Hospitalized COVID-19 patients exhibit diverse immune responses during acute infection, which are associated with a wide range of clinical outcomes. However, understanding these immune heterogeneities and their links to various clinical complications, especially long COVID, remains a challenge. In this study, we performed unsupervised subtyping of longitudinal multi-omics immunophenotyping in over 1,000 hospitalized patients, identifying two critical subtypes linked to mortality or mechanical ventilation with prolonged hospital stay and three severe subtypes associated with timely acute recovery.

- Chronic viral infections can reactivate during acute illnesses, and this study looked at how SARS-CoV-2 infection affects latent viruses like Epstein-Barr Virus (EBV) and cytomegalovirus (CMV) in over 1,154 hospitalized COVID-19 patients.* -
- The analysis showed significant reactivation of multiple virus families during the acute stage of COVID-19, which correlated with disease severity, demographics, and clinical outcomes, including higher mortality rates.* -
- Additionally, persistent viral reactivation after recovery was linked to ongoing symptoms of Post-Acute Sequelae of COVID-19 (PASC), emphasizing the importance of understanding these interactions for better treatment and management strategies.*
Changes in massive transfusion over time: an early shift in the right direction?
J Trauma Acute Care Surg
January 2012
Background: Increasing evidence suggests that high fresh frozen plasma:packed red blood cell (FFP:PRBC) and platelet:PRBC (PLT:PRBC) transfusion ratios may prevent or reduce the morbidity associated with early coagulopathy which complicates massive transfusion (MT). We sought to characterize changes in resuscitation which have occurred over time in a cohort severely injured patients requiring MT.
Methods: Data were obtained from a multicenter prospective cohort study evaluating outcomes in blunt injured adults with hemorrhagic shock.
