Objectives: To determine predictors of high-flow nasal cannula (HFNC) failure in COVID-19 patients in a hospital in northern Peru.
Methodology: A retrospective cohort study was conducted during the months of March and May 2021. Data collection was based on a follow-up of 156 hospitalized patients with a diagnosis of COVID-19 who were users of HFNC. Epidemiological factors and clinical outcomes of treatment were analyzed from medical records. Epidemiological, analytical, and HFNC use-related characteristics were described using measures of absolute and relative frequencies, measures of central tendency, and dispersion. A multivariate Poisson regression analysis with robust variance and a 95% confidence interval was performed.
Results: We found that age, SpO2/FiO2, work of breathing (WOB scale) at admission, degree of involvement, type of infiltrate on CT scan, lymphocytes, c-reactive protein, and D-dimer were significantly associated with failure of HFNC (p < 0.05). In addition, the WOB scale, PaO2/FiO2, SaO2/FiO2, and ROX index were variables that presented statistical significance (p < 0.0001). In the multivariate analysis model, a risk of failure of HFNC was determined with age > = 60 years [RRa 1.39 (1.05-1.85)] and PaO2/FiO2 score less than 100 [Rra 1.65 (0.99-2.76)].
Conclusions: Predictors to failure of HFNC are age older than 60 years and minimally significantly lower PaO2/FiO2 than 100.

The aim was to identify predictors for early identification of HFNC failure risk in patients with severe community-acquired (CAP) pneumonia or COVID-19. Data from adult critically ill patients admitted with CAP or COVID-19 and the need for ventilatory support were retrospectively analysed. HFNC failure was defined as the need for invasive ventilation or death before intubation.

This study primarily aimed to examine the significance of the C-reactive protein to lymphocyte ratio (CLR), a key marker of inflammation, in relation to the disease progression and management of COVID-19 patients admitted to the intensive care unit (ICU). A total of 464 patients aged 18 years or older, diagnosed with COVID-19 and admitted to the ICU between April 1, 2021, and February 1, 2022, were included in the study. Sociodemographic, laboratory, radiological, and clinical data were collected for each patient.

Studies attempting to predict the development of severe respiratory failure in patients with a COVID-19 infection using machine learning algorithms have yielded different results due to differences in variable selection. We aimed to predict the development of severe respiratory failure, defined as the need for high-flow oxygen support, continuous positive airway pressure, or mechanical ventilation, in patients with COVID-19, using machine learning algorithms to identify the most important variables in achieving this prediction. This retrospective, cross-sectional study included COVID-19 patients with mild respiratory failure (mostly receiving oxygen through a mask or nasal cannula).

Article Synopsis
- Heart failure is prevalent among hemodialysis patients, and high flow arteriovenous fistulas (AVFs) may be a risk factor; this study aims to create a predictive model to identify patients at risk of developing high flow AVFs.
- Using data from 366 patients, the study compared various machine learning models to predict high flow AVF development, finding that the bootstrap forest model was the most effective.
- Results showed that while 31.4% of patients had high flow AVFs, and 24.9% developed heart failure after AVF creation, no direct correlation was found between AVF flow and the onset of heart failure or death post-creation.

Introduction: Lung ultrasound (LUS) has emerged as a reliable, noninvasive tool for bedside assessment of acute bronchiolitis (AB) in infants. Its role in guiding therapeutic decisions is increasingly recognized.
Aims: This study aimed to determine the predictive value of LUS in identifying infants with AB at risk of HFNC therapy failure.
