ObjectiveTo evaluate the effect of the COVID-19 epidemic on paediatric emergency department (ED) attendance in a region of Northern Italy.MethodsA survey was proposed to six out of nine paediatric EDs in the Emilia Romagna region to evaluate attendance data, distribution by age and gender, triage code score, outcome of clinical course, number of hospitalisations and the distribution of patients by disease. Data were collected during March 2020 and compared with that of March 2019.ResultsA drop in paediatric ED attendance of more than 83.8% was observed, with a higher percentage of infants and severe triage scores. The proportion of patients hospitalised was significantly higher in 2020 than in 2019 (p value: <0.001). The effect size for the comparison of proportions of hospitalised patients was 0.379. Looking at the distribution of attendance by type of disease, a significantly different distribution was highlighted (p value: <0.00001, Cramer’s V); there was a greater proportion of patients presenting to paediatric EDs with poisonings (effect size=0.07), psychiatric pathologies (effect size=0.110), head injuries (effect size=0.167) and fever (effect size=0.212).ConclusionsOur survey suggests that in the first month of the COVID-19 epidemic in Italy, there has been an increase in delayed attendance and provision of care of potentially severe diseases in paediatric EDs. Hospital and community paediatricians should be aware of this phenomenon and adopt appropriate strategies to prevent this danger, as it may affect children more seriously than COVID-19 itself.

BACKGROUND: The pandemic caused by SARS-Corona Virus-2 (COVID-19) is far from over. There has been ongoing new infections across the globe. The clinical course of the disease is varied among different individuals. The prediction of severity and mortality is very difcult but quite essential for timely escalation of the treatment. This is a comparative study of clinical, biochemical parameters among the survivors and non survivors of COVID-19 infection. METHODOLOGY: This is a retrospective study conducted in a tertiary care hospital in South India. This study was an audit of 39 survivors and 39 non survivors of COVID-19 infection. These patients were matched with age and gender. The clinical prole, Biochemical parameters and the clinical course among the two groups were compared and analyzed. RESULTS: 39 survivors and 39 non survivors were included in the study. The two groups were age and gender matched. The symptoms were fever, cough, breathlessness, fatigue, myalgia, body ache, diarrhea. Breathlessness was more common among patients who did not survive. Pneumonia severity index was class 1 and class 2 among patients who survived. PSI was class 4 and class 5 among the patients who did not survive. This difference was statistically signicant. It was seen that there were signicant number of comorbidities and inammatory markers like CRP, D DIMER, LDH, S. Ferritin seen among non survivors compared to the survivors. The study CONCLUSION: shows that presence of comorbidities has an adverse impact on the outcome of the patients with COVID-19 infection. The elevated inammatory markers like CRP, D Dimer and LDH predicted poor outcome. Pneumonia severity index was a useful marker to predict the outcome among patients of COVID.

The objective of our research was to study the clinical ratios between the neurological, demographic and medical-psychological parameters in patients with multiple sclerosis. 89 patients with multiple sclerosis were questioned at time of routine clinic visits. Medical-psychological examination was carried out with the help of the Luscher Color Test. Neurological manifestations (severity of disease, type of the clinical course, duration, age at disease onset) and demographic manifestations (age and gender) of multiple sclerosis have been found to be connected with the dynamics of the level of emotional intensity, the type of vegetative balance and the level of working capacity of patients.

The Impact

AbstractThe clinical course of COVID-19 is very heterogeneous: Most infected individuals can be managed in an outpatient setting, but a substantial proportion of patients requires intensive care, resulting in a high rate of fatalities. Recently, an association between contact to small children and mild course of COVID-19 was reported. We performed an observational study to assess the impact of previous infections with seasonal coronaviruses on COVID-19 severity. 60 patients with confirmed COVID-19 infections were included (age 30 - 82 years; 52 males, 8 females): 19 inpatients with critical disease, 16 inpatients with severe or moderate disease and 25 outpatients (age and gender matched to inpatients). Patients with critical disease had significantly lower levels of HCoV OC43- (p=0.016) and HCoV HKU1-specific (p=0.023) antibodies at the first encounter compared to other COVID-19 patients. Our results indicate that previous infections with seasonal coronaviruses might protect against a severe course of disease. This finding should be validated in other settings and could contribute to identify persons at risk before an infection.
