Clinical characteristics of patients hospitalized with COVID-19 in Spain: results from the SEMI-COVID-19 Network
2020
ABSTRACTBackgroundSpain has been one of the countries most affected by the COVID-19 pandemic.ObjectiveTo create a registry of patients with COVID-19 hospitalized in Spain in order to improve our knowledge of the clinical, diagnostic, therapeutic, and prognostic aspects of this disease.MethodsA multicentre retrospective cohort study, including consecutive patients hospitalized with confirmed COVID-19 throughout Spain. Epidemiological and clinical data, additional tests at admission and at seven days, treatments administered, and progress at 30 days of hospitalization were collected from electronic medical records.ResultsUp to April 30th 2020, 6,424 patients from 109 hospitals were included. …
Predicting critical illness on initial diagnosis of COVID-19 based on easily-obtained clinical variables: Development and validation of the PRIORITY …
2020
ABSTRACTObjectivesCurrently available COVID-19 prognostic models have focused on laboratory and radiological data obtained following admission. However, these tests are not available on initial assessment or in resource-limited settings. We aim to develop and validate a prediction model, based on clinical history and examination findings on initial diagnosis of COVID-19, to identify patients at risk of critical outcomes.MethodsWe used data from the SEMI-COVID-19 Registry, a nationwide multicenter cohort of consecutive patients hospitalized for COVID-19 from 132 centers in Spain. Clinical signs and symptoms, demographic variables, and medical history ascertained at hospital admission were sc…
Comparación entre CA125 y NT-proBNP para valorar la congestión en insuficiencia cardíaca aguda
2021
Resumen Antecedentes El antigeno carbohidrato 125 (CA125) y los peptidos natriureticos tipo B son marcadores subrogados de congestion en pacientes con insuficiencia cardiaca aguda (ICA). El objetivo del estudio fue valorar la asociacion entre CA125 y NT-proBNP y parametros de congestion en pacientes con ICA. Metodos y resultados Estudio observacional prospectivo multicentrico, que incluyo a 191 pacientes hospitalizados por ICA. Se registro la presencia de derrame pleural, edema periferico y diametro de vena cava inferior (V C I) durante las primeras 24-48 horas tras el ingreso y se evaluo su asociacion independiente con las concentraciones de CA125 y la fraccion amino-terminal del peptido n…
Comparison between CA125 and NT-proBNP for evaluating congestion in acute heart failure
2020
Abstract Background Carbohydrate antigen 125 (CA125) and B-type natriuretic peptides are surrogate markers of congestion in patients with acute heart failure (AHF). The aim of the study was to assess the association between CA125 and NT-proBNP and congestion parameters in patients with AHF. Methods and results Prospective multicentre observational study that included 191 patients hospitalised for AHF. We recorded the presence of pleural effusion, peripheral oedema and inferior vena cava (IVC) diameter during the first 24–48 h after admission and evaluated their independent association with CA125 concentrations and the amino-terminal fraction of pro-B-type natriuretic peptide (NT-proBNP). Th…
Digoxin and prognosis of heart failure in older patients with preserved ejection fraction: Importance of heart rate. Results from an observational an…
2018
Abstract Background The value of digoxin in heart failure (HF) remains controversial, particularly in patients with preserved ejection fraction (HFpEF). This study evaluated the 1-year risk of events after digoxin treatment for acute heart failure (AHF) in patients >70 years old with HFpEF. Methods 1833 patients were included in this analysis (mean age, 82 years). The main endpoints were all-cause death and the composite of death and/or HF re-admission within 1 year. Cox regression analysis was used to evaluate the association between digoxin treatment and prognosis. Results 401 patients received digoxin treatment; of these, 86% had atrial fibrillation. The mean baseline heart rate was 86 ±…
