The 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

BACKGROUNDBecause of concerns for propagating clots into pulmonary emboli by the
placement of pneumatic compression boots (PCBs), the standard of care at our
institution was to perform a duplex Doppler ultrasound with compression (DUSC)
before applying PCBs. We sought to determine the rate of asymptomatic
preexisting deep vein thrombosis (DVT) in hospitalized patients who underwent
DUSC before PCB... hiện toàn bộ
