    Abstract Background: Acute blood loss anemia is the most common form of anemia and often results from traumatic injuries or gastrointestinal bleeding. There are limited studies analyzing outcomes associated with acute blood loss anemia in hospitalized patients.
    Methods: The Nationwide Inpatient Sample (NIS) was analyzed from 2010 to 2014 (n = 133,809). The impact of acute blood loss anemia on in-hospital mortality, length of stay (LOS), healthcare cost, and disposition was determined using regression modeling adjusted for age, gender, race, and comorbidities.
    Results: Hospitalized patients with acute blood loss anemia had significantly higher healthcare cost (adj OR 1.04; 95% CI: 1.04-1.05), greater lengths of stay (adj OR 1.18; 95% CI: 1.17-1.18), and were less likely to be discharged home compared to the general medical population (adj OR 0.27; 95% CI: 0.26-0.28). Acute blood loss anemia was associated with increased risk for mortality in unadjusted models (unadj 1.16; 95% CI: 1.12-1.20) but not in adjusted models (adj OR 0.91; 95% CI: 0.88-0.94). When analyzing comorbidities, a "muscle loss phenotype" had the strongest association with mortality in patients with acute blood loss anemia (adj OR 4.48; 95% CI: 4.35-4.61). The top five primary diagnostic codes associated with acute blood loss anemia were long bone fractures, GI bleeds, cardiac repair, sepsis, and OB/Gyn related causes. Sepsis had the highest association with mortality (18%, adj OR 2.59; 95% CI: 2.34-2.86) in those with acute blood loss anemia.
    Conclusions: Acute blood loss anemia is associated with adverse outcomes in hospitalized patients.

    Abstract Sarcopenia, defined as the loss of muscle mass and strength, is a major cause of morbidity and mortality in COPD (chronic obstructive pulmonary disease) patients. However, the molecular mechanisms that cause sarcopenia remain to be determined. In this review, we will highlight the unique molecular and metabolic perturbations that occur in the skeletal muscle of COPD patients in response to hypoxia, and emphasize important areas of future research. In particular, the mechanisms related to the glycolytic shift that occurs in skeletal muscle in response to hypoxia may occur via a hypoxia-inducible factor 1-alpha (HIF-1α)-mediated mechanism. Upregulated glycolysis in skeletal muscle promotes a unique post-translational glycosylation of proteins known as O-GlcNAcylation, which further shifts metabolism toward glycolysis. Molecular changes in the skeletal muscle of COPD patients are associated with fiber-type shifting from Type I (oxidative) muscle fibers to Type II (glycolytic) muscle fibers. The metabolic shift toward glycolysis caused by HIF-1α and O-GlcNAc modified proteins suggests a potential cause for sarcopenia in COPD, which is an emerging area of future research.

    Abstract Obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) is a common sleep-related breathing disorder. Its prevalence has increased due to increasing obesity and improved screening and diagnostic strategies. OSA overlaps with cardiopulmonary diseases to promote intermittent hypoxia and autonomic dysfunction. Intermittent hypoxia increases the risk for oxidative stress and inflammation, which promotes endothelial dysfunction and predisposes to atherosclerosis and other cardiovascular complications. OSA is associated with an increased sympathetic nervous system drive resulting in autonomic dysfunction leading to worsening of cardiopulmonary diseases. Cardiovascular diseases are observed in 40% to 80% of OSA patients. Therefore, it is essential to screen and treat cardiovascular diseases.

    Abstract Patients with COPD have an increased risk for severity of COVID-19. Flu-like symptoms with dyspnea may distinguish COVID-19 infection from dyspnea due to a COPD-related exacerbation. Management of COPD with COVID-19 warrants standard-of-care treatment with antimicrobial agents and corticosteroids, though limiting the dose and duration of steroids use may be warranted due to the risk of increased viral shedding. Modalities to treat acute respiratory failure can be used with some caveats. Patients with COPD and COVID-19 infection who treat their illness at home should self-isolate, use nebulizers in ways that avoid viral aerosolization, and frequently disinfect room surfaces.

    Abstract Background: Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) is a chronic inflammatory disorder with systemic consequences that can cause a muscle loss phenotype (MLP), which is characterized by the loss of muscle mass, muscle strength, or loss of both muscle and fat mass. There are limited data comparing the individual traits of MLP with clinical outcomes in a large unbiased cohort of COPD patients. Our aim was to determine the proportion of patients who met criteria for MLP in an unbiased sample of COPD patients at the population-level. We also determined if specific MLP features were associated with all-cause and COPD-related mortality.
    Methods: A retrospective population-based cohort analysis of the UK Biobank was performed. COPD was defined by a FEV1/FVC ratio < 0.7, physician established diagnosis of COPD, or those with a COPD-related hospitalization before baseline assessment. MLP included one or more of the following: 1) Low fat-free mass index (FFMI) on bioelectric impedance analysis (BIA) or 2) Appendicular skeletal muscle index (ASMI) on BIA, 3) Low muscle strength defined by handgrip strength (HGS), or 4) Low muscle and fat mass based on body mass index (BMI). Cox regression was used to determine the association between MLP and all-cause or COPD-related mortality. All models were adjusted for sex, age at assessment, ethnicity, BMI, alcohol use, smoking status, prior cancer diagnosis and FEV1/FVC ratio.
    Results: There were 55,782 subjects (56% male) with COPD followed for a median of 70.1 months with a mean(± SD) age at assessment of 59 ± 7.5 years, and FEV1% of 79.2 ± 18.5. Most subjects had mild (50.4%) or moderate (42.8%) COPD. Many patients had evidence of a MLP, which was present in 53.4% of COPD patients (34% by ASMI, 26% by HGS). Of the 5,608 deaths in patients diagnosed with COPD, 907 were COPD-related. After multivariate adjustment, COPD subjects with MLP had a 30% higher hazard-ratio for all-cause death and 70% higher hazard-ratio for COPD-related death.
    Conclusions: Evidence of MLP is common in a large population-based cohort of COPD and is associated with higher risk for all-cause and COPD-related mortality.

    Abstract Background: Hospitalization and mortality in patients with alcohol-associated hepatitis (AH), a severe form of liver disease, continue to increase over time. Given the severity of the illness, most hospitalized patients with AH are admitted from the emergency department (ED). However, there are no data on ED utilization by patients with AH. Thus, the Nationwide Emergency Department Sample (NEDS) dataset was analyzed to determine the ED utilization for AH.
    Methods: Temporal trends (2016-2019) and outcomes of ED visits for AH were determined. Primary or secondary AH diagnoses were based on coding priority. Numbers of patients evaluated in the ED, severity of disease, complications of liver disease, and discharge disposition were analyzed. Crude and adjusted rates were examined, and temporal trends evaluated using logistic regression with orthogonal polynomial contrasts for each year.
    Results: There were 466,014,370 ED visits during 2016-2019, of which 448,984 (0.096%) were for AH, 85.0% of which required hospitalization. The rate of visits for AH (primary and secondary) between 2016 and 2019 increased from 85 to 106.8/100,000 ED visits. The rate of secondary AH increased more than the rate of primary AH (from 68.6 to 86.5 vs. from 16.4 to 20.3/100,000 ED visits). Patients aged 45-64 years had the highest rate of ED visits for AH, which decreased during the study period, while the rate of ED visits for AH increased in those aged 25-44 years (from 38.5% to 42.9%). The severity of disease (ascites, hepatic encephalopathy, and acute kidney injury) also increased over time. Medicaid and private insurance were the most common payors for patients seeking care in the ED for AH.
    Conclusions: Temporal trends show an overall increase in ED utilization rates for AH, more patients requiring hospitalization, and an increase in the proportion of younger patients presenting to the ED with AH.
