Predicting the response to methylprednisolone pulses in patients with SARS-COV-2 infection
CONCLUSIONS: In patients with methylprednisolone pulses, the capacity of the predictive model for hospital discharge including variables collected at 5 days was (area under the curve) 0.816.PMID:35718548 | DOI:10.1016/j.medcli.2022.02.025

COVID-19 and supra-aortic trunks disease: review of literature about critical phase and sequelae
J Cardiovasc Surg (Torino). 2021 Sep 28. doi: 10.23736/S0021-9509.21.12021-X. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTThe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) is responsible for the COVID-19 disease, a global pandemic. A strong association has been documented between COVID-19 and cardiovascular events, although the exact pathophysiological mechanism is still unclear. Carotid atherothrombosis and ischemic stroke represents one of the possible severe manifestations of COVID-19, as a leading cause of long-term disability and death. Different complex intertwined mechanisms seem to underlie the endothelitis which is the ...

Predictors of mortality for patients with COVID-19 and large vessel occlusion.
CONCLUSION: Patients with COVID-19 and ELVO had a significantly higher risk for mortality compared to COVID-19 negative patients with ELVO. A small percentage of COVID-19 ELVO patients had good outcomes. Age greater than 60 and pulmonary symptoms at presentation have higher risk for mortality. Other risk factors for mortality were a history of cigarette smoking, elevated, failure to recanalize, elevated d-dimer and ferritin levels. PMID: 32862753 [PubMed - as supplied by publisher]
