Abnormal sodium levels predict morbidity, death in COVID-19

20 May 2021 by

Sodium levels during hospitalization are predictive of clinical outcomes in patients with COVID-19, with hypernatraemia and hyponatraemia correlating with a greater risk of death and respiratory failure, respectively, a study has found. Of note, hyponatraemia does not predict in-hospital mortality, except for the subgroup of hypovolaemic hyponatraemia.

Compare COVID-19 deaths between countries using all-cause excess mortality, says study

18 May 2021 by

Inconsistent criteria for attributing a death to COVID-19, in age/comorbidity structures and in policies for identifying asymptomatic people with SARS-CoV-2 infection, are the main cause of between-country discrepancy of mortality metrics for the dreaded disease, according to a study.
