Project description:Infections caused by SARS-CoV-2 may cause a severe disease, termed COVID-19, with significant mortality. Host responses to this infection, mainly in terms of systemic inflammation, have emerged as key pathogenetic mechanisms, and their modulation is the only therapeutic strategy that has shown a mortality benefit. Herein, we used peripheral blood transcriptomes of critically-ill COVID-19 patients obtained at admission in an Intensive Care Unit, to identify two clusters that, in spite of no major clinical differences, have different gene expression profiles that reveal different underlying pathogenetic mechanisms and ultimately have different ICU outcome. A transcriptomic signature was used to identify these clusters in an external validation cohort, yielding a similar result. These results illustrate the potential of transcriptomic profiles to identify patient endotypes and point to relevant pathogenetic mechanisms in COVID-19.

Project description:BackgroundWe have observed that critically ill patients with COVID-19 are in an extreme hypermetabolic state. This may be a major contributing factor to the extraordinary ventilatory and oxygenation demands seen in these patients. We aimed to quantify the extent of the hypermetabolic state and report the clinical effect of the use of hypothermia to decrease the metabolic demand in these patients.MethodsMild hypothermia was applied on four critically ill patients with COVID-19 for 48 h. Metabolic rates, carbon dioxide production and oxygen consumption were measured by indirect calorimetry.ResultsThe average resting energy expenditure (REE) was 299% of predicted. Mild hypothermia decreased the REE on average of 27.0% with resultant declines in CO2 production (VCO2) and oxygen consumption (VO2) by 29.2% and 25.7%, respectively. This decrease in VCO2 and VO2 was clinically manifested as improvements in hypercapnia (average of 19.1% decrease in pCO2 levels) and oxygenation (average of 50.4% increase in pO2).ConclusionOur case series demonstrates the extent of hypermetabolism in COVID-19 critical illness and suggests that mild hypothermia reduces the metabolic rate, improves hypercapnia and hypoxia in critically ill patients with COVID-19.

Project description:Single-cell RNA-sequencing reveals a shift from focused IFN alpha-driven signals in COVID-19 ICU patients who survive to broad pro-inflammatory responses in fatal COVID-19 – a feature not observed in severe influenza. We conclude that fatal COVID-19 infection is driven by uncoordinated inflammatory responses that drive a hierarchy of T cell activation, elements of which can serve as prognostic indicators and potential targets for immune intervention.

Project description:BackgroundLittle is known about metabolic and nutrition characteristics of patients with coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) and persistent critical illness. We aimed to compare those characteristics in patients with PCI and COVID-19 and patients without COVID-19 infection (non-CO)-primarily, their energy balance.MethodsThis is a prospective observational study including two consecutive cohorts, defined as needing intubation for >10 days. We collected demographic data, severity scores, nutrition variables, length of stay, and mortality.ResultsAltogether, 104 patients (52 per group) were included (59 ± 14 years old [mean ± SD], 75% men) between July 2019 and May 2020. SAPSII, Nutrition Risk Screening (NRS) score, proportion of obese patients, duration of intubation (18.2 ± 11.7 days), and mortality rates were similar. Patients with COVID-19 (vs non-CO) had lower SOFA scores (P = 0.013) and more frequently needed prone position (P < 0.0001) and neuromuscular blockade (P < 0.0001): lengths of ICU (P = 0.03) and hospital stays were shorter (P < 0.0001). Prescribed energy targets were below those of the ICU protocol. The energy balance of patients with COVID-19 was significantly more negative after day 10. Enteral nutrition (EN) started earlier (P < 0.0001). During the first 10 days, COVID-19 patients received more lipid (propofol sedation) and less protein. Higher admission C-reactive protein (P = 0.002) decreased faster (P < 0.001). Whereas intestinal function was characterized by constipation in both groups during the first 10 days, diarrhea was less common in patients with COVID-19 thereafter.ConclusionCompared with non-CO patients, COVID-19 patients were not more obese, had lower SOFA scores, and were fed more rapidly with EN, because of a more normal gastrointestinal function possibly due to fewer non-respiratory organ failures: their energy balances were more negative after the first 10 days. Propofol sedation reduced protein delivery.

Project description:PurposeCritically ill COVID-19 patients have significantly increased risk of death. Although several circulating biomarkers are thought to be related to COVID-19 severity, few studies have focused on the characteristics of critically ill patients with different outcomes. The objective of this study was to perform a longitudinal investigation of the potential mechanisms affecting the prognosis of critically ill COVID-19 patients.MethodsIn addition to clinical data, 113 whole blood samples and 85 serum samples were collected from 33 severe and critical COVID-19 patients without selected comorbidities. Multi-omics analysis was then performed using longitudinal samples.ResultsObvious transcriptional transitions were more frequent in critical survivors than in critical non-survivors, indicating that phase transition may be related to survival. Based on analysis of differentially expressed genes during transition, the erythrocyte differentiation pathway was significantly enriched. Furthermore, clinical data indicated that red blood cell counts showed greater fluctuation in survivors than in non-survivors. Moreover, declining red blood cell counts and hemoglobin levels were validated as prognostic markers of poor outcome in an independent cohort of 114 critical COVID-19 patients. Protein-metabolite-lipid network analysis indicated that tryptophan metabolism and melatonin may contribute to molecular transitions in critical COVID-19 patients with different outcomes.ConclusionsThis study systematically and comprehensively depicted the longitudinal hallmarks of critical COVID-19 patients and indicated that multi-omics transition may impact the prognosis.Take home messageFrequent transcriptional phase transitions may contribute to outcome in critically ill COVID-19 patients. Furthermore, fluctuation in red blood cell and hemoglobin levels may relate to poor prognosis. The biological function of melatonin was suppressed in COVID-19 non-survivors, which may provide a potential theoretical basis for clinical administration.

Project description:Background: Outcomes in patients with severe SARS-CoV-2 infection (COVID-19) are conditioned by viral control and regulation of inflammation. Variants in IFIH1, a gene coding the cytoplasmatic RNA sensor MDA5, regulate the response to viral infections. Methods: Patients admitted to an intensive care unit (ICU) with documented COVID-19 were prospectively included and IFIH1 rs1990760 genotypes determined. Peripheral blood gene expression, cell populations and immune mediators were measured during the first day after ICU admission before steroid therapy. Peripheral blood mononuclear cells from healthy volunteers were exposed ex-vivo to an MDA5 agonist and dexamethasone, and changes in gene expression assessed. ICU discharge and hospital death were modelled using rs1990760 variants and dexamethasone therapy as factors. Findings: 237 patients were studied. Patients with the IFIH1 rs1990760 TT variant showed a decrease in expression of inflammation-related pathways, an anti-inflammatory cell profile and a decrease in pro-inflammatory mediators. Cells with TT variant exposed to an MDA5 agonist ex-vivo showed an increase in FOXO3 and IL6 when dexamethasone was added. All patients with the TT variant not treated with steroids (n=14) survived their ICU stay (HR 2.49 95% confidence interval 1.29 – 4.79). Dexamethasone therapy in this subgroup (N=50) delayed ICU discharge and increased hospital mortality (HR 2.19, 95% confidence interval 1.01 – 4.87) and serum IL-6 concentrations. Interpretation: COVID-19 ICU patients with the IFIH1 rs1990760 TT variant show an ameliorated inflammatory response that results in better outcomes than CC/CT variants. Dexamethasone can reverse this anti-inflammatory phenotype, worsening the outcome. Funding: Instituto de Salud Carlos III.

Project description:In this study, we aim to evaluate the relation between COVID-19 and bacterial secondary superinfections. We assessed the functional responses of neutrophils and monocytes isolated from acute and recovery COVID-19 patients upon bacterial infection using Flow-cytometry and proteomics based assays. Both neutrophils and monocytes showed impared intracellular microbicidal capacity along with a decreased functional response. Determination of plasma cytokines levels showed a significant association of certain cytokines towards secondary bacterial infection.
