TL;DR: Patients with coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) requiring treatment in an intensive care unit (ICU) in the Lombardy region of Italy were characterized, including data on clinical management, respiratory failure, and patient mortality.

TL;DR: The independent risk factors associated with mortality were evaluated with a multivariable Cox proportional hazards regression and infection with severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 was confirmed by real-time reverse transcriptase-polymerase chain reaction assay of nasopharyngeal swabs.

TL;DR: When compared with traditional learning at 12-month follow-up, low-certainty evidence suggests that e-learning may make little or no difference for the following patient outcomes, and general claims of it as inherently more effective than traditional learning may be misleading.

TL;DR: Of 390 BDs recruited after 20 February 2020 − when the first COVID-19 case in Lombardy was identified, 91 (23%) aged 19–70 years were antibody positive, yielding ca 28% (108/390) with evidence of virus exposure.

TL;DR: Contacts of SARS-CoV-2 index cases detected in Lombardy, Italy were analyzed, and positive subjects were ascertained via nasal swabs and serological assays and the risk of symptoms increased with age, with males at significantly higher risk.
