Aim According to age, there are differences in the clinical profile, presentation, management, and short-term outcomes of patients with COVID-19 admitted to the Emergency Department. Findings A statistically significant association was found between demographic data, comorbidities, clinical, radiographic, analytical, and therapeutic variables and short-term results according to age-dependent categories. Age was a prognostic factor for hospital admission and in-hospital and 30-day mortality, and was associated with not being admitted to intensive care. Message Clinical presentation, management, and short-term outcomes differ according to age among patients with COVID-19 admitted to the Emergency Department.
SARS-CoV-2 infection has had a major impact on donation and transplantation. Since the cessation of activity two years ago, the international medical community has rapidly generated evidence capable of sustaining and increasing this neccesary activity. This paper analyses the epidemiology and burden of COVID-19 in donation and transplantation, the pathogenesis of the infection and its relationship with graft-mediated transmission, the impact of vaccination on donation and transplantation, the evolution of donation in Spain throughout the pandemic, some lessons learned in SARS-CoV-2 infected donor recipients with positive PCR and the applicability of the main therapeutic tools recently approved for treatment among transplant recipients.
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.
