Pilot analysis of intravenous lipid infusion role in COVID-19 mortality.

Introduction: How to reduce the fatality of coronavirus disease (COVID-19) is still challenging. A proper nutritional support has been always a matter of attention in critically ill patients.

Material And Methods: We assessed COVID-19 patients who had received intralipid infusion due to medical indications and compared them with those who did not receive it regarding fatality rate and prognosis.

A near real-time electronic health record-based COVID-19 surveillance system: An experience from a developing country.

Context: Access to real-time data that provide accurate and timely information about the status and extent of disease spread could assist management of the COVID-19 pandemic and inform decision-making.

Aim: To demonstrate our experience with regard to implementation of technical and architectural infrastructure for a near real-time electronic health record-based surveillance system for COVID-19 in Iran.

Method: This COVID-19 surveillance system was developed from hospital information and electronic health record (EHR) systems available in the study hospitals in conjunction with a set of open-source solutions; and designed to integrate data from multiple resources to provide near real-time access to COVID-19 patients' data, as well as a pool of health data for analytical and decision-making purposes.

An Easy-to-Use Platform for Reporting COVID-19 Patients by Private Offices and Clinics Without IT Support: A Pilot Study.

Background: It is feasible to collect data rapidly and online using IT solutions.

Objectives: To present a data collection platform for COVID-19 suspected patients in private offices and clinics without a standard software.

Methods: The proposed system for collecting and sharing data of patients with respiratory symptoms was designed to be simple to use, without the need for special technology, and with proper security to authenticate reporters.

Effects of Immune System-Related Medications on COVID-19 Outcome in a Cohort of Iranian Patients: Preliminary Report of a Data Mining Study.

Background: Regulation of the immune system is critical for fighting against viral infections. Both suppression and hyperactivity of the immune system result in failure of treatment. The present study was designed to show the effects of immune system-related medications on mortality and length of stay (LOS) in a cohort of Iranian patients with coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19).

DITAS: An Integrated Gateway to E-health Communications.

Today, the demand for health-oriented systems to facilitate and improve treatment processes is growing. For different information systems with different structures and technologies to be able to communicate with each other, a single gateway is required. The gateway acts as an interface between information systems and unifies protocols, rules, and standards related to communication processes.

The Iranian Integrated Care Electronic Health Record.

E-health plays a crucial role in E-government by proposing healthcare services based on information technology. However, the way to administer these services by using E-health solutions is one of the challenging issues. One of these significant challenges is how one integrates heterogeneous healthcare information of the different point of care systems.
