Of 586 survey respondents, 90.1% said they would be motivated to distribute a self-test kit to contacts, 86.1% said they would take a kit given to them by a contact who may be positive, and 82.8% said they would be motivated to order a free kit online for themselves if they thought they were exposed to COVID-19. Motivation to use or distribute self-test COVID-19 kits among US adults is high, according to survey results published in JAMA Network Open today. Most US adults report high motivation for using, relaying COVID self-tests The researchers add that the low readmission rate for patients may have been affected by increased use of acute rehabilitation and home health services, additional caretaking support at home due to the pandemic, and 'a new phenotype of sepsis survivors who may have fewer subsequent infections.' However, they add, more research is needed in this area, particularly in regard to the latter reason, as 10.2% of discharged patients had severe and persistent lymphopenia. 'One potential mechanism for improved mortality over time in the face of unchanging acuity was better adherence to evidence-based standard-of-care therapies for critical illness-such as HFNC to avert intubation, as well as prone positioning-which initially proved challenging in the setting of isolation precautions, including personal protective equipment requirements for bedside clinicians.' 'Our results support the notion that outcomes improved during the pandemic independent of patient-level factors,' the researchers write. Other treatment methods included high-flow nasal cannula (HFNC) (51.5%), vasopressors (25.9%), and noninvasive ventilation (22.9%). While 68.2% of patients received mechanical ventilation, procedure rates decreased from 85.7% of those in the first time block to 54.2% in the last, in part due to updated guidelines. Patients' median age was 65 years, and 71.8% had a high comorbidity burden. Overall, the 28-day in-hospital all-cause mortality rate was 29.9%, and 10.8% of patients required hospital readmission for any reason within 30 days. The study's retrospective cohort consisted of 468 critically ill coronavirus patients at five hospitals in the University of Pennsylvania Health System from Mar 1 to May 11, 2020, and rate changes over time were measured in 15-day blocks. Twenty-eight–day in-hospital mortality rates decreased from 29.9% to 19.7% for adult COVID-19 intensive care unit (ICU) patients over the first wave of the pandemic, according to an Annals of Internal Medicine study published yesterday.
