COVID-19–induced acute kidney injury in critically ill patients: epidemiology, risk factors, and outcome
Ahlem Trifi, Sami Abdellatif, Yosri Masseoudi, Asma Mehdi, Oussama Benjima, Eya Seghir, Fatma Cherif, Yosr Touil, Bedis Jeribi, Foued Daly, et al.
Acute Crit Care. 2021;36(4):308-316.

- Acute kidney injury (AKI) occurred in 44% of critically ill patients affected with coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19).
- A high level of D-dimers and less significance of sepsis were factors related with the development of AKI.
- AKI increased the death risk by 6 and reduced survival by an average of 5 days.
- Originality: We propose that identification of elevated D-dimers as the factor most related to COVID-19-induced AKI represents the originality of the present study. This gives more emphasis on the role of micro thrombi (acute thrombotic microangiopathy caused by severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus-2) in the genesis of AKI and considers addition of curative anticoagulation and immunomodulatory treatments.

Atrial fibrillation of new onset during acute illness: prevalence of, and risk factors for, persistence after hospital discharge
Abarna Ramanathan, John Paul Pearl, Manshi Li, Xiaofeng Wang, Divyajot Sadana, Abhijit Duggal
Acute Crit Care. 2021;36(4):317-321.

• Atrial fibrillation of new onset during acute illness (AFNOAI) has a high rate of persistence after hospital discharge and is associated with a high in-hospital and 5-year mortality.
• Age, hyperlipidemia, immunosuppression, mitral regurgitation, and diastolic dysfunction may increase the risk of long-term persistence of AFNOAI.
• Anti-coagulation should be considered in patients with AFNOAI for thromboembolic prophylaxis following discharge.

Acute Crit Care. 2021;36(4):374-379.

• This study demonstrated that intensive care units intensive care units (ICUs) with cuff pressure monitoring devices and active measurement protocols had a higher proportion of patients with optimal cuff pressure (58.5%) and a lower proportion with sub-optimal and high cuff pressures (19.5% and 22.0%) compared to ICUs with no device-based monitoring protocols.
• The ventilator-associated pneumonia rates of ICUs exhibited a weak positive correlation with sub-optimal cuff pressure.
