    Abstract To examine whether interleukin-6 in critical coronavirus disease 2019 is higher in arterial than in central venous blood, as a sign of predominantly local pulmonal rather than systemic interleukin-6 production.
    Design: Prospective cohort pilot study with repeated weekly measurements of interleukin-6 in arterial and central venous blood. Respiratory function, assessed with Pao
    Setting: ICU at a university hospital.
    Subjects: Nine adult patients with critical coronavirus disease 2019, actively treated and receiving mechanical ventilation.
    Measurements and main results: No difference between arterial and central venous interleukin-6 was found. There was a significant negative relationship between interleukin-6 concentration and P/F ratio in both arterial (
    Conclusions: The absence of an arteriovenous interleukin-6 difference implies that interleukin-6 in critical coronavirus disease 2019 is mainly produced outside the lungs as part of a systemic inflammatory response syndrome and act as a driver of local inflammation and damage in the lungs.

    Abstract Background: The complement system, an upstream recognition system of innate immunity, is activated upon SARS-CoV-2 infection. To gain a deeper understanding of the extent and duration of this activation, we investigated complement activation profiles during the acute phase of COVID-19, its persistence post-recovery and dynamic changes in relation to disease severity.
    Methods: Serial blood samples were obtained from two cohorts of hospitalized COVID-19 patients (n = 457). Systemic complement activation products reflecting classical/lectin (C4d), alternative (C3bBbP), common (C3bc) and terminal pathway (TCC and C5a) were measured during hospitalization (admission, days 3-5 and days 7-10), at 3 months and after 1 year. Levels of activation and temporal profiles during hospitalization were related to disease severity defined as respiratory failure (PO
    Findings: During hospitalization, TCC, C4d, C3bc, C3bBbP and C5a were significantly elevated compared to healthy controls. Severely ill patients had significantly higher levels of TCC and C4d (p < 0.001), compared to patients with moderate COVID-19. Escalated levels of TCC and C4d during hospitalization were associated with a higher risk of 60-day mortality (p < 0.001), and C4d levels were additionally associated with chest CT changes at 3 months (p < 0.001). At 3 months and 1 year, we observed consistently elevated levels of most complement activation products compared to controls.
    Conclusion: Hospitalized COVID-19 patients display prominent and long-lasting systemic complement activation. Optimal targeting of the system may be achieved through enhanced risk stratification and closer monitoring of in-hospital changes of complement activation products.

    Abstract Background: COVID-19 may lead to severe disease, requiring intensive care treatment and challenging the capacity of health care systems. The aim of this study was to compare the ability of commonly used scoring systems for sepsis and pneumonia to predict severe COVID-19 in the emergency department.
    Methods: Prospective, observational, single centre study in a secondary/tertiary care hospital in Oslo, Norway. Patients were assessed upon hospital admission using the following scoring systems; quick Sequential Failure Assessment (qSOFA), Systemic Inflammatory Response Syndrome criteria (SIRS), National Early Warning Score 2 (NEWS2), CURB-65 and Pneumonia Severity index (PSI). The ratio of arterial oxygen tension to inspiratory oxygen fraction (P/F-ratio) was also calculated. The area under the receiver operating characteristics curve (AUROC) for each scoring system was calculated, along with sensitivity and specificity for the most commonly used cut-offs. Severe disease was defined as death or treatment in ICU within 14 days.
    Results: 38 of 175 study participants developed severe disease, 13 (7%) died and 29 (17%) had a stay at an intensive care unit (ICU). NEWS2 displayed an AUROC of 0.80 (95% confidence interval 0.72-0.88), CURB-65 0.75 (0.65-0.84), PSI 0.75 (0.65-0.84), SIRS 0.70 (0.61-0.80) and qSOFA 0.70 (0.61-0.79). NEWS2 was significantly better than SIRS and qSOFA in predicating severe disease, and with a cut-off of5 points, had a sensitivity and specificity of 82% and 60%, respectively.
    Conclusion: NEWS2 predicted severe COVID-19 disease more accurately than SIRS and qSOFA, but not significantly better than CURB65 and PSI. NEWS2 may be a useful screening tool in evaluating COVID-19 patients during hospital admission.

    Title translation Strukturert mottak av sepsispasienter og oppstart av antibiotika.
    Abstract Background: In 2017, Acute Admissions at Oslo University Hospital, Ullevål, introduced a specific protocol for evaluating patients with suspected sepsis on arrival. Patients with suspected sepsis, and all those who fulfilled at least two of three criteria in the Quick Sequential Organ Failure Assessment (qSOFA) screening tool, were to undergo a structured evaluation by a dedicated sepsis team. We have examined whether this initiative improved compliance with national recommendations to initiate antibiotics within one hour in cases of sepsis.
    Material and method: Adult patients with suspected sepsis who underwent a structured team evaluation on arrival in Acute Admissions in the period 15 May to 15 November 2017 were included. A retrospective review was used to determine whether or not those included did in fact have sepsis.
    Results: Antibiotics were administered for suspected sepsis following 216 structured evaluations in Acute Admissions (172 by sepsis teams and 44 by general medical teams). In all, 175 (81 %) patients received antibiotics within one hour of arrival in Acute Admissions. Median time from arrival to initiation of antibiotics was 35 minutes. Use of qSOFA alone captured 80 (71 %) of the 112 patients who were subsequently classified as having sepsis.
    Interpretation: Following the introduction of a structured evaluation for patients with suspected sepsis, antibiotic treatment was generally initiated within one hour.
