Article Synopsis
- Risk stratification for COVID-19 patients using Early Warning Scores (EWSs) is complex, and their effectiveness in predicting outcomes is not yet fully understood.
- This study evaluated the predictive power of five EWSs (MEWS, NEWS, NEWS2, REMS, and qSOFA) on ICU admissions and mortality among 3608 COVID-19 patients at a Serbian hospital.
- The REMS score was found to be the most effective predictor of mortality and ICU admission, with significant factors including age, CT score, urea levels, and bacterial superinfection.
The present study aimed to establish the role of lipid abnormalities and inflammatory markers for developing cardiovascular risk, as well as to address the importance of obesity as a common comorbidity in patients with obstructive sleep apnea (OSA). The study was conducted as a prospective cohort study including 120 patients with newly diagnosed OSA between 2019 and 2020, at University Clinical Hospital Center "Bezanijska kosa", Belgrade, Serbia. The diagnosis was established by polysomnography.
