Anthropometric Measurements and Admission Parameters as Predictors of Acute Respiratory Distress Syndrome in Hospitalized COVID-19 Patients.

: We aimed to single out admission predictors of acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS) in hospitalized COVID-19 patients and investigate the role of bioelectrical impedance (BIA) measurements in ARDS development. : An observational, prospective cohort study was conducted on 407 consecutive COVID-19 patients hospitalized at the University Clinical Center Kragujevac between September 2021 and March 2022. Patients were followed during the hospitalization, and ARDS was observed as a primary endpoint.

The functional consequences in severe and critical covid-19 survivors - A pilot study.

Purpose: To perform pulmonary function tests (PFT) in severe COVID-19 survivors one and five months after hospital discharge in order to assess the lung function, as well to identify clinical characteristics and PFT parameters associated with worse cardiopulmonary exercise testing (CPET).

Material And Methods: A prospective study included 75 patients with severe form of COVID-19. PFT was conducted one and five months after hospital discharge, in addition to CPET in a second assessment.

Admission Predictors of Mortality in Hospitalized COVID-19 Patients-A Serbian Cohort Study.

Background: Early prediction of COVID-19 patients’ mortality risk may be beneficial in adequate triage and risk assessment. Therefore, we aimed to single out the independent morality predictors of hospitalized COVID-19 patients among parameters available on hospital admission. Methods: An observational, retrospective−prospective cohort study was conducted on 703 consecutive COVID-19 patients hospitalized in the University Clinical Center Kragujevac between September and December 2021.

The Role of Bioelectrical Impedance Analysis in Predicting COVID-19 Outcome.

Background: Published data regarding the impact of obesity on COVID-19 outcomes are inconsistent. However, in most studies, body composition was assessed using body mass index (BMI) alone, thus neglecting the presence and distribution of adipose tissue. Therefore, we aimed to investigate the impact of body and visceral fat on COVID-19 outcomes.

[Acute renal failure in patients with tumour lysis sindrome].

`Hematologic malignancies (leukemia, lymphoma, multiple myeloma, et al.), as well as solid tumours (renal, liver, lung, ovarian, etc.), can lead to acute or chronic renal failure.

Clinical trial/experimental study (consort compliant): Optimal time period to achieve the effects on synbiotic-controlled wheezing and respiratory infections in young children.

Introduction: Urban life is often followed by immune dysfunction and loss of immune tolerance in the youngest children.

Objective: The study aimed to determine optimal time efficiency of a synbiotic (5 x 10⁹ Lactobacillus acidophilus Rosell-52, Bifidobacterium infantis Rosell-33, Bifidobacterium bifidum Rosell-71) in controlling respiratory infections and wheezing disease.

Methods: We randomly selected a group of children younger than five years, hospitalized earlier, and classified them into three groups.
