Body Mass Index and Risk for COVID-19–Related Hospitalization, Intensive Care Unit Admission, Invasive Mechanical Ventilation, and Death — United States, March–December 2020

open access: yesMMWR. Morbidity and mortality weekly report, 2021
Obesity* is a recognized risk factor for severe COVID-19 (1,2), possibly related to chronic inflammation that disrupts immune and thrombogenic responses to pathogens (3) as well as to impaired lung function from excess weight (4).

Exploring red cell distribution width as a biomarker for treatment efficacy in home mechanical ventilation

open access: yesBMC Pulmonary Medicine, 2022
Background With the growing practice of home mechanical ventilation, there is a need to identify biological markers for adequate follow-up. Red cell distribution width (RDW) is a promising candidate because it is convenient, objective and may reflect ...
