Abstract
INTRODUCTION The multiorgan impact of moderate to severe coronavirus infections in the post-acute phase is still poorly understood. We aimed to evaluate the excess burden of multiorgan abnormalities after hospitalisation with COVID-19, evaluate their determinants, and explore associations with patient-related outcome measures. METHODS In a prospective, UK-wide, multicentre MRI follow-up study (C-MORE), adults (aged ≥18 years) discharged from hospital following COVID-19 who were included in Tier 2 of the Post-hospitalisation COVID-19 study (PHOSP-COVID) and contemporary controls with no evidence of previous COVID-19 (SARS-CoV-2 nucleocapsid antibody negative) underwent multiorgan MRI (lungs, heart, brain, liver, and kidneys) with quantitative and qualitative assessment of images and clinical adjudication when relevant. Individuals with end-stage renal failure or contraindications to MRI were excluded. Participants also underwent detailed recording of symptoms, and physiological and biochemical tests. The primary outcome was the excess burden of multiorgan abnormalities (two or more organs) relative to controls, with further adjustments for potential confounders. The C-MORE study is ongoing and is registered with ClinicalTrials.gov, NCT04510025. FINDINGS Of 2710 participants in Tier 2 of PHOSP-COVID, 531 were recruited across 13 UK-wide C-MORE sites. After exclusions, 259 C-MORE patients (mean age 57 years [SD 12]; 158 [61%] male and 101 [39%] female) who were discharged from hospital with PCR-confirmed or clinically diagnosed COVID-19 between March 1, 2020, and Nov 1, 2021, and 52 non-COVID-19 controls from the community (mean age 49 years [SD 14]; 30 [58%] male and 22 [42%] female) were included in the analysis. Patients were assessed at a median of 5·0 months (IQR 4·2-6·3) after hospital discharge. Compared with non-COVID-19 controls, patients were older, living with more obesity, and had more comorbidities. Multiorgan abnormalities on MRI were more frequent in patients than in controls (157 [61%] of 259 vs 14 [27%] of 52; p<0·0001) and independently associated with COVID-19 status (odds ratio [OR] 2·9 [95% CI 1·5-5·8]; padjusted=0·0023) after adjusting for relevant confounders. Compared with controls, patients were more likely to have MRI evidence of lung abnormalities (p=0·0001; parenchymal abnormalities), brain abnormalities (p<0·0001; more white matter hyperintensities and regional brain volume reduction), and kidney abnormalities (p=0·014; lower medullary T1 and loss of corticomedullary differentiation), whereas cardiac and liver MRI abnormalities were similar between patients and controls. Patients with multiorgan abnormalities were older (difference in mean age 7 years [95% CI 4-10]; mean age of 59·8 years [SD 11·7] with multiorgan abnormalities vs mean age of 52·8 years [11·9] without multiorgan abnormalities; p<0·0001), more likely to have three or more comorbidities (OR 2·47 [1·32-4·82]; padjusted=0·0059), and more likely to have a more severe acute infection (acute CRP >5mg/L, OR 3·55 [1·23-11·88]; padjusted=0·025) than those without multiorgan abnormalities. Presence of lung MRI abnormalities was associated with a two-fold higher risk of chest tightness, and multiorgan MRI abnormalities were associated with severe and very severe persistent physical and mental health impairment (PHOSP-COVID symptom clusters) after hospitalisation. INTERPRETATION After hospitalisation for COVID-19, people are at risk of multiorgan abnormalities in the medium term. Our findings emphasise the need for proactive multidisciplinary care pathways, with the potential for imaging to guide surveillance frequency and therapeutic stratification.

Background
Pulmonary arterial hypertension (PAH) is a disease characterised by an increase in pulmonary vascular resistance and pulmonary artery pressure. Phosphodiesterase type 5 (PDE5) inhibitors, with sildenafil the earliest among them, are widely used in the management of pediatric PAH. There has more recently been a transition to once-daily tadalafil suspensions. Herein, we present a multicenter experience detailing safety, tolerability and haemodynamic data utilizing tadalafil suspension alone or in combination for the management of pediatric PAH.
Methods and materials
We performed a retrospective review of all infants and children at two North American paediatric PH centres between December 2013 and April 2022. We included all patients less than 9 years of age who were treated with a tadalafil suspension after an initial treatment with sildenafil. Demographic, clinical, imaging, and laboratory data were collected.
Results
Over the study period, 158 children were treated with tadalafil therapy: 41 (25.9%) had group 1 PAH, 81 (51.3%) had group 3 PH, and 33 (20.9%) had group 5 PH. The median initial dose of tadalafil was 1.0 mg/kg once daily with a median time to maximum dose of 1 day. The majority of patients required the suspension formulation due to an inability to take oral tablets or the need for nasogastric or nasojejunal feeding. We observed improvements in median echocardiographic parameters in the six months following initiation, namely, in RVFAC from 34.7% (Q1 = 31.0%, Q3 = 42.0%) to 37.0% (Q1 = 31.0%, Q3 = 44.0%) and in TAPSE from 1.0 (Q1 = 0.8, Q3 = 1.7) cm to 1.3 (Q1 = 1.0, Q3 = 1.7) cm. We observed median decreases in RVSp from 51.0 (Q1 = 35.0, Q3 = 69.0) mmHg to 37.0 (Q1 = 30.0, Q3 = 50.0) mmHg and in NT pro BNP levels from 439.0 (Q1 = 217.0, Q3 = 2051.0) ng/L to 313.0 (Q1 = 193.0, Q3 = 1110.0) ng/L. Tadalafil therapy was well tolerated over the six-month period: at baseline, only four patients (2.5%) reported gastrointestinal side effects, two (1.3%) reported adverse skin adverse effects (i.e., rash and flushing), and one (0.6%) reported adverse neurological effects. At six months, 150 patients (94.9%) reported no adverse effects.
Conclusion
Tadalafil, a long-acting PDE5 inhibitor, when administered in a suspension formulation, has a safe and tolerable adverse effect profile once patients are established on sildenafil therapy. Following 6 months of once daily tadalafil suspension, alone or in combination, showed a trend towards improvement in clinical parameters, echocardiographic measurements, and laboratory results for pediatric PAH. All patient adverse effects were managed with non pharmacological measures and there was good patient compliance.

Clinical characteristics with inflammation profiling of long COVID and association with 1-year recovery following hospitalisation in the UK: a prospective observational study. THE LANCET.

[PMID: 35472304 PMCID: PMC9034855 DOI: 10.1016/s2213-2600(22)00127-8] [Citation(s) in RCA: 173] [Impact Index Per Article: 86.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 01/04/2022] [Revised: 03/23/2022] [Accepted: 03/31/2022] [Indexed: 11/25/2022]
Abstract
BACKGROUND No effective pharmacological or non-pharmacological interventions exist for patients with long COVID. We aimed to describe recovery 1 year after hospital discharge for COVID-19, identify factors associated with patient-perceived recovery, and identify potential therapeutic targets by describing the underlying inflammatory profiles of the previously described recovery clusters at 5 months after hospital discharge. METHODS The Post-hospitalisation COVID-19 study (PHOSP-COVID) is a prospective, longitudinal cohort study recruiting adults (aged ≥18 years) discharged from hospital with COVID-19 across the UK. Recovery was assessed using patient-reported outcome measures, physical performance, and organ function at 5 months and 1 year after hospital discharge, and stratified by both patient-perceived recovery and recovery cluster. Hierarchical logistic regression modelling was performed for patient-perceived recovery at 1 year. Cluster analysis was done using the clustering large applications k-medoids approach using clinical outcomes at 5 months. Inflammatory protein profiling was analysed from plasma at the 5-month visit. This study is registered on the ISRCTN Registry, ISRCTN10980107, and recruitment is ongoing. FINDINGS 2320 participants discharged from hospital between March 7, 2020, and April 18, 2021, were assessed at 5 months after discharge and 807 (32·7%) participants completed both the 5-month and 1-year visits. 279 (35·6%) of these 807 patients were women and 505 (64·4%) were men, with a mean age of 58·7 (SD 12·5) years, and 224 (27·8%) had received invasive mechanical ventilation (WHO class 7-9). The proportion of patients reporting full recovery was unchanged between 5 months (501 [25·5%] of 1965) and 1 year (232 [28·9%] of 804). Factors associated with being less likely to report full recovery at 1 year were female sex (odds ratio 0·68 [95% CI 0·46-0·99]), obesity (0·50 [0·34-0·74]) and invasive mechanical ventilation (0·42 [0·23-0·76]). Cluster analysis (n=1636) corroborated the previously reported four clusters: very severe, severe, moderate with cognitive impairment, and mild, relating to the severity of physical health, mental health, and cognitive impairment at 5 months. We found increased inflammatory mediators of tissue damage and repair in both the very severe and the moderate with cognitive impairment clusters compared with the mild cluster, including IL-6 concentration, which was increased in both comparisons (n=626 participants). We found a substantial deficit in median EQ-5D-5L utility index from before COVID-19 (retrospective assessment; 0·88 [IQR 0·74-1·00]), at 5 months (0·74 [0·64-0·88]) to 1 year (0·75 [0·62-0·88]), with minimal improvements across all outcome measures at 1 year after discharge in the whole cohort and within each of the four clusters. INTERPRETATION The sequelae of a hospital admission with COVID-19 were substantial 1 year after discharge across a range of health domains, with the minority in our cohort feeling fully recovered. Patient-perceived health-related quality of life was reduced at 1 year compared with before hospital admission. Systematic inflammation and obesity are potential treatable traits that warrant further investigation in clinical trials.

Background
Predictors of effective and safe lesion delivery in the human left ventricle have not been established. Generator impedance (GI) drop and electrogram (EGM) attenuation are indices which can be used as surrogates for ablation lesion parameters. Tissue pops are a complication of myocardial overheating preceded by a rise in GI and can have adverse consequences.
Purpose
To establish the relationships between Ablation Index (AI), Force Time Integral (FTI) and contact force with GI and EGM attenuation. To establish factors early in ablation that are predictive of a GI rise.
Methods
Patients undergoing ventricular tachycardia ablation were recruited. All ablations were performed with contact force sensing surround flow catheters. Electrograms were collected pre and post ablation, with GI, AI, FTI measured during. Ablations were divided into low (LVM, < 0.50mV), intermediate (IVM, 0.51 – 1.50mV) and normal voltage (NVM, > 1.50mV) based upon pre-ablation bipolar EGM amplitude. Ablations with a 5% rise in GI from maximal drop were noted and predictors of this explored.
Results
In 15 patients, 402 ablations were analysed. Filtered percentage GI drop correlated with AI and FTI, (p < 0.0005, Spearman’s ρ = 0.522 and 0.524) and reached a plateau at 763AI and 713gs, a filtered GI drop of 7.5% (Figure 1). Shallower curves occurred progressively from NVM to IVM to LVM, (p < 0.0005), (Figure 2)
The bipolar EGM significantly attenuated with ablation, (median attenuation 0.14mV, [29.3%], p <0.0005), but percentage attenuation did not correlate with AI or FTI.
Parameters associated with a GI rise during ablation were greater mean CF to maximum GI drop, (p = 0.002), greater initial percentage GI drop at 5 seconds, (p < 0.0005), power of 50W (p = 0.005), and perpendicular orientation, (p = 0.006). Percentage GI drop at 5 seconds was the best predictor of ablations with a GI rise, (AUCROC 0.773; 95% CI 0.708 – 0.838; optimal cut-off 2.44%). Mean contact force to maximum GI drop was a poor predictor of a GI rise (AUCROC 0.647; 95% CI 0.577 – 0.718, optimal cut-off 14.7g).
Conclusion
During left ventricular ablation, AI of 763 and FTI of 713gs should be targeted, with a lower impedance drop observed for more scarred myocardium. A GI drop of <2.5% at 5 seconds and contact force < 15g should be used to optimise ablation safety.

Type of funding sources: Public hospital(s). Main funding source(s): University Hospital Southampton
Background
Rhythmia HDx® is a novel ultra-high density electroanatomical mapping system using an innovative 64 electrode basket catheter. A learning curve is a recognised phenomenon for any new technology and was examined in this study.
Purpose
Comparison of performance, long-term success, and complications using Rhythmia for atrial ablation in the UK.
Methods
Retrospective data collection from three centres across the UK from the introduction of Rhythmia. Patients were matched with controls who had undergone ablation using the well-established Carto3 mapping system. Assessed were: fluoroscopy, radiofrequency ablation and procedure times; acute and long term success, and complications.
Results
253 study patients with 253 controls were included. Significant correlations existed between procedural efficiency metrics and centre experience for de novo atrial fibrillation (AF) ablation (procedure time, Spearman’s ρ = -0.624; ablation time, ρ = -0.795), and de novo atrial flutter (AFlut) ablation (ablation time, ρ = -0.566; fluoroscopy time, ρ = -0.520). No such correlations existed for redo AF, redo AFlut, de novo atrial tachycardia (AT), or redo AT cases. For de novo AF and AFlut, procedural efficiency metrics were significantly improved after 10 procedures in each centre, (procedure time [AF only, p = 0.001], ablation time [AF, p < 0.0005; AFlut p < 0.0005] and fluoroscopy time [AFlut only, p = 0.0022]), and became comparable to controls (Figures 1 and 2). Acute success and long-term success did not see significant improvement with experience but were comparable to the control group. There was no relationship between experience and complications, which were comparable to Carto3 (3.6% in both groups).
Conclusion
A short learning curve exists with the use of Rhythmia HDx for standardised procedures (de novo AF / AFlut). Procedural performance improves and becomes comparable to Carto3 following 10 cases at each centre. Clinical outcomes at 6 and 12 months, and complications are not affected by this learning curve and remain comparable with controls.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The PROspective Cutaneous Lymphoma International Prognostic Index (PROCLIPI) study is a prospective analysis of an international database. Here we examine front-line treatments and quality of life (QoL) in patients with newly diagnosed mycosis fungoides (MF). OBJECTIVES To identify (i) differences in first-line approaches according to tumour-nodes-metastasis-blood (TNMB) staging; (ii) parameters related to a first-line systemic approach and (iii) response rates and QoL measures. METHODS In total, 395 newly diagnosed patients with early-stage MF (stage IA-IIA) were recruited from 41 centres in 17 countries between 1 January 2015 and 31 December 2018 following central clinicopathological review. RESULTS The most common first-line therapy was skin-directed therapy (SDT) (322 cases, 81·5%), while a smaller percentage (44 cases, 11·1%) received systemic therapy. Expectant observation was used in 7·3%. In univariate analysis, the use of systemic therapy was significantly associated with higher clinical stage (IA, 6%; IB, 14%; IIA, 20%; IA-IB vs. IIA, P < 0·001), presence of plaques (T1a/T2a, 5%; T1b/T2b, 17%; P < 0·001), higher modified Severity Weighted Assessment Tool (> 10, 15%; ≤ 10, 7%; P = 0·01) and folliculotropic MF (FMF) (24% vs. 12%, P = 0·001). Multivariate analysis demonstrated significant associations with the presence of plaques (T1b/T2b vs. T1a/T2a, odds ratio 3·07) and FMF (odds ratio 2·83). The overall response rate (ORR) to first-line SDT was 73%, while the ORR to first-line systemic treatments was lower (57%) (P = 0·027). Health-related QoL improved significantly both in patients with responsive disease and in those with stable disease. CONCLUSIONS Disease characteristics such as presence of plaques and FMF influence physician treatment choices, and SDT was superior to systemic therapy even in patients with such disease characteristics. Consequently, future treatment guidelines for early-stage MF need to address these issues.

Clin Nutr 2021; 40:2914-2922.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Patients undergoing surgery for cancer are at particular risk of post-operative complications. The pre-operative period is an opportunity to identify and mitigate risk factors and improve outcome. Bioelectrical impedance analysis (BIA) may offer an additional means of identifying patients at risk of post-operative morbidity. AIMS The aim of this systematic review was to assess the use of measures and estimates of body composition determined by BIA as markers of peri-operative risk in adult patients undergoing elective surgery for cancer. METHODS This review was performed in accordance with the PRISMA guidelines. The electronic databases of MEDLINE, EMBASE, CINAHL, CENTRAL and the Web of Science were searched from inception. Studies of adult participants having elective surgery for cancer were included if participants underwent BIA in the peri-operative period and were assessed for post-operative complications. RESULTS 2578 studies were identified, of which 12 were eligible for inclusion. In total the studies report data from 1508 subjects. Five studies examined phase angle or standardized phase angle, six examined derived measures and one examined both. Eight of the 12 demonstrated an association between phase angle and/or body composition and an increased risk of post-operative complications. CONCLUSIONS Bioelectrical impedance analysis in the peri-operative period may be useful in predicting the risk of complications following elective cancer surgery. Phase angle more consistently demonstrates an association than derived estimates. Further high quality studies are needed and should report the raw impedance values, standardized phase angle and the equations used to derive body composition.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Early-stage mycosis fungoides (MF) includes involvement of dermatopathic lymph nodes (LNs) or early lymphomatous LNs. There is a lack of unanimity among current guidelines regarding the indications for initial staging imaging in early-stage presentation of MF in the absence of enlarged palpable LNs. OBJECTIVES To investigate how often imaging is performed in patients with early-stage presentation of MF, to assess the yield of LN imaging, and to determine what disease characteristics promoted imaging. METHODS A review of clinicopathologically confirmed newly diagnosed patients with cutaneous patch/plaque (T1/T2) MF from PROspective Cutaneous Lymphoma International Prognostic Index (PROCLIPI) data. RESULTS PROCLIPI enrolled 375 patients with stage T1/T2 MF: 304 with classical MF and 71 with folliculotropic MF. Imaging was performed in 169 patients (45%): 83 with computed tomography, 18 with positron emission tomography-computed tomography and 68 with ultrasound. Only nine of these (5%) had palpable enlarged (≥ 15 mm) LNs, with an over-representation of plaques, irrespectively of the 10% body surface area cutoff that distinguishes T1 from T2. Folliculotropic MF was not more frequently imaged than classical MF. Radiologically enlarged LNs (≥ 15 mm) were detected in 30 patients (18%); only seven had clinical lymphadenopathy. On multivariate analysis, plaque presentation was the sole parameter significantly associated with radiologically enlarged LNs. Imaging of only clinically enlarged LNs upstaged 4% of patients (seven of 169) to at least IIA, whereas nonselective imaging upstaged another 14% (24 of 169). LN biopsy, performed in eight of 30 patients, identified N3 (extensive lymphomatous involvement) in two and N1 (dermatopathic changes) in six. CONCLUSIONS Physical examination was a poor determinant of LN enlargement or involvement. Presence of plaques was associated with a significant increase in identification of enlarged or involved LNs in patients with early-stage presentation of MF, which may be important when deciding who to image. Imaging increases the detection rate of stage IIA MF, and identifies rare cases of extensive lymphomatous nodes, upstaging them to advanced-stage IVA2.

Abstract
PURPOSE Germ cell tumours are the most common cancer of male adolescents and young adults (AYA, age 18-39). Men in this age group have been healthy much of their lives, and a diagnosis of cancer can cause significant psychosocial distress. We therefore sought to examine the psychosocial needs of patients with germ cell tumour and determine whether needs vary based on age (AYA vs non-AYA). We hypothesized that AYA experience more anxiety and distress in emotional, practical and physical domains. METHODS We evaluated the responses of all patients referred to British Columbia (BC) Cancer who completed a pre-consultation health assessment form. This is a validated screening questionnaire for distress, subclinical/clinical symptoms of depression and anxiety and includes the Canadian Problem Checklist domains of emotional, informational, practical, spiritual, social/family and physical concerns. RESULTS Data were collected for 349 patients (2011-2015). Patient population was predominantly AYA (n = 227) with median age 33 (range 18-83). The top 3 AYA concerns were financial, work/school, frustration and anger. AYA patients more commonly scored positive for symptoms of subclinical/clinical anxiety than non-AYA (39.4% vs. 27.9%, p = 0.028). Those AYA patients with subclinical/clinical anxiety symptoms experienced more fears and worries, concerns regarding work/school, lack of understanding of their disease, finances and frustration and anger. CONCLUSIONS The results of this study indicate that AYA with testicular cancer have unique needs and experience more self-reported anxiety symptoms with emotional, informational and practical concerns. This is valuable information to stakeholders for allocation of resources to address cancer survivorship amongst these patients.

Abstract
Endometritis, diagnosed either by assessing the proportion of nucleated cells that are neutrophils (PMN%) following cytology of the endometrium or by assessing the degree of purulent material within the vagina (purulent vaginal discharge or PVD score), is prevalent among dairy cows. However, limited data exist as to the degree of variation among herds in the prevalence of endometritis diagnosed by these 2 methods. Thus, we undertook a study involving uterine cytological and vaginal sampling at a median of 41 d in milk of 1,807 cows from 100 seasonally breeding dairy herds in New Zealand. The optimal cut-point for PMN% was determined by receiver operator characteristic (ROC) curve analysis using conception to first artificial insemination (AI) as the outcome variable. The prevalence of disease was then calculated at the cow and herd levels, and an estimate of the effect of clustering of cow within a herd was calculated. Reproductive outcomes were collated and associations between endometritis and reproductive outcomes assessed using multivariable models. The optimal PMN% cut-point was ≥2%. The correlation of results for cows within a herd (the intraclass correlation) was 0.03, which was significant; hence, subsequent modeling accounted for this clustering. The cow-level prevalence of PMN% ≥2% was 27.0% [95% confidence interval (CI): 25.0 to 29.1%], whereas the mean within-herd prevalence of PMN% ≥2% was 27.1% (95% CI: 24.7 to 29.6%; range: 5.0 to 63.6%), and the prevalence among herds varied significantly. An elevated PMN% (≥2%) was significantly associated with a reduction in the proportion of cows conceiving to first AI (45.8 vs. 54.5%), a reduced proportion of cows submitted for AI in the first 3 wk of the seasonal breeding program (83.7 vs. 89.3%), and a lower proportion pregnant in the first 3 (44.4 vs. 55.4%) and 6 wk (67.5 vs. 76.4%) of the breeding program relative to cows with a low PMN% (i.e., <2%). A total of 24.6% of cows had a PVD score ≥2. The herd mean prevalence of PVD score ≥2 was 25.1% (95% CI: 22.5 to 27.7%; range: 5.0 to 65.0%) and varied significantly among herds. The level of agreement (kappa) between the PVD score and PMN% was low (16.8%) and nonsignificant. The effects of PVD score and PMN% on reproductive outcomes were independent. The within-herd median prevalence of endometritis based on combining both diagnostic tests and using a Bayesian latent class model was 22.9% (Bayesian 95% CI: 10.4 to 40.1%). We conclude that more than one-fifth of dairy cows have endometritis diagnosed either by PMN% or PVD in seasonal breeding herds when assessed at an average of 41 DIM, which was, on average, 30 d before the start of the seasonal breeding program. There is large and unexplained variation in prevalence of endometritis among herds. The 2 diagnostic methods were both associated with reproductive outcomes but have low levels of agreement between them and their effects appear to be independent.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The incidence of massive ventral hernias among the elderly will increase as the population ages. Advanced age is often viewed as a contraindication to elective hernia repair. A relationship between age and complications of component separation procedures for ventral hernias is not well established. This study evaluated the effect of age on the peri-operative safety of AWR. METHODS The 2005-2013 ACS-NSQIP participant use data were reviewed to compare surgical site infection (SSI), overall morbidity, and serious morbidity in non-emergent component separation procedures among all age groups. All patients were stratified into four age quartiles and evaluated. Baseline characteristics included age, body mass index (BMI) and ASA 3 or 4 criteria. Statistical analysis was performed using SPSS. Odds ratios (OR) and 95% confidence intervals were reported as appropriate. RESULTS 4485 patients were identified. Majority of the cases were clean (76.8%). Patients were divided into the following quartiles based on age. The older quartile had a mean age of 72.7 ± 4.87 years. There were baseline differences in BMI and chronic comorbidity severity (measured by incidence of ASA score of 3 or 4) between the age groups, with the oldest group having lower BMI but higher rate of ASA 3 or 4 (p < 0.0001 for both). The rate of postoperative SSI was significantly different between age quartile groups (ranging from 16.3% from the youngest group to 9.4% for the oldest group, p < 0.0001). After adjusting for other baseline differences, advanced age was independently associated with lower SSI rate (OR 0.55, 95% CI 0.41-0.73). There was no significant difference in overall morbidity (p = 0.277) and serious morbidity (p = 0.131) between groups. CONCLUSION AWR is being performed with safety across all age groups. In selected patients of advanced age, AWR can be performed with similar safety profile and low SSI rate.
