Background: Adequate glycemic control improves the prognosis of patients hospitalized for pneumonia associated with severe COVID-19.
Objective: To evaluate the impact of hyperglycemia (HG) on the prognosis of patients hospitalized for severe pneumonia associated with COVID-19 in unvaccinated patients.
Material And Methods: Prospective cohort study.
Background: COVID-19 brought with it unknowns related to systemic sclerosis.
Objective: To know the clinical evolution and prognosis of COVID-19 in a cohort of patients with systemic sclerosis.
Methods: During the pandemic, we had digital contact with a cohort of 197 patients with SSc.
Article Synopsis
- The study investigates whether blood groups (BG) influence susceptibility to SARS-CoV-2 infection among healthcare workers prior to vaccination.
- Using a cross-sectional design, researchers compared the blood groups, antibody presence, and symptoms of 102 convalescent health workers against 116 controls from March to June 2020.
- Results indicated that blood group O was the most common among both groups, with a non-significant lower risk of infection associated with BG-O and a potential higher risk for BG-A, while 15% of the convalescent group did not develop antibodies post-infection.
Introduction: whether hypovitaminosis D is an overarching cause of increased mortality or a prognostic marker of poor health has not been well elucidated. Objectives: we sought to determine the association of serum 25-hydroxyvitamin D [25-(OH)-D3] levels with the clinical biochemical parameters and mortality risk in chronic diseases. Methods: we reviewed the clinical charts and collected the clinical biochemical parameters of patients diagnosed with chronic conditions who had at least one 25-(OH)-D3 determination, with or without calcium and vitamin D supplementation, and who were selected using a cluster random sampling design (n = 1,705).
