Critical Care Department, URV/IISPV/CIBERES, Joan XXIII University Hospital, Tarragona, Spain.
Article Synopsis
- The study aimed to evaluate the impact of corticosteroids on ICU mortality in mechanically ventilated COVID-19 patients suffering from ARDS.
- Conducted in 70 ICUs, the study included 1,835 patients, with 1,117 receiving corticosteroids; however, initial results showed no significant difference in ICU mortality between those treated and those untreated with corticosteroids.
- While corticosteroid treatment appeared to provide short-term survival benefits, it led to increased ICU mortality after 17 days, particularly benefiting younger patients and those with severe ARDS.

Background: Despite the improvement in the prognosis of lupus nephritis (LN), the cardiovascular morbimortality remains high. The early recognition and remission of flares, while trying to avoid the metabolic adverse effects of medication, must be mandatory.
Aim: The aim of our study was to assess the cardiovascular (CV) risk profile in a cohort of lupus patients with preserved kidney function after a nephritis episode, compared to patients without a nephritis flare.

Necrotising fasciitis (NF) is a rare infection of the subcutaneous tissue, known to be rapidly progressive and potentially fatal.
