BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVES: The coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) outbreak has caused a worldwide pandemic, resulting in >3.8 million deaths. Our aim is to identify the risk factors associated with in-hospital mortality using survival analysis
Severe acute respiratory syndrome 2019-new coronavirus (SARS-CoV-2) is a major global challenge caused by a pandemic disease, named 'COVID-19' with no effective and selective therapy available so far. COVID-19-associated mortality is directly related
CONCLUSIONS: There was a low hospitalization rate amongst patients reporting OD. One-third of patients with COVID-19 self-reported OD, and two-thirds of patients achieve OD resolution. Survey respondents with active COVID-19 infection and female
This survey study tested a two-level model of responses to conflicting advice about COVID-19 and examined the underlying emotional and cognitive mechanisms and the moderating role of advice source. Results showed that at the individual message level
Infections with SARS-CoV-2 variants and declining immunity after primary vaccination, encouraged the use of booster doses. Some countries changed their immunization programmes to boost with vaccines different from the ones in their original schedule
Systemic corticosteroids (CSs), a keystone in pulmonology, are drugs with strong antiinflammatory activity. They are cheap, easily available, and accessible, but with common and serious side effects. Moreover, the use of exogenous CSs may suppress
CONCLUSIONS: It is of paramount importance that physicians know the associated risk factors, mentioned in our study, that may lead to invasive fungal co-infection in COVID-19 patients, and to regularly examine the patient for any developing signs so
