Clustering based on renal and inflammatory admission parameters in critically ill patients admitted to the ICU.

Introduction: The COVID-19 pandemic has been associated with significant variability in acute kidney injury (AKI) incidence, leading to concerns regarding patient heterogeneity. The study's primary objective was a cluster analysis, to identify homogeneous subgroups of patients (clusters) using baseline characteristics, including inflammatory biomarkers. The secondary objectives were the comparisons of MAKE-90 and mortality between the different clusters at three months.

Hypercoagulability in critically ill patients with COVID 19, an observational prospective study.

Objective: COVID 19 is often associated with hypercoagulability and thromboembolic (TE) events. The aim of this study was to assess the characteristics of hypercoagulability and its relationship with new-onset TE events and the composite outcome of need for intubation and/or death in intensive care unit (ICU) patients admitted for COVID.

Design: Prospective observational study.

Association of nitrogen balance trajectories with clinical outcomes in critically ill COVID-19 patients: A retrospective cohort study.

Background & Aims: The intensity and duration of the catabolic phase in COVID-19 patients can differ between survivors and non-survivors. The purpose of the study was to assess the determinants of, and association between, nitrogen balance trajectories and outcome in critically ill COVID-19 patients.

Methods: This retrospective monocentric observational study involved patients admitted to the intensive care unit (ICU) of the University Hospital of Clermont Ferrand, France, from January 2020 to May 2021 for COVID-19 pneumonia.
