Red blood cell distribution width as a prognostic factor of mortality in elderly patients firstly hospitalized due to heart failure
(Medycyna Praktyczna, 2019-04-29)
Background: Red blood cell distribution width (RDW) is a risk factor related to adverse outcome in patients with heart failure (HF). Less is known about its role in patients in their first hospitalization ...
High-dose methylprednisolone pulses for 3 days vs. low-dose dexamethasone for 10 days in severe, non-critical COVID-19: a retrospective propensity score matched analysis
(MDPI, 2021)
Corticosteroids are largely recommended in patients with severe COVID-19. However, evidence to support high-dose methylprednisolone (MP) pulses is not as robust as that demonstrated for low-dose ...
Beneficial effect of corticosteroids in preventing mortality in patients receiving tocilizumab to treat severe COVID-19 illness
(International Journal of Infectious Diseases, 2020-12)
Objectives: To assess the characteristics and risk factors for mortality in patients with severe coronavirus disease-2019 (COVID-19) treated with tocilizumab (TCZ), alone or in combination with ...
Evidence of functional declining and global comorbidity measured at baseline proved to be the strongest predictors for long-term death in elderly community residents aged 85 years: a 5-year follow-up evaluation, the OCTABAIX study
(Dove Press, 2016-04-18)
Objective: To investigate the predictive value of functional impairment, chronic conditions, and laboratory biomarkers of aging for predicting 5-year mortality in the elderly aged 85 years. Methods: ...
Lower admission blood pressure as an independent predictor of 1-year mortality in elderly patients experiencing a first hospitalization for acute heart failure
(Elsevier, 2019)
Background: Systolic blood pressure (SBP) is an acknowledged prognostic factor in patients with heart failure (HF). Admission SBP should be a risk factor for 1-year mortality even in elderly patients ...
Catheter-directed therapies in patients with pulmonary embolism: predictive factors of in-hospital mortality and long-term follow-up
(MDPI, 2021)
Background: Catheter-directed therapies (CDT) may be considered for selected patients with pulmonary embolism (PE); (2) Methods: Retrospective observational study including all consecutive patients with ...
Risk categories in COVID-19 based on degrees of inflammation: data on more than 17,000 patients from the spanish SEMI-COVID-19 registry
(MDPI, 2021)
(1) Background: The inflammation or cytokine storm that accompanies COVID-19 marks the prognosis. This study aimed to identify three risk categories based on inflammatory parameters on admission. (2) ...
