal death, suggesting that elevated troponin T can be a critical indicator of severe pneumonia and increased mortality risk in this group.
