Aim To evaluate the clinical picture and factors associated with unfavorable outcomes in admitted patients with COVID-19.Material and methods This study included all patients admitted to the COVID Center of the National Research Center of Cardiology of the Russian Ministry of Health Care from May 1 through May 31, 2020. Clinical demographic, laboratory, and instrumental indexes and associated factors were studied with one-way and multivariate logistic regression analysis.Results This study included 402 patients aged 18 to 95 years (mean age, 62.9±14.6 years); 43.0 % of them were older than 65 years. COVID-19 was frequently associated with chronic comorbidities, including arterial hypertension (74.4 %), obesity (41.6 %), history of ischemic heart disease (12.9 %), atrial fibrillation (18.9 %), type 2 diabetes mellitus (DM) (13.0 %), and oncological diseases (9.2 %). 13.0 % of patients were smokers; less than 10% had chronic lung diseases. 3.9% of patients had a combination of COVID-19 and acute coronary pathology, including acute myocardial infarction (MI) in 3.2 % (13) and unstable angina in 0.7 % (3). The most frequent clinical manifestation of COVID-19 were four symptoms: cough (81.1 %), weakness (80.3 %), shortness of breath (71.6 %), and fever (62.7 %). 46.5% of patients had shortage of breath and chest pain/compression, 40.3% had headache, 31.1% had myalgia, 28.8% had anosmia, and 25.5% had ageusia. Arterial oxygen saturation was <93.0 % in 55.7 % of cases. According to laboratory blood tests the patients had anemia (58.2 %), lymphopenia (34.8 %), neutropenia (19.2 %), thrombocytopenia (11.9 %), and increased levels of high-sensitivity C-reactive protein (hsCRP, 87.3 %), interleukin-6 (89.3 %), ferritin (62.1 %), and D-dimer (49.2 %). 56.2% of patients required various regimens of oxygen support. 83 (20.6%) patients were admitted to intensive care and resuscitation units; invasive artificial ventilation was performed only for 34 (8.5 %) patients. In-hospital mortality was 7.7 % (31 / 402). One-way regression analysis identified major factors associated with death during the stay in the hospital: age >55 years, NEWS scale score >4.0, oxygen saturation <92.0 %, blood glucose >5.4 mmol/l, hs-CRP >25.7 mg/l, and creatinine clearance <72.0 ml/min. Furthermore, the risk increased with increasing degree of changes in each factor. According to results of the multivariate regression analysis, three most significant predictors of the hard endpoint, all-cause death during the stay in the hospital, were more than 5-fold increases in aspartate aminotransferase and/or alanine aminotransferase compared to normal levels (relative risk (RR) 16.8 at 95 % confidence interval (CI) 5.0–56.3, р<0.001), pronounced changes in the lungs consistent with a CT-4 picture as shown by computed tomography (CT) (RR 13.4; 95 % CI 3.9–45.5, р<0.001), and MI/unstable angina during the stay in the hospital (RR 11.3; 95 % CI 1.4–90.6, р=0.023). The probability of death was also considerably increased by chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, impaired kidney function (creatinine clearance estimated by Cockcroft-Gault <60.0 ml/min), type 2 DM, oncological diseases, and dementia.Conclusion This study established factors associated with unfavorable outcomes in admitted patients with COVID-19. This will allow identifying in advance patients with a high risk of complications that require increased attention to take more active diagnostic and therapeutic measures at prehospital and hospital stages.
В 1929 г. опубликовано первое сообщение о комбина-ции гипопаратиреоза и кожно-слизистого кандидоза, а в © Коллектив авторов, 2015 e-mail: guzmoniiag@gmail.com 1946 г. J. Whitaker и соавт. описали триаду: гипопаратире-оз, кожно-слизистый кандидоз и первичная недостаточ- Цель исследования -наблюдение за течением и ведением беременности и родов у пациенток, страдающих аутоиммунным полигландулярным синдромом 1-го типа. Материал и методы. Обследованы в течение беременности и родоразрешены 2 беременные (одна из них дважды) с аутоиммунным полигландулярным синдромом 1-го типа, который характеризовался хронической надпочечниковой недостаточностью, хроническим аутоиммунным тиреоидитом, первичным гипотиреозом в стадии компенсации, первичным гипопаратиреозом в стадии компенсации и артериальной гипотонией. Проявления синдрома были выявлены за 2 года -11 лет до наступления беременности. Пациентки получали заместительную гормо-нальную терапию в течение многих лет, в том числе на прегравидарном этапе, во время беременности и после родораз-решения. У пациенток тщательно изучены анамнез, выписки из историй болезни, проведено обследование с применением клинического, лабораторного, инструментального, молекулярно-генетического методов исследования. До беременности и в течение беременности пациентки наблюдались в крупных клинических учреждениях, проводилась постоянная кор-рекция необходимой терапии. Результаты. Беременности протекали с угрозой прерывания, осложнялись анемией легкой степени, гестационным пиелонефритом, фетоплацентарной недостаточностью. Симптомов гипокортицизма в течение беременности отмечено не было. Все пациентки были родоразрешены кесаревым сечением. Послеоперационный период у всех протекал без осложнений. Выписаны на 7-е сутки с ребенком в удовлетворительном состоянии. Представлены результаты морфологического исследования последов у родоразрешенных пациенток. Заключение. Заболевание женщин аутоиммунным полигландулярным синдромом 1-го типа при условии своевременного и адекватного лечения существенно не влияет на течение беременности. Однако такие пациентки нуждаются в тщательном совместном наблюдении акушера-гинеколога и эндокринолога в связи с высоким риском декомпенсации заболевания, а родоразрешение должно быть про-изведено в крупном родовспомогательном учреждении. Авторы информируют об отсутствии конфликта интересов. Ключевые слова: аутоиммунный полигландулярный синдром 1-го типа, беременность, тщательное наблюдение, коррекция проводимой заместительной гормональной терапии.Objective -to study the results of a follow-up of pregnancy and labor and their management in patients with autoimmune polyglandular syndrome type 1. Subject and methods. Two pregnant women (one of them was gravida II) with this condition characterized by chronic adrenal insufficiency, chronic autoimmune thyroiditis, compensated primary hypothyroidism, compensated primary hypoparathyroidism, and arterial hypotension. The manifestations of the syndrome were detected 2-11 years prior to becoming pregnant. The patients had been receiving hormone...
In most cases, placental localization in the scar after cesarean section is accompanied by abnormal placental attachment: placenta accreta, less frequently in combination with its ingrowth (placenta accreta/increta).
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
