Trends in COVID‐19 Risk‐Adjusted Mortality RatesEarly reports showed high mortality from coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID‐19). Mortality rates have recently been lower, raising hope that treatments have improved. However, patients are also now younger, with fewer comorbidities. We explored whether hospital mortality was associated with changing demographics at a 3‐hospital academic health system in New York. We examined in‐hospital morta... ...

Effect of Systemic Glucocorticoids on Mortality or Mechanical Ventilation in Patients With COVID-19The efficacy of glucocorticoids in COVID-19 is unclear.
This study was designed to determine whether systemic
glucocorticoid treatment in COVID-19 patients is
associated with reduced mortality or mechanical
ventilation. This observational study included 1,806
hospitalized COVID-19 patients; 140 were treated with
glucocorticoids within 48 hours of admission. Early use
of glucocorticoids was... ...

The epidemiology of acute organ system dysfunction from severe sepsis outside of the intensive care unitBACKGROUND Severe sepsis is a common, costly, and complex problem, the epidemiology of which has only been well studied in the intensive care unit (ICU ). However, nearly half of all patients with severe sepsis are cared for outside the ICU. OBJECTIVE...
