Higher Mortality of Ischaemic Stroke Patients Hospitalized with COVID-19 Compared to Historical Controls
Conclusions: Ischaemic stroke patients with COVID-19 had significantly higher 60-day all-cause mortality compared to propensity score-matched historical controls (ischaemic stroke patients without COVID-19).Cerebrovasc Dis

Prognostic factors for mortality, intensive care unit and hospital admission due to SARS-CoV-2: a systematic review and meta-analysis of cohort studies in Europe
Background As mortality from coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) is strongly age-dependent, we aimed to identify population subgroups at an elevated risk for adverse outcomes from COVID-19 using age-/gender-adjusted data from European cohort studies with the aim to identify populations that could potentially benefit from booster vaccinations. Methods We performed a systematic literature review and meta-analysis to investigate the role of underlying medical conditions as prognostic factors for adverse outcomes due to severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2), including death, hospitalisation, intensive c...

Collateral Effect of Coronavirus Disease 2019 Pandemic on Hospitalizations and Clinical Outcomes in Gastrointestinal and Liver Diseases: A Territory-wide Observational Study in Hong Kong
As of July 22, 2020 there were more than 14.9 million cases and 616,000 deaths due to coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) worldwide.1 Medical resources were shifted to management of infected patients, and declines in hospitalizations for acute coronary syndrome and stroke were observed.2,3 The world is now being exposed to a third wave of the pandemic, and the disruption to endoscopy service is considerable, leading to potential delays in the diagnosis of cancers and management of gastrointestinal (GI) bleeding.

Successful Distancing: Telemedicine in Gastroenterology and Hepatology During the COVID-19 Pandemic
AbstractTelemedicine involves delivering healthcare and preventative care services to patients without the need for in-person encounters. Traditionally, telemedicine has been used for acute events (e.g., stroke, used to relay essential information to the emergency department) and chronic disease management (e.g., diabetes and chronic kidney disease management). Though the utilization of telemedicine in gastroenterology and hepatology has been modest at best, especially for inflammatory bowel diseases and chronic liver disease management, since the onset of coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic, utilization of teleme...

COVID-19, Overdoses Made 2021 The Deadliest Year in U.S. History
2021 was the deadliest year in U.S. history, and new data and research are offering more insights into how it got that bad. The main reason for the increase in deaths? COVID-19, said Robert Anderson, who oversees the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention’s work on death statistics. The agency this month quietly updated its provisional death tally. It showed there were 3.465 million deaths last year, or about 80,000 more than 2020’s record-setting total. Early last year, some experts were optimistic that 2021 would not be as bad as the first year of the pandemic — partly because effective COVID-19 vac...

Impaired coagulation, liver dysfunction and COVID-19: Discovering an intriguing relationship
World J Gastroenterol. 2022 Mar 21;28(11):1102-1112. doi: 10.3748/wjg.v28.i11.1102.ABSTRACTCoronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) is, at present, one of the most relevant global health problems. In the literature hepatic alterations have been described in COVID-19 patients, and they are mainly represented by worsening of underlying chronic liver disease leading to hepatic decompensation and liver failure with higher mortality. Several potential mechanisms used by severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) to cause liver damage have been hypothesized. COVID-19 primary liver injury is less common than secondar...
