Background: Coronavirus disease (COVID-19) remains one of the most significant factors threatening public health security worldwide. The COVID-19 pandemic has been ongoing for more than 3 years; however, there are few studies on the clinical characteristics and mortality risk factors in patients with COVID-19 based on comprehensive data from multiple centers.

Methods: A total of 53,030 patients with confirmed COVID-19 from 138 hospitals in Hubei Province were included in this study.

Objectives: Coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) may induce life-threatening complications and lead to death in the patients.

Method: The aim of this study was to describe a predictive model for the disease outcome (length of hospitalization and mortality) by using blood parameters results at the admission time of 201 patients with positive RT-PCR test for the infection. Variables including; age, sex, comorbidity risk factors, the length of hospitalization, and 25 blood parameters results at the time of admission were considered.

The COVID-19 pandemic has introduced challenges in pediatric care, especially due to the emergence of Multisystem Inflammatory Syndrome in Children (MIS-C), a severe condition associated with SARS-CoV-2 infection. This study investigated the impact of hyponatremia and antidiuretic hormone (ADH) secretion corelated to clinical outcomes in these patients. We conducted a retrospective cohort study, including 118 pediatric patients, with a detailed sub-cohort analysis of 53 patients for ADH secretion markers.

Neutrophil extracellular traps (NETs), essential for controlling infections, can induce various pathologies when dysregulated. Known triggers for infection-independent NETs release exist, yet a comprehensive understanding of the conditions prompting such responses is lacking. In this study, we identify hyponatremia as an independent inducer of NETs release, a common clinical condition that disrupts sodium/calcium exchange within neutrophils.
