Project description:The SARS-CoV-2 virus caused a pandemic in the 2020s, which affected almost every aspect of life. As the world is recovering from the effect of the coronavirus, the concept of post-COVID-19 syndrome has emerged. Multiple organ systems have been implicated, including the liver. We aim to identify and analyze the reported cases of severe and long-term parenchymal liver injury post-COVID-19 infection. Several databases were used to conduct a comprehensive literature search to target studies reporting cases of severe and long-term parenchymal liver injury post-COVID-19 infection. Screening, data extraction, and cross checking were performed by two independent reviewers. Only 22 studies met our inclusion criteria. Our results revealed that liver steatosis, non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD), and cirrhosis were the most reported liver associated complications post-COVID-19 infection. Moreover, complications like acute liver failure, hepatitis, and liver hemorrhage were also reported. The mechanism of liver injury post-COVID-19 infection is not fully understood. The leading proposed mechanisms include the involvement of the angiotensin-converting enzyme-2 (ACE-2) receptor expressed in the liver and the overall inflammatory state caused by COVID-19 infection. Future studies should incorporate longer follow-up periods, spanning several years, for better insight into the progression and management of such diseases.

Project description:As the population recovers from the coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic, a subset of individuals is emerging as post-coronavirus disease (post-COVID) patients who experience multifactorial long-term symptoms several weeks after the initial recovery from severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) infection. The aim of this systematic review is to present the latest scientific reports that evaluate changes in glucose levels, blood pressure readings and lipid profiles after recovery from COVID-19 to verify the hypothesis that new-onset diabetes mellitus, arterial hypertension and dyslipidaemia are a possible sequela of a COVID-19 infection. The open access databases PubMed and Google Scholar were searched. Articles investigating patients with residual clinical signs and biochemical alteration indicating diabetes, hypertension and dyslipidaemia at least a month after recovering from COVID-19 were included. It has been shown that a select number of patients were diagnosed with new-onset diabetes, arterial hypertension and dyslipidaemia after COVID-19 infection. Alterations in glucose levels, blood pressure and lipid profiles months after initial infection shows the importance of considering diabetes mellitus, arterial hypertension and dyslipidaemia as part of the multifactorial diagnostic criteria post-COVID to better provide evidence-based clinical care.

Project description:BackgroundThere remains a scarcity of literature regarding COVID-19 and its neurological sequelae. This study highlights Parkinsonism as a post-COVID-19 sequela and helps us understand a possible link between the two.MethodsA literature search covering relevant databases was conducted for studies reporting the development of Parkinsonism in patients recovering from COVID-19 infection. A quality assessment tool developed by The Joanna Briggs Institute Critical Appraisal tools for the assessment of case reports was utilized. Fisher's exact test was used to explore the factors associated with COVID-19 and Parkinsonism as its complication.ResultsTen studies were included in our study. The median age of patients was 60.0, with an interquartile range of 42.5-72.0. There were 8 males (61.5%) patients, and 53.8% of cases were reported to have at least one comorbidity. Cogwheel rigidity was the most common symptom of Parkinsonism in 11 patients. While the most standard treatment modality used was Levodopa in 76.9% of cases. Using the Fisher's Exact test, it was identified that 10 patients (76.9%) with bradykinesia made a full recovery.ConclusionDespite presumed "recovery" from COVID-19, patients still face a wide range of neurological complications. One of these complications presenting as Parkinsonism requires health care professionals to be on the lookout for the long-term effects of COVID-19. Hence, our study provides information on the possible likely hood of a link between COVID-19 and the development of Parkinsonism as post-COVID neurological sequelae.

Project description:Hospital-onset COVID-19 infections (HOCIs) are associated with excess morbidity and mortality in patients and healthcare workers. The aim of this review was to explore and describe the current literature in HOCI surveillance. Medline, EMBASE, the Cochrane Database of Systematic Reviews, the Cochrane Register of Controlled Trials, and MedRxiv were searched up to 30 November 2020 using broad search criteria. Articles of HOCI surveillance systems were included. Data describing HOCI definitions, HOCI incidence, types of HOCI identification surveillance systems, and level of system implementation were extracted. A total of 292 citations were identified. Nine studies on HOCI surveillance were included. Six studies reported on the proportion of HOCI among hospitalized COVID-19 patients, which ranged from 0 to 15.2%. Six studies provided HOCI case definitions. Standardized national definitions provided by the UK and US governments were identified. Four studies included healthcare workers in the surveillance. One study articulated a multimodal strategy of infection prevention and control practices including HOCI surveillance. All identified HOCI surveillance systems were implemented at institutional level, with eight studies focusing on all hospital inpatients and one study focusing on patients in the emergency department. Multiple types of surveillance were identified. Four studies reported automated surveillance, of which one included real-time analysis, and one included genomic data. Overall, the study quality was limited by the observational nature with short follow-up periods. In conclusion, HOCI case definitions and surveillance methods were developed pragmatically. Whilst standardized case definitions and surveillance systems are ideal for integration with existing routine surveillance activities and adoption in different settings, we acknowledged the difficulties in establishing such standards in the short-term.

Project description:AimTo analyze the clinical patterns of new-onset inflammatory arthritis after COVID-19 vaccination among patients without pre-existing rheumatic or autoimmune diseases.MethodCase reports and series of new-onset inflammatory arthritis after COVID-19 vaccination were collected before April 2022. Clinical characteristics including diagnosis, age, gender, vaccine types, time interval between events, joint involvement (poly- or oligo-/monoarthritis), and laboratory data reflecting inflammatory status were sorted and P values between these parameters are calculated with independent sample Student's t test or 2 × 2 Fisher's exact test.ResultsAmong 39 cases with new-onset post-vaccination arthritis including 25 females and 13 males (1 unknown), the most common diagnosis is adult-onset Still's disease (AoSD, 10 cases), and the most common vaccine types are BNT162b2 (16 cases) and AZD-1222 (or ChAdOx1-nCoV19, 15 cases). Sub-analysis reveals that post-vaccination polyarthritis is more common among females (P = .016, by 2 × 2 Fisher's exact test, compared with male patients) and older patients (P = .006, by Student's t test). The C-reactive protein level is significantly higher in cases with post-vaccination inflammatory polyarthritis than oligoarthritis (P = .029), as well as in cases with AoSD than other causes of post-vaccination arthritis (P = .004). However, serum level of erythrocyte sedimentation rate in patients with post-vaccination AoSD are independent of other clinical variables in the analysis.ConclusionNew-onset post-vaccination polyarthritis are more common in females and older patients. Although COVID-19 vaccines may lead to inflammatory arthritis, the benefits of vaccination substantially outweigh the potential risks of such serious adverse effects due to their rarity.

Project description:IntroductionDistinct skin lesions associated with coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) have been described, but data regarding their time of onset during the COVID-19 course are scant. Our objective was to systematically review the studies reporting the time of onset of selected skin lesions with respect to the reported onset of the COVID-19 core symptoms.MethodsA comprehensive search of studies published before 21 January 2021 was performed on MEDLINE via PubMed database using a predefined strategy to identify relevant articles.ResultsOut of 354 references, 87 were selected, reporting a total of 895 patients with skin lesions associated with COVID-19. The most frequent pattern was exanthema (n = 430, 48%), followed by vascular (n = 299, 33%), urticarial (n = 105, 12%) and others (n = 66, 7%). Skin lesions occurred more frequently in the first 4 weeks from the COVID-19 onset (n = 831, 92%), whereas prodromal or late lesions were rarer (n = 69, 8%). The urticarial and exanthema patterns were more frequent in the first 2 weeks. About the vascular pattern some differences were noted among its subtypes. Livedoid lesions occurred mainly in the first 2 weeks, while chilblain-like lesions between weeks 2 and 4. Purpuric/petechial lesions were equally distributed during the first 4 weeks. Several skin manifestations did not fall into the pattern classification, including erythema multiforme, generalized pruritus, Kawasaki disease and others.ConclusionThe diversity in the time of onset of skin lesions as well as their polymorphic nature likely reflects the diversity of the pathogenetic underlying mechanisms.Prospero database registration numberCRD42021236331.

Project description:A literature review on new-onset autoimmune connective tissue diseases (ACTDs) following COVID-19 is lacking. We evaluated potential associations between COVID-19 and the development of new-onset ACTDs. The "population" was adults with disease terms for ACTDs, including systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE), Sjogren's syndrome, systemic sclerosis (SSc), idiopathic inflammatory myositis (IIM), anti-synthetase syndrome, mixed CTD and undifferentiated CTD, and "intervention" as COVID-19 and related terms. Databases were searched for English-language articles published until September 2022. We identified 2236 articles with 28 ultimately included. Of the 28 included patients, 64.3% were female, with a mean age was 51.1 years. The USA reported the most cases (9/28). ACTD diagnoses comprised: 11 (39.3%) IIM (including four dermatomyositis); 7 (25%) SLE; four (14.3%) anti-synthetase syndrome; four (14.3%) SSc; two (7.1%) other ACTD (one lupus/MCTD overlap). Of eight, four (14.3%) patients (including that with lupus/MCTD) had lupus nephritis. The average time from COVID-19 to ACTD diagnosis was 23.7 days. A third of patients were admitted to critical care, one for treatment of haemophagocytic lymphohistiocytosis in SLE (14 sessions of plasmapheresis, rituximab and intravenous corticosteroids) and nine due to COVID-19. 80% of patients went into remission of ACTD following treatment, while three (10%) patients died-one due to macrophage activation syndrome with anti-synthetase syndrome and two from unreported causes. Our results suggest a potential association between COVID-19 and new-onset ACTDs, notably in young females, reflecting more comprehensive CTD epidemiology. The most common diagnosis in our cohort was IIM. The aetiology and mechanisms by which ACTDs emerge following COVID-19 remain unknown and require further research.

Project description:There is growing evidence that coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) can lead to a dysregulation of the immune system with the development of autoimmune phenomena. The consequence of this immune dysregulation ranges from the production of autoantibodies to the onset of rheumatic autoimmune disease. In this context, we conducted a systematic review to analyze the current data regarding the new-onset systemic and rheumatic autoimmune diseases in COVID-19 patients. A literature search in PubMed and Scopus databases from December 2019 to September 2021 identified 99 patients that fulfilled the specific diagnostic/classification criteria and/or nomenclature for each rheumatic autoimmune disease. The main diseases reported were vasculitis and arthritis. Idiopathic inflammatory myopathies, systemic lupus erythematosus, and sarcoidosis were also reported in a limited number of patients, as well as isolated cases of systemic sclerosis and adult-onset Still's disease. These findings highlight the potential spectrum of systemic and rheumatic autoimmune diseases that could be precipitated by SARS-CoV-2 infection. Complementary studies are needed to discern the link between the SARS-CoV-2 and new onset-rheumatic diseases so that this knowledge can be used in early diagnosis and the most suitable management.

Project description:BackgroundThe relationship between COVID-19 infection and a possible increased likelihood of older adults developing new-onset dementia (NOD) remains elusive.MethodsA thorough search was performed across several databases including MEDLINE/PubMed, PsycINFO, Scopus, medRxiv, and PQDT Global for studies published in English from January 2020 to December 2023. Only original investigations exploring the link between COVID-19 infection and NOD were selected for inclusion. We assessed the risk of developing NOD, using Risk Ratio (RR) for measurement. Control groups were categorized as: (i) a non-COVID cohort with other respiratory infections [control group (C1)]; and (ii) a non-COVID cohort with otherwise unspecified health status [control group (C2)]. Follow-up periods were divided into intervals of 3, 6, 12, and 24 months post-COVID.Results11 studies (involving 939,824 post-COVID-19 survivors and 6,765,117 controls) were included in the review. Across a median observation period of 12 months post-COVID, the overall incidence of NOD was about 1.82% in the COVID-infected group, compared to 0.35% in the non-COVID-infected group. The overall pooled meta-analysis showed a significantly increased NOD risk among COVID-19 older adult survivors compared to non-COVID-19 controls (RR = 1.58, 95% CI 1.21-2.08). Similar increased NOD risks were observed in subgroup analyses restricted to an observational period of 12 months (RR = 1.56, 95% CI 1.21-2.01), as well as in five studies that employed propensity score matching to sufficiently and effectively control for multiple confounding covariates (RR = 1.46, 95% CI 1.10-1.94). COVID-19 group and C1 group shared a comparably increased risk of developing NOD (overall RR = 1.13, 95% CI 0.92-1.38).DiscussionUnder normal circumstances, we believe that COVID-19 infection is likely to be a risk factor for developing NOD in older adults over time. While the increased NOD risk due to COVID-19 infection appears to be similar to that associated with other respiratory infections, it warrants and necessitates investigation with longer observations.
