Helmet continuous positive airway pressure versus high-flow nasal cannula in COVID-19: a pragmatic randomised clinical trial (COVID HELMET)

CPAP is a feasible option that enables a higher positive positive end-expiratory pressure (PEEP) We hypothesize that the use of Helmet CPAP will reduce the need for invasive mechanical ventilation without having a negative effect on survival. This could have important implications during the current COVID-19 epidemic.

The associations between fasting plasma glucose levels and mortality of COVID-19 in patients without diabetes

Coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) which is novel pneumonia can rapidly progress to acute respiratory distress syndrome, septic shock, and multiple organ dysfunction syndromes

Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis on the Value of Chest CT in the Diagnosis of Coronavirus Disease (COVID-19): Sol Scientiae, Illustra Nos

Methodologic quality was assessed using the Quality Assessment of Diagnostic Accuracy Studies 2 (QUADAS-2) tool. All six studies included patients at high risk of COVID-19. Sensitivity ranged from 92.9% to 97.0%, and specificity ranged from 25.0% to 71.9%, with pooled estimates of 94.6% (95% CI, 91.9-96.4%)

Factors associated with psychological distress during the coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic on the predominantly general population: A systematic review and meta-analysis

The prevalence of anxiety and depression was 33% (95% CI: 28%-39%) and 30% (26%-36%) in the outbreak. One in three adults in the predominantly general population have COVID- 19 related psychological distress, we found.

Clinical frailty scale and mortality in COVID-19: A systematic review and dose-response meta-analysis

The National Institute for Health and Care Excellence (NICE) endorsed the clinical frailty scale (CFS) to help with decision-making. Each 1-point increase in CFS was associated with 12% increase in mortality (OR 1.12)

Safety and efficacy of convalescent plasma therapy in severely and critically ill patients with COVID-19: a systematic review with meta-analysis

More attention has been focused on the use of convalescent plasma (CP) for the treatment of SARS-CoV-2. The severely ill patients benefited more from CP than the critically ill patients. Adverse events were few and the effect of plasma on reducing viral load was apparent.

Total Abdominal Colectomies With Proctectomy Are Associated With Higher 30-Day Readmission Rates in Children With Ulcerative Colitis

Hospital readmissions are a burden on patients and families and place a financial strain on the health care system. Thirty-day readmission rates for adult patients undergoing colectomy are as high as 30%. Inflammatory bowel disease is a risk factor for readmission. TAC procedures that included a proctectomy had significantly higher readmissions rates compared to TAC alone.
