Coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) is a respiratory infectious caused by Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome 2 (SARS-CoV-2). COVID-19 in patients with comorbidities progresses more rapidly to severity and frequently leads death. Therefore, the objective of this study determine length survival estimation Hazard Ratio (HR) comorbidities. The design used retrospective cohort 3,751 samples was analy...

Background: Neonatal mortality remains a public health concern in developing countries such as Burkina Faso. Improving the survival rate of newborns requires a good knowledge of the current situation. This study aimed at determining the risk factors for neonatal mortality in the Neonatology Department of Saint Camille Hospital of Ouagadougou (HOSCO - Hôpital Saint ...

Severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-COV-2) began in China late 2019. Since then, it has spread to other countries creating a world-wide pandemic with multiple variants. Symptoms can range from asymptomatic, severe symptoms hospitalization including ventilation and death [1-3].

Chronic bronchial disease constitutes a significant, yet underdiagnosed, cause of both chronic cough, episodic as well as, acute-onset respiratory distress in the adult dog. Untreated, chronic bronchial disease is a debilitating, progressive respiratory syndrome that characteristically results in decreased exercise tolerance, inactivity, paroxysmal respiratory distress, airway collapse, and eve...

BACKGROUND Compared with usual care, noninvasive ventilation (NIV) lowers the risk of intubation and death for subjects with respiratory failure secondary to COPD exacerbations, but whether administration of NIV by a specialized, dedicated team improves its efficiency remains uncertain. Our aim was to test whether a dedicated team of respiratory therapists applying all acute NIV treatments woul...

Background: Understanding causes of death among children is crucial to decrease mortality rate. Identifying specific causes of under-five mortality help in developing possible prioritize preventive interventions. This study aimed to identify rates and common causes associated with child deaths in a Tertiary Care Centre in North Jordan. Materials and Methods: At a retrospective study, death regi...

BACKGROUND Obesity is associated with diverse health risks, but the role of body weight as a risk factor for death remains controversial. METHODS We examined the association between body weight and the risk of death in a 12-year prospective cohort study of 1,213,829 Koreans between the ages of 30 and 95 years. We examined 82,372 deaths from any cause and 48,731 deaths from specific diseases (...

BACKGROUND It is generally acknowledged that conventional estimates of the potential number of life years to be gained by elimination of causes of death are too generous. This is because these estimates fail to take into account the fact that those who are saved from the cause are likely to have one or more other conditions ("competing" causes of death), which may increase their risks of dying....

uated from the medical records and autopsy findings if available. Differences between the two groups were assessed by nonparametric analysis. The characteristics of the patients are shown in table 1 . There were no significant differences in gender, age at onset and age at death between the two groups; however, disease duration was significantly longer in patients with TPPV than without TPPV (W...

Patients who develop respiratory failure requiring mechanical ventilation after hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (HSCT) have very high mortality. Several investigators have identified prognostic features that can be used to identify a subset of these patients who are virtually certain to die, yet these have never been prospectively assessed. The objectives of this study were to determine...
