ACE-2 expression in the small airway epithelia of smokers and COPD patients: implications for COVID-19.

TL;DR: Whether patients with COPD have increased expression of ACE-2 in bronchial epithelial cells in the lower respiratory tract is determined, which may explain the increased risk of severe COVID-19 in these subpopulations and highlight the importance of smoking cessation.

Diabetes mellitus is associated with increased mortality and severity of disease in COVID-19 pneumonia - A systematic review, meta-analysis, and meta-regression.

TL;DR: DM was associated with mortality, severe COVID-19, ARDS, and disease progression in patients with CO VID-19 and the association was weaker in studies with median age ≥55 years-old compared to <55 years old, and in prevalence of hypertension ≥25% compared to<25%.

Effect of Tocilizumab vs Usual Care in Adults Hospitalized With COVID-19 and Moderate or Severe Pneumonia: A Randomized Clinical Trial.

TL;DR: In this randomized clinical trial of patients with COVID-19 and pneumonia requiring oxygen support but not admitted to the intensive care unit, TCZ did not reduce WHO-CPS scores lower than 5 at day 4 but might have reduced the risk of NIV, MV, or death by day 14, and no difference on day 28 mortality was found.

Epidemiological and clinical characteristics of 99 cases of 2019 novel coronavirus pneumonia in Wuhan, China: a descriptive study

TL;DR: Characteristics of patients who died were in line with the MuLBSTA score, an early warning model for predicting mortality in viral pneumonia, and further investigation is needed to explore the applicability of the Mu LBSTA scores in predicting the risk of mortality in 2019-nCoV infection.
