Outcomes of acute respiratory distress syndrome in COVID-19 patients compared to the general population: a systematic review and meta-analysis.

Introduction: Acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS) due to coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) often leads to mortality. Outcomes of patients with COVID-19-related ARDS compared to ARDS unrelated to COVID-19 is not well characterized.

Areas Covered: We performed a systematic review of PubMed, Scopus, and MedRxiv 11/1/2019 to 3/1/2021, including studies comparing outcomes in COVID-19-related ARDS (COVID-19 group) and ARDS unrelated to COVID-19 (ARDS group).

Teaching health care innovation to medical students.

Background: To identify the efficacy of a design thinking and health care innovation course in improving medical students' self-awareness regarding design thinking metrics.

Methods: The assessment of the design thinking mindset was measured pre- and post-course. The target population included medical students at our institution participating in the Innovation & Design Thinking (IDT) course.
