Article Synopsis
- The study analyzed COVID-19 hospital admissions from 2020 in Spain, focusing on older patients during two pandemic waves, to evaluate mortality differences.
- Results showed a mortality rate of 20.4% during the first wave and 17.2% during the second wave, particularly among patients aged 70 and older, who had a significant mortality reduction of 7.6%.
- The lower mortality in the second wave may be due to improved healthcare standards, greater clinical experience, or less strain on the healthcare system, independent of patient or disease severity.
Objectives: The aim of this study was to analyze whether subgroups of immunosuppressive (IS) medications conferred different outcomes in COVID-19.
Methods: The study involved a multicenter retrospective cohort of consecutive immunosuppressed patients (ISPs) hospitalized with COVID-19 from March to July, 2020. The primary outcome was in-hospital mortality.
Background: There has been little in the way of study of nonagenarians with acute kidney injury (AKI, defined in lines with KDIGO guidelines), but the rise in their life expectancy makes further study of this population necessary. The aim of this study is to assess mortality in nonagenarians with AKI during hospitalization.
Methods: In this retrospective study, patients with AKI during hospitalization between 2013-2014 were included.
Background: The increase in life expectancy leads to higher hospitalisation rates in elderly patients. The aim of this work is to study the characteristics of the population over 90 years of age that are admitted due to acute kidney injury (AKI).
Material And Methods: A cross-sectional study was conducted that included all patients admitted to hospital with AKI in the years 2013 and 2014.
