Introduction: Various biomarkers based on blood counts have been useful for the prognosis of patients critically ill with COVID-19. Objective: To describe the usefulness of the neutrophil-to-lymphocyte (NLR), monocyte-to-lymphocyte (MLR) and lymphocyte-to-platelet (LPR) ratios for the prognosis of mortality and ventilatory support requirement for COVID-19. Method: Retrospective cohort of clinical records of patients with COVID-19 who required hospital care. Results: One-hundred and twenty-five cases were analyzed;
Introducción: Diversos biomarcadores basados en conteos sanguíneos han sido de utilidad para el pronóstico de los pacientes en estado crítico por COVID-19. Objetivo: Describir la utilidad de los índices neutrófilo/linfocito (INL), monocito/linfocito (IML) y linfocito/plaqueta (IPL) para el pronóstico de la mortalidad y necesidad de soporte ventilatorio por COVID-19. Método: Cohorte retrospectiva de registros clínicos de pacientes con COVID-19 que requirieron atención hospitalaria.
RESUMENCon el objetivo de evaluar la mortalidad y toxicidad del protocolo Hyper-CVAD utilizado como primera línea de tratamiento de la leucemia linfoblástica aguda se realizó un estudio de cohorte retrospectiva en pacientes de 40 años a menos durante marzo a septiembre de 2011 atendidos con el régimen Hyper-CVAD. La mortalidad y toxicidad se comparó con los resultados de los pacientes atendidos con el régimen institucional HGMLAL07 entre 2009 a 2012. Se incluyeron 18 pacientes, la mediana de edad fue de 26 años. Tanto las remisiones completas (67,7% frente a 81,9%) como la supervivencia a un año (40% frente a 62%) y 2 años (18% frente a 34%) fueron menores con el régimen Hyper-CVAD. Al seleccionar exclusivamente pacientes menores de 35 años, la eficacia de Hyper-CVAD también fue menor. Según esta experiencia y debido a su alto costo y toxicidad, el régimen Hyper-CVAD debe de limitarse a aquellos pacientes con leucemias refractarias o en recaída.

COMPARISON OF THE HYPER-CVAD WITH AN INSTITUTIONAL REGIMEN FOR THE TREATMENT OF ACUTE LYMPHOBLASTIC LEUKEMIA IN ADULTS IN A HOSPITAL OF MEXICO ABSTRACTIn order to assess the mortality and toxicity of the Hyper-CVAD protocol used as first-line treatment of acute lymphoblastic leukemia, a retrospective cohort study was performed in patients less than 40 years of age from March to September 2011 treated with Hyper-CVAD regimen. Mortality and toxicity was compared with the results of patients treated with the institutional HGMLAL07 regimen between 2009-2012. 18 patients were included; the median age was 26 years old. Complete remissions (67.7% versus 81.9%) as well as one-year (40% versus 62%) and 2 year survival rates (18% versus 34%) were lower with the Hyper-CVAD regimen. By selecting only patients younger than 35 years, the effectiveness of Hyper-CVAD was also lower. In our experience and because of its high cost and toxicity, the Hyper-CVAD regimen should be limited to patients with relapsed or refractory leukemia.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
