The most critical forms of coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) are associated with excessive activation of the inflammasome. Despite the COVID-19 impact on public health, we still do not fully understand the mechanisms by which the inflammatory response influences disease prognosis. Accordingly, we aimed to elucidate the role of polymorphisms in the key genes of the formation and signaling of the inflammasome as biomarkers of COVID-19 severity. For this purpose, a large and well-defined cohort of 377 COVID-19 patients with mild (n = 72), moderate (n = 84), severe (n = 100), and critical (n = 121) infections were included. A total of 24 polymorphisms located in inflammasome-related genes (NLRP3, NLRC4, NLRP1, CARD8, CASP1, IL1B, IL18, NFKB1, ATG16L1, and MIF) were genotyped in all of the patients and in the 192 healthy controls (HCs) (who were without COVID-19 at the time of and before the study) by RT-qPCR. Our results showed that patients with mild, moderate, severe, and critical COVID-19 presented similar allelic and genotypic distribution in all the variants studied. No statistically significant differences in the haplotypic distribution of NLRP3, NLRC4, NLRP1, CARD8, CASP1, IL1B, and ATG16L1 were observed between COVID-19 patients, who were stratified by disease severity. Each stratified group of patients presented a similar genetic distribution to the HCs. In conclusion, our results suggest that the inflammasome polymorphisms studied are not associated with the worsening of COVID-19.
Background: Evidence on abatacept (ABA) utility for rheumatoid arthritis (RA) - associated interstitial lung disease (ILD) is growing. Clinical trials have shown equivalence in subcutaneous (SC) and intravenous (IV) administration of ABA for articular manifestations. However, this has not been studied in respiratory outcomes. Objective: To compare the effectiveness of ABA in RA-ILD patients according to the route of administration. Methods: National retrospective multicentre study of RA-ILD patients on treatment with ABA. They were divided into 2 groups: a) IV, and b) SC. The following outcomes were analysed from baseline to final follow-up using linear mixed models: a) forced vital capacity (FVC), b) diffusing capacity of the lungs for carbon monoxide (DLCO), c) chest high resolution computed tomography (HRCT), d) dyspnoea, e) RA activity, and f) sparing corticosteroids effect. Results: A total of 397 patients were included (94 IV-ABA and 303 SC-ABA), median follow-up of 24 [10-48] months. After adjustment for possible confounders, FVC and DLCO remained stable during the first 24 months without differences between IV-ABA and SC-ABA (p p = 0.6304 and 0.5337). Improvement/ stability of lung lesions in HRCT was observed in 67 % of patients (75 % IV-ABA, 64 % SC-ABA; p = 0.07). Dyspnoea stabilized/ improved in 84 % of patients (90 % IV-ABA, 82 % SC-ABA; p = 0.09). RA- disease activity improved in both groups. No statistically significant differences regarding any of the variables studied between the two groups were found. ABA was withdrawn in 87 patients (21.9 %), 45 % IV-ABA and 37 % SC-ABA (p p = 0.29). ILD worsening and articular inefficacy were the most common reasons for ABA discontinuation. Conclusion: In patients with RA-ILD, ABA seems to be equally effective regardless of the route of administration.
The COVID-19 pandemic has significantly affected the clinical practice of healthcare professionals. This study aimed to explore the perspectives of COVID-19 survivors regarding the healthcare they received during their stay in the Intensive Care Unit (ICU) and the inpatient COVID-19 ward.A qualitative case-study approach was implemented. Participants were recruited using non-probabilistic purposeful sampling strategy. Inclusion criteria included patients aged ≥18 years who received follow-up from the Pulmonology service at a Hospital in de North of Spain, were diagnosed with COVID-19 and bilateral pneumonia, and were admitted to the ICU before being transferred to a COVID-19 inpatient ward. Data was collected through in-depth interviews and researchers' field notes, and thematic analysis was performed. Techniques such as credibility, transferability, dependability, and confirmability were employed to ensure the trustworthiness of the data.A total of 25 individuals (six women) were included in the study. Three main themes emerged from the analysis: common challenges faced in both units, coping with the hospital stay, and developing strategies. Findings highlighted the need to improve information dissemination, individualize care, and enhance direct patient interaction. Moreover, the study shed light on the psychological impact of hospitalization and ICU experience, including feelings of loneliness, confinement, and the lack of memories from the ICU stay, as well as the influence of care and healthcare language. Finally, strategies such as keeping the mind occupied and maintaining self-discipline were identified as crucial during hospitalization. These findings provide valuable insights for healthcare professionals in delivering care to individuals with COVID-19 in the ICU and hospital ward settings.
The aims of this study were to phenotype pain in patients with interstitial lung disease (ILD) by investigating the association between sensitization-associated symptoms with quality of life, anxiety/depression, pain catastrophizing, and kinesiophobia levels and identifying those risk factors explaining the variance of quality of life in individuals with ILD and pain. One hundred and thirty-two (38.6% women, mean age: 70, standard deviation: 10.5 years) patients with ILD completed clinical (age, sex, height, weight), psychological (Hospital Anxiety and Depression Scale [HADS] and the Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index), and health-related quality of life (EQ-5D-5L) variables, as well as the Central Sensitization Inventory (CSI), the Self-Report Leeds Assessment of Neuropathic Symptoms (S-LANSS), Pain Catastrophizing Scale, and Tampa Scale for Kinesiophobia (TSK-11) questionnaires. The prevalence of sensitization-associated symptomatology (CSI), neuropathic-like features (S-LANSS), anxiety symptoms, depressive symptoms, or poor sleep was 20.5%, 23.5%, 23.6%, 22.9%, or 51.6%. Significant associations between CSI, S-LANSS, HADS-A, HADS-D, Pain Catastrophizing Scale, TSK-11, and EQ-5D-5L (.220 < r < .716) were found. The regression analysis revealed that CSI, TSK-11, and HADS-D explained 44.8% of the variance of EQ-5D-5L (r2 adjusted: .448). This study found the presence of sensitization-associated and neuropathic-like symptoms as well as other central nervous system-derived symptoms, such as anxiety, depression, poor sleep, pain catastrophizing, and kinesiophobia in 25% of ILD patients with pain. Sensitization-associated symptoms, depression, and kinesiophobia were associated with a worse quality of life. These findings would support that individuals with ILD can exhibit different pain phenotypes, including nociplastic-like pain phenotype based on self-reported measurements. PERSPECTIVE: Pain in patients with ILD can fulfill features of different phenotypes, including nociplastic pain, when sensory, emotional, and cognitive mechanisms are involved at the same time.
Patients with interstitial lung disease (ILD) represent a vulnerable population against an acute SARS-CoV-2 infection. It has been observed that up to 80% of patients with ILD can develop post-COVID-19 symptomatology one year after. This secondary analysis aimed to, 1, compare serological biomarkers before and after surpassing a SARS-CoV-2 infection in individuals with interstitial lung disease (ILD) and, 2, to compare serological biomarkers between ILD patients who develop and those who do not develop post-COVID-19 symptoms. Seventy-six patients with ILD (40.4% women, age: 69, SD: 10.5 years) who survived a SARS-CoV-2 infection participated. High-resolution computerized tomography (CT) of the lungs, two pulmonary function tests (forced vital capacity (FVC) and diffusion value of carbon monoxide (DLCO)) and fourteen serological biomarkers were collected before and after SARS-CoV-2 infection. Participants were asked for the presence of post-COVID-19 symptomatology a mean of twelve (SD: eight) months after infection. Sixty patients (79%) showed post-COVID-19 symptoms (mean: 3.5, SD 1.1), with fatigue (68.4%), dyspnea (31.5%), and concentration loss (27.6%) being the most prevalent. Creatine phosphokinase (CPK) was the only biomarker showing differences in our study. In fact, CPK levels were higher after the acute SARS-CoV-2 infection (mean difference: 41.0, 95%CI 10.1 to 71.8, p = 0.03) when compared to before the infection. Thus, CPK levels were also higher in ILD patients with post-COVID-19 fatigue (mean difference: 69.7, 95%CI 12.7 to 126.7, p = 0.015) or with post-COVID-19 dyspnea (mean difference: 34.8, 95%CI 5.2 to 64.4, p = 0.025) than those patients without these post-COVID-19 symptoms. No significant changes in CT or functional pulmonary tests were observed after COVID-19 in patients with ILD. In conclusion, patients with ILD exhibited an increase in CPK levels after SARS-CoV-2 infection, albeit no changes in other serological biomarkers were identified. Similarly, the presence of post-COVID-19 fatigue or dyspnea was also associated with higher CPK levels in ILD patients. Studies investigating long COVID mechanisms in vulnerable populations such as ILD are needed.
The Global Burden of Disease Study revealed that chronic respiratory diseases remain to be leading cause of death and disability worldwide [1]. In the recent years, the world has experienced a dramatic healthcare situation due to the rapid spread of the severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2), the agent responsible of the coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19). Subjects with respiratory diseases are considered as vulnerable groups at a higher risk of SARS-CoV-2 acute infection.
Background. Controlled donation after circulatory death (cDCD) has increased the number of lung donors significantly. The use of abdominal normothermic regional perfusion (A-NRP) during organ procurement is a common practice in some centers due to its benefits on abdominal grafts. This study aimed to assess whether the use of A-NRP in cDCD increases the frequency of bronchial stenosis in lung transplant (LT) recipients. Methods. A single-center, retrospective study including all LTs was performed between January 1, 2015, and August 30, 2022. Airway stenosis was defined as a stricture that leads to clinical/functional worsening requiring the use of invasive monitoring and therapeutic procedures. Results. A total of 308 LT recipients were included in the study. Seventy-six LT recipients (24.7%) received lungs from cDCD donors using A-NRP during organ procurement. Forty-seven LT recipients (15.3%) developed airway stenosis, with no differences between lung recipients with grafts from cDCD (17.2%) and donation after brain death donors (13.3%; P=0.278). A total of 48.9% of recipients showed signs of acute airway ischemia on control bronchoscopy at 2 to 3wk posttransplant. Acute ischemia was an independent risk factor for airway stenosis development (odds ratio=2.523 [1.311-4.855], P=0.006). The median number of bronchoscopies per patient was 5 (2-9), and 25% of patients needed >8 dilatations. Twenty-three patients underwent endobronchial stenting (50.0%) and each patient needed a median of 1 (1-2) stent. Conclusions. Incidence of airway stenosis is not increased in LT recipients with grafts obtained from cDCD donors using A-NRP.
To investigate the association between demographic, clinical, psychological, cognitive, and health‐related variables and the Central Sensitization Inventory (CSI) in previously hospitalized COVID‐19 survivors exhibiting “de novo” post‐COVID pain.
Background Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) exacerbation (ECOPD) alters the natural course of the disease. To date, only C-reactive protein has been used as a biomarker in ECOPD, but it has important limitations. The mitochondria release peptides (Humanin (HN), FGF-21, GDF-15, MOTS-c and Romo1) under certain metabolic conditions. Here, we aimed to evaluate the pathophysiologic, diagnostic and prognostic value of measuring serum mitochondrial peptides at hospital admission in patients with ECOPD. Methods A total of 51 consecutive patients admitted to our hospital for ECOPD were included and followed for 1 year; in addition, 160 participants with stable COPD from our out-patient clinic were recruited as controls. Results Serum FGF-21 ( p < .001), MOTS-c ( p < .001) and Romo1 ( p = .002) levels were lower, and GDF-15 ( p < .001) levels were higher, in patients with ECOPD than stable COPD, but no differences were found in HN. In receiver operating characteristic analysis, MOTS-c (AUC 0.744, 95% CI 0.679–0.802, p < .001) and GDF-15 (AUC 0.735, 95% CI 0.670–0.793, p < .001) had the best diagnostic power for ECOPD, with a diagnostic accuracy similar to that of C-RP (AUC 0.796 95% IC 0.735–0.848, p < .001). FGF-21 (AUC 0.700, 95% CI 0.633–0.761, p < .001) and Romo1 (AUC 0.645 95% CI 0.573–0.712, p = .001) had lower diagnostic accuracy. HN levels did not differentiate patients with ECOPD versus stable COPD ( p = .557). In Cox regression analysis, HN (HR 2.661, CI95% 1.009–7.016, p = .048) and MOTS-c (HR 3.441, CI95% 1.252–9.297, p = .016) levels exceeding mean levels were independent risk factors for re-admission. Conclusions Most mitochondrial peptides are altered in ECOPD, as compared with stable COPD. MOTS-c and GDF15 levels have a diagnostic accuracy similar to C-RP for ECOPD. HN and MOTS-c independently predict future re-hospitalization.
Introduction:Lung ultrasound (LUS) has proven to be a more sensitive tool than radiography (X-ray) to detect alveolar-interstitial involvement in COVID-19 pneumonia. However, its usefulness in the detection of possible pulmonary alterations after overcoming the acute phase of COVID-19 is unknown. In this study we proposed studying the utility of LUS in the medium- and long-term follow-up of a cohort of patients hospitalized with COVID-19 pneumonia. Materials and methods:This was a prospective, multicentre study that included patients, aged over 18 years, at 3 ± 1 and 12 ± 1 months after discharge after treatment for COVID-19 pneumonia. Demographic variables, the disease severity, and analytical, radiographic, and functional clinical details were collected. LUS was performed at each visit and 14 areas were evaluated and classified with a scoring system whose global sum was referred to as the "lung score." Two-dimensional shear wave elastography (2D-SWE) was performed in 2 anterior areas and in 2 posterior areas in a subgroup of patients. The results were compared with high-resolution computed tomography (CT) images reported by an expert radiologist. Results:A total of 233 patients were included, of whom 76 (32.6%) required Intensive Care Unit (ICU) admission; 58 (24.9%) of them were intubated and non-invasive respiratory support was also necessary in 58 cases (24.9%). Compared with the results from CT images, when performed in the medium term, LUS showed a sensitivity (S) of 89.7%, specificity (E) 50%, and an area under the curve (AUC) of 78.8%, while the diagnostic usefulness of X-ray showed an S of 78% and E of 47%. Most of the patients improved in the long-term evaluation, with LUS showing an efficacy with an S of 76% and E of 74%, while the X-ray presented an S of 71% and E of 50%. 2D-SWE data were available in 108 (61.7%) patients, in whom we found a non-significant tendency toward the presentation of a higher shear wave velocity among those who developed interstitial alterations, with a median kPa of 22.76 ± 15.49) versus 19.45 ± 11.39; p = 0.1). Conclusion:Lung ultrasound could be implemented as a first-line procedure in the evaluation of interstitial lung sequelae after COVID-19 pneumonia.
BackgroundMOTS-c and Romo1 are mitochondrial peptides that are modulated by oxidative stress. No previous studies have explored circulating levels of MOTS-c in patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD).MethodsWe enrolled 142 patients with stable COPD and 47 smokers with normal lung function in an observational cross-sectional study. We assessed serum levels of both MOTS-c and Romo1 and associated these findings with clinical characteristics of COPD.ResultsCompared with smokers with normal lung function, patients with COPD had lower levels of MOTS-c (p = 0.02) and higher levels of Romo1 (p = 0.01). A multivariate logistic regression analysis revealed that above-median MOTS-c levels were positively associated with Romo1 levels (OR 1.075, 95% CI 1.005–1.150, p = 0.036), but no association was found with other COPD characteristics. Below-median levels of circulating MOTS-c were associated with oxygen desaturation (OR 3.25 95% CI 1.456–8.522, p = 0.005) and walking <350 meters (OR 3.246 95% CI 1.229–8.577, p = 0.018) in six-minute walk test. Above-median levels of Romo1 were positively associated with current smoking (OR 2.756, 95% CI 1.133–6.704, p = 0.025) and negatively associated with baseline oxygen saturation (OR 0.776 95% CI 0.641–0.939, p = 0.009).ConclusionsReduced levels of circulating MOTS-c and increased levels of Romo1 were detected in patients diagnosed with COPD. Low levels of MOTS-c were associated with oxygen desaturation and poorer exercise capacity using 6 min walk test. Romo1 was associated with current smoking and baseline oxygen saturation.Trial registrationwww.clinicaltrials.gov; No.: NCT04449419; URL: www.clinicaltrials.gov. Date of registration: June 26, 2020.
Pain symptoms after the acute phase of severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus-2 (SARS-CoV-2) are present in almost 50% of COVID-19 survivors. The presence of kinesiophobia is a risk factor which may promote and perpetuate pain. This study aimed to investigate variables associated with the presence of kinesiophobia in a sample of previously hospitalized COVID-19 survivors exhibiting post-COVID pain. An observational study was conducted in three urban hospitals in Spain, including one hundred and forty-six COVID-19 survivors with post-COVID pain. Demographic (age, weight, height), clinical (intensity and duration of pain), psychological (anxiety level, depressive level, sleep quality), cognitive (catastrophizing), sensitization-associated symptoms, and health-related quality of life variables were collected in 146 survivors with post-COVID pain, as well as whether they exhibited kinesiophobia. Stepwise multiple linear regression models were conducted to identify variables significantly associated with kinesiophobia. Patients were assessed a mean of 18.8 (SD 1.8) months after hospital discharge. Kinesiophobia levels were positively associated with anxiety levels (r: 0.356, p < 0.001), depression levels (r: 0.306, p < 0.001), sleep quality (r: 0.288, p < 0.001), catastrophism (r: 0.578, p < 0.001), and sensitization-associated symptoms (r: 0.450, p < 0.001). The stepwise regression analysis revealed that 38.1% of kinesiophobia variance was explained by catastrophism (r2 adj: 0.329, B = 0.416, t = 8.377, p < 0.001) and sensitization-associated symptoms (r2 adj: 0.381, B = 0.130, t = 3.585, p < 0.001). Kinesiophobia levels were associated with catastrophism and sensitization-associated symptoms in previously hospitalized COVID-19 survivors with post-COVID pain. Identification of patients at a higher risk of developing a higher level of kinesiophobia, associated with post-COVID pain symptoms, could lead to better therapeutic strategies.
Individuals who survived coronavirus disease, 2019 (COVID-19), often have symptoms of sensitization, but the extent to which these symptoms relate to serological biomarkers remains unclear. Therefore, this secondary analysis evaluated the association between serological biomarkers at hospital admission with sensitization-associated post-COVID-19 symptoms in a sample of previously hospitalized COVID-19 survivors. Sixty-seven individuals hospitalized due to SARS-CoV-2 infection in one urban hospital of Madrid (Spain) during the first wave of the pandemic were assessed a mean of 6.0 (SD 0.8) months after hospital discharge. The Central Sensitization Inventory (CSI) was used as rough tool to estimate the presence of sensitization-associated post-COVID-19 symptoms (≥40/100 points). Levels of 16 serological biomarkers collected at hospital admission were obtained from medical records. Twenty-four (35.8%) patients reported sensitization-associated post-COVID-19 symptoms (CSI ≥ 40 points). Subjects reporting sensitization-associated symptoms had lower ferritin and hemoglobin levels than those not reporting sensitization-associated post-COVID-19 symptoms; however, these differences were small. We observed significant but small negative associations of the CSI score with ferritin (r: −0.251, p = 0.04) and hemoglobin (r: −0.292, p = 0.017) levels. No other significant difference was found. In conclusion, this secondary analysis did not find significant associations between the investigated serological biomarkers at hospital admission and sensitization-associated post-COVID-19 symptoms at 6 months after hospitalization in COVID-19 survivors.
This study aimed to analyze correlations between Self-Report Leeds Assessment of Neuropathic Symptoms (S-LANSS) and PainDETECT with proxies of sensitization, pain-related, or psychological/cognitive variables in coronavirus disease, 2019 (COVID-19) survivors exhibiting post-COVID pain. Demographic, clinical, psychological, cognitive, sensitization-associated symptoms, and health-related quality of life were collected in 146 survivors with post-COVID pain. The PainDETECT and S-LANSS questionnaires were used for assessing neuropathic pain-related symptoms. Patients were assessed with a mean of 18.8 (SD 1.8) months after hospitalization. Both questionnaires were positively associated with pain intensity (p < 0.05), anxiety (PainDETECT p < 0.05; S-LANSS p < 0.01), sensitization-associated symptoms (p < 0.01), catastrophism (p < 0.01), and kinesiophobia (p < 0.01) and negatively associated with quality of life (PainDETECT p < 0.05; S-LANSS p < 0.01). Depressive levels were associated with S-LANSS (p < 0.05) but not with PainDETECT. The stepwise regression analyses revealed that 47.2% of S-LANSS was explained by PainDETECT (44.6%), post-COVID pain symptoms duration (1.7%), and weight (1.1%), whereas 51.2% of PainDETECT was explained by S-LANSS (44.6%), sensitization-associated symptoms (5.4%), and anxiety levels (1.2%). A good convergent association between S-LANSS and PainDETECT was found. Additionally, S-LANSS was associated with symptom duration and weight whereas PainDETECT was associated with sensitization-associated symptoms and anxiety levels, suggesting that the two questionnaires evaluate different aspects of the neuropathic pain spectrum in post-COVID pain patients.
Pain can be present in up to 50% of people with post-COVID-19 condition. Understanding the complexity of post-COVID pain can help with better phenotyping of this post-COVID symptom. The aim of this study is to describe the complex associations between sensory-related, psychological, and cognitive variables in previously hospitalized COVID-19 survivors with post-COVID pain, recruited from three hospitals in Madrid (Spain) by using data-driven path analytic modeling. Demographic (i.e., age, height, and weight), sensory-related (intensity or duration of pain, central sensitization-associated symptoms, and neuropathic pain features), psychological (anxiety and depressive levels, and sleep quality), and cognitive (catastrophizing and kinesiophobia) variables were collected in a sample of 149 subjects with post-COVID pain. A Bayesian network was used for structural learning, and the structural model was fitted using structural equation modeling (SEM). The SEM model fit was excellent: RMSEA < 0.001, CFI = 1.000, SRMR = 0.063, and NNFI = 1.008. The only significant predictor of post-COVID pain was the level of depressive symptoms (β=0.241, p = 0.001). Higher levels of anxiety were associated with greater central sensitization-associated symptoms by a magnitude of β=0.406 (p = 0.008). Males reported less severe neuropathic pain symptoms (−1.50 SD S-LANSS score, p < 0.001) than females. A higher level of depressive symptoms was associated with worse sleep quality (β=0.406, p < 0.001), and greater levels of catastrophizing (β=0.345, p < 0.001). This study presents a model for post-COVID pain where psychological factors were related to central sensitization-associated symptoms and sleep quality. Further, maladaptive cognitions, such as catastrophizing, were also associated with depression. Finally, females reported more neuropathic pain features than males. Our data-driven model could be leveraged in clinical trials investigating treatment approaches in COVID-19 survivors with post-COVID pain and can represent a first step for the development of a theoretical/conceptual framework for post-COVID pain.
Objectives To investigate the prevalence of neuropathic pain symptoms and to analyze the correlation between neuropathic symptoms with pain-related, psychological, and cognitive variables in COVID-19 survivors exhibiting “de novo” post-COVID pain. Methods Seventy-seven (n = 77) previously hospitalized COVID-19 survivors presenting with post-COVID pain completed demographic (such as age, height, and weight), pain-related (the duration and intensity of pain), psychological (depressive/anxiety levels), and cognitive (catastrophizing and kinesiophobia) variables. The Self-Report Leeds Assessment of Neuropathic Symptoms and Signs (S-LANSS) questionnaire was also assessed. After conducting multivariable correlation analyses, a stepwise multiple linear regression model was performed to identify S-LANSS predictors. Results Participants were assessed a mean of 6.0 (SD 0.8) months after hospital discharge. Nineteen (24.6%) exhibited neuropathic pain symptoms (S-LANSS score≥12 points). The S-LANSS score was positively associated with the duration of post-COVID pain (r: 0.262), anxiety levels (r: 0.275), and kinesiophobia level (r: 0.291) (all, P < 0.05). The stepwise regression analysis revealed that 12.8% of the S-LANSS variance was just explained by kinesiophobia. Conclusion This study found that almost 25% of previously hospitalized COVID-19 survivors with “de novo” post-COVID pain reported a neuropathic pain component. The presence of neuropathic pain symptomatology was associated with more anxiety and kinesiophobia, but only kinesiophobia level was significantly associated explaining 12.8% of the variance of the S-LANSS score.
