Insights

Patients with obesity, diabetes, COPD, cardiovascular diseases, and liver diseases face a higher risk of severe COVID-19 and death. This study identifies key non-communicable diseases impacting COVID-19 outcomes.

Area of Science:

  • Medical Research
  • Infectious Diseases
  • Public Health

Background:

  • COVID-19 (Coronavirus Disease 2019) has a significant impact on global health.
  • Non-communicable diseases (NCDs) are known risk factors for various infections.
  • Understanding the interplay between NCDs and COVID-19 severity is crucial for patient management.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To identify prevalent non-communicable diseases associated with severe COVID-19.
  • To evaluate diagnostic tools for COVID-19.
  • To determine methods for predicting disease deterioration.

Main Methods:

  • Systematic literature review of publications.
  • Keywords: COVID-19, non-communicable disease, obesity, hypertension, comorbidities, frailty, diabetes, COPD, CVD, liver diseases, diagnostic tools, outcomes.
  • Databases searched: PubMed, MEDLINE, Web of Science.

Main Results:

  • Obesity, diabetes mellitus, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), cardiovascular diseases (CVD), and liver diseases are common comorbidities.
  • These NCDs are linked to an increased risk of moderate to severe COVID-19 infection.
  • Diagnostic tools and prognostic indicators for COVID-19 were evaluated.

Conclusions:

  • Concomitant obesity, diabetes mellitus, COPD, CVD, and liver diseases significantly elevate the risk of severe COVID-19 forms.
  • Patients with these comorbidities are at higher risk of mortality from COVID-19.
  • Effective diagnostic and prognostic strategies are essential for managing COVID-19 in patients with NCDs.

Primary Healthcare Services01:30

Primary Healthcare Services

Primary care promotes wellness and prevents disease. This care includes health promotion, education, protection (such as immunizations), early disease screening, and environmental considerations. Settings providing this type of healthcare include physician offices, public health clinics, school nursing, and community health nursing.

Preventive Healthcare Services

Preventive healthcare services keep people healthy via frequent check-ups, screening, and counseling. They primarily aid in disease prevention rather than treating an acute or chronic illness. Preventive treatment also keeps individuals productive and energetic, allowing them to work well into their retirement years. Examples of preventive care services include:

Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease-V: Management01:29

Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease-V: Management

Managing Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD) involves a multifaceted approach to reduce symptoms, prevent exacerbations, improve overall health status, and slow disease progression. Key strategies include lifestyle modifications, pharmacotherapy, supportive therapies, and, in some cases, surgery. Here is an overview of the primary COPD management strategies:

Patient-centered Care01:13

Patient-centered Care

Patient-centered care involves delivering care beyond inpatient hospitalization. Reflective practice can enhance a patient-centered approach. Reflective practice is a process of reasoning that considers all aspects of the present situation, including practicalities, learning from personal practice, and consideration of patient needs. Patients appreciate care decisions made while considering their input. Involving the patient in their care provides the patient with a sense of contribution rather...

Methods of Documentation VI: Case Management Model

The case management model is a multidisciplinary approach that involves healthcare professionals from diverse disciplines, such as physicians, nurses, therapists, social workers, and pharmacists, working collaboratively to address the various needs of patients. Each healthcare professional brings unique expertise and perspectives, contributing to a more comprehensive understanding of the patient's condition and tailoring treatment plans accordingly.
For example, a patient with a chronic...
