Background Coronavirus 2019 (COVID 19) has been reported as a pandemic by the world health organization. Increasing number of cases and associated mortality have demanded the need for clinical studies and researches. Objective The aim of this study is to evaluate intubation prognosis of the COVID 19 patients referred to Shahid Beheshti hospital in Qom city. Method COVID 19 patients referred to (XXX)were included in this study. Clinical sign and symptoms were recorded for each patient in a questionnaire. The diagnosis was made using real time polymerase chain reaction and chest CT scans. Lab findings from renal and liver function tests, blood count, c-reactive protein and electrolytes were also recorded. Shortness of breath was measured using oxygen saturation levels in these patients. The data was recorded in the electronic form and was analyzed using SPSS v21. Result Of 317 patients included in this study, the average age of COVID 19 patients were 59.71±16.46 years. The need of ventilation among the patients older than 50 years was significantly higher than younger patients, p=0.013. Smoking status, gender and drug addiction was not associated with the need of invasive mechanical ventilation, p=0.73, p=0.44 and p=0.76. Patients need invasive mechanical ventilation compared to those receiving non-invasive ventilation were significantly older, p=0.001. Conclusion The need of mechanical ventilation is significantly greater in advanced age COVID-19 patients.
The severity of COVID-19 has been to be associated with the comorbidities. It is defined as the presentation of severe respiratory dysfunction or failure, leading to the need of ventilation and mortality. The aim of this study is the evaluate the factors predicting the rate of invasive ventilation among these patients. This retrospective study involved 317 COVID-19 patients referred to (XXX) Hospital in Qom, Iran. The following data was obtained for all the patients: demographic parameters, comorbidities, need of mechanical ventilation, signs and symptoms and lab findings. The results from the demographic data of the study indicated that the need of mechanical ventilation is significantly associated with advanced age, p=0.001. Additionally, hypertension, leukopenia and blood urea nitrogen to creatinine ratio p=0.008. p=0.042 and p<0.001, respectively are significantly associated with increased need of mechanical ventilation. Malignancy, diabetes, asthma, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, headache, fever, platelet count, prothrombin time, c-reactive protein, erythrocyte sedimentation rate and creatinine phosphatase were not significantly different in the two groups, p>0.05. Prediction of the extent of severity among COVID-19 patients using clinical parameters and comorbidities prepare medical practitioners and health care centers to take immediate measurements and reduce the burden of scarcity of health supplies and care.
Background Severity of corona virus disease 2019 (COVID19) is presented with respiratory distress and requires mechanical ventilation. Advanced age is one of the significant risk factors of the worst prognosis and mortality in this disease. The aim of this study is to investigate the clinical parameter among COVID19 patients under mechanical ventilation in regard to the age groups. Method In this retrospective study, COVID19 patients under invasive mechanical ventilation at (XXX) were included. The patients were divided in two age groups, those aged ≥50 years and <50 years. Clinical parameter of these patients like blood pressure, heart rate, respiratory rate, oxygen saturation and body temperature were recorded at the time of mechanical ventilation and 24, 48 and 72 h under the mechanical ventilation. Result A total of 317 patients were included in the study where 214 patients were over the age of 50 years and 98 were under 50 years. The mean age of patients was 59.71 ± 16.46 year. At the start of mechanical ventilation and 24, 48 and 72 h during the ventilation, blood pressure, pulse rate, rate of respiration, oxygen saturation, Glasgow coma scale and temperature were not significantly different at among the two age groups, p > 0.05, respectively. Conclusions The findings of the study indicated that prognosis of COVID19 patients under invasive mechanical ventilation in terms of changes in clinical parameters might not be associated with the age.
Introduction: MS is one of the most common inflammatory diseases of the central nervous system, with the destruction of nerves. One of the symptoms of MS disorder is dystonia, fatigue, spasticity, disturbances, lack of sensation in the organs, cognitive impairment, weakness, tremor, pain, bladder and bowel dysfunction. Method: The search was carried out in the Pubmed/Medline database. 63 The study was designed to investigate patients with MS and therapeutic samples that were materially similar to the current research, and are included in this article. Findings: Therapeutic injection methods in MS have responded, but patients are still in trouble. Studies have shown that the use of stem cells for treating patients with MS has been fruitful and can be used to treat MS. Discussion: As it has been said, the most important treatment challenges in this way is to reduce treatment, and moreover, that anti-MS drugs in advanced forms are limited. Hence, the production of new, improved medicines for the complete treatment of MS is essential. Stem cells play a veryw important role in the repair process, and the complications of these cells are low in patients and provide an acceptable response. Reliably, the focus on new immunology methods with more biological properties has a greater impact on the treatment category. They will have patients.
Background Coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) is associated acute respiratory distress syndrome that leads to intensive care unit admission and subsequent need of invasive ventilation. The aim of this study is to evaluate mortality rate and associated parameters among COVID 19 patients under invasive ventilation. Methods In this retrospective studies, COVID 19 patients referred to our center we evaluated. The data regarding demographic characteristics, comorbidities, biochemical and radiographic findings, need of invasive ventilation and mortality were collected and recorded for all the patients. Statistical analysis was performed to evaluate the risk of mortality in invasive ventilation patients relative to each risk factor or paraclinical or clinical feature. Results Among patients included in the study, 63 patients underwent invasive ventilation where 53 (84%) of these died. The mortality rate among invasive ventilation was significantly associated with advanced age, p = 0.006 whereas it was not significantly associated with smoking, gender, c-reactive protein, platelet count, hypertension, lymphopenia, leukopenia, creatinine kinase, addiction, blood urea nitrogen to creatinine ratio, malignancy, cough, fever, nausea, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease and erythrocyte sedimentation rate. Conclusions The findings of our study indicate that advanced age can increase the risk of mortality in COVID 19 patients under invasive ventilation whereas, mortality among invasive ventilation patients is high, irrespective of their characteristic. Guidelines are therefore, required regarding the use of invasive ventilation among these patients.
