Being male is a known risk factor for adverse outcomes in hospitalized COVID-19 patients. (llnl.gov)
A Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory (LLNL) team has developed a comprehensive dynamic model of COVID-19 disease progression in hospitalized patients, finding that risk factors for complications from the disease are dependent on the patient's disease state. (llnl.gov)
Using a machine learning algorithm on a dataset of electronic health records (EHRs) from more than 1,300 hospitalized COVID-19 patients with ProMedica - the largest health care system in northwestern Ohio and southeastern Michigan - the team classified patients into "moderate" or "severe" states and tracked disease trajectory as patients moved through different risk states during hospitalization. (llnl.gov)
Most significantly, while male patients were found to be more likely than female patients to have serious complications or die from COVID-19, when starting from the "severe" disease state, women were more likely than men to die of the disease. (llnl.gov)
By modeling the entire trajectory of hospitalized COVID-19 patients, the team showed "statistically significant differences" in the relative risk of disease progression, which they concluded should be taken into consideration when performing risk assessment among patients in hospitals. (llnl.gov)
A phase 3 study evaluating subcutaneous (SC) daratumumab plus pomalidomide found that daratumumab plus pomalidomide and dexamethasone (D-Pd) significantly reduced the risk of progression or death by 37% in patients with relapsed/refractory multiple myeloma (RRMM) who had received more than or equal to 1 prior line of therapy versus pomalidomide alone, according to data to be presented at the virtual American Society of Hematology (ASH) conference. (pharmacytimes.com)

Patients with cystic fibrosis who had cytomegalovirus had earlier times to lung transplant referral and reaching final stages of disease. (ajmc.com)
Researchers have identified a potential explanation for why some patients with cystic fibrosis experience faster disease progression, finding that patients with cytomegalovirus had earlier times to lung transplant referral and reaching final stages of disease. (ajmc.com)
The virus is most notable for causing visceral disease in immune-suppressed patients, as well as congenital infections. (ajmc.com)
We know that cystic fibrosis patients are more likely to develop lung infections, so it's possible that repeated cycles of activation of the virus exaggerates the damage to patients' lungs, contributing to faster disease progression. (ajmc.com)
The researchers also looked at patients' sex, body mass index, education, and presence of other infections and genetic traits, determining that cytomegalovirus was the most significant factor in disease progression. (ajmc.com)

DETROIT - Neuroscience researchers at Wayne State University published a review article that confirms the usefulness of neurofilament light (NfL) blood levels to predict the likelihood and rate of progression of neurodegeneration in Alzheimer's disease. (eurekalert.org)
The cross-sectional literature indicates that blood NfL shows great promise as a monitoring biomarker to indicate the severity of neurodegeneration in Alzheimer's disease," Damoiseaux said. (eurekalert.org)
It could be especially useful in persons who show Alzheimer's pathology but are at present cognitively unimpaired, or in people who are highly likely to develop Alzheimer's disease due to having the APOE ε4 allele or higher Aβ load. (eurekalert.org)
Longitudinal studies also consistently found significant relationships between blood NfL and atrophy in brain regions vulnerable to Alzheimer's disease pathology. (eurekalert.org)
We found that an increase in blood NfL may precede Alzheimer's disease-related changes in cortical atrophy and may be elevated in the preclinical stages of Alzheimer's disease," Damoiseaux said. (eurekalert.org)
The work by Jung and Damoiseaux highlights that blood NfL is a useful prognostic marker for predicting the progression of neurodegeneration, as well as being a useful marker to assess the risk that a cognitively unimpaired person with a higher risk for Alzheimer's disease will show abnormal changes in brain structure and function.

Arthritis News : What is the Relationship of RA Disease Activity to Radiographic Progression of Joint Damage? (hopkinsarthritis.org)
These questions are not readily answered by conventional statistical analysis methods which use time-averaged estimates of radiographic progression and disease activity over a study interval. (hopkinsarthritis.org)
Time-averaged estimates do not take into account the variability of disease within an individual patient, and also assume a linear rate of radiographic progression. (hopkinsarthritis.org)
Regression models using GEE were constructed to evaluate trends in radiographic progression. (hopkinsarthritis.org)
Then baseline variables thought to be predictive of radiographic progression (age at baseline, sex, rheumatoid factor, baseline Sharp score, baseline DAS score) were entered into the model. (hopkinsarthritis.org)
Using GEE, the rate of radiographic progression was found to slow slightly with increasing disease duration. (hopkinsarthritis.org)
Of the baseline variables considered, only RF positivity and Sharp score at baseline were positive correlated with radiographic progression. (hopkinsarthritis.org)
However, the mean interval DAS, and SD of the mean interval DAS, were also positively correlated with radiographic progression even after adjusting for RF positivity and baseline Sharp scores. (hopkinsarthritis.org)
Thus, periods of higher disease activity (mean interval DAS) or fluctuating disease activity (SD of mean interval DAS) were associated with more radiographic progression. (hopkinsarthritis.org)
