    Abstract Some patients with COVID-19 have complex hypercoagulable abnormalities that are related to mortality. The optimal dosage of low molecular weight heparin in hospitalized patients with SARS-CoV-2 pneumonia is still not clear. Our objective is to evaluate the effects of adapting the dosage of low molecular weight heparin to thrombotic and bleeding risk scales in this setting. We performed a cohort, retrospective, observational, and analytical study at the Hospital Universitario of Jerez de la Frontera, with patients admitted with SARS-CoV-2 pneumonia from 1 October 2020 to 31 January 2021. They were classified according to whether they received prophylactic, intermediate, or therapeutic doses of enoxaparin. The primary endpoint was intrahospital mortality. Secondary endpoints were the need for invasive ventilation, thromboembolic events, bleeding, and the usefulness of thrombotic and bleeding scales. After binary logistic regression analysis, considering confounding variables, it was found that the use of enoxaparin at therapeutic doses was associated with lower mortality during admission compared to prophylactic and intermediate doses (RR 0.173; 95% CI, 0.038-0.8;

    Abstract Allele-level HLA compatibility in cord blood transplantation, together with noninherited maternal antigen or NIMA matching, have been associated with better transplant outcomes. The aim of this work is to develop a cost-efficient high-resolution HLA typing strategy based on next-generation sequencing to improve the quality of the Barcelona Cord Blood Bank's inventory, and to investigate the impact of high-resolution HLA typing and NIMA determination on the preferential selection of cord blood for transplantation. In this line, the developed strategy was validated and the HLA-A, -B, -C, -DRB1, and -DQB1 genes of 5000 cord blood units and 2500 of their associated maternal samples were typed. Subsequently, three study groups of 2012 units each were monitored for up to 2 years: (1) units with high-resolution and maternal HLA typing, (2) units with high-resolution but not maternal typing, and (3) units typed at low-resolution for class I and only high-resolution for HLA-DRB1. Despite a trend toward a greater selection of units with high-resolution typing, no significant impact of these variables was observed. These results highlight the need for evidence-based and globally accepted criteria for cord blood selection, together with the necessity to improve the accessibility of clinicians to donor registry's data.

    Abstract Allele-level HLA compatibility in cord blood transplantation has been associated with better transplant outcomes and is recommended as a selection criterion. It is also a crucial aspect for other therapeutic applications involving cord blood-derived cells. Determination of high-resolution HLA frequencies is an important step towards improving the quality of cord blood banks. We analyzed HLA-A, -B, -C, -DRB1, and -DQB1 allele frequencies in 5458 high-quality cord blood units from the Barcelona Cord Blood Bank and identified 275 class I and 121 class II HLA alleles. A*02:01, B*44:03, C*07:01, DRB1*07:01 and DQB1*03:01 were the most frequent alleles at each locus. We detected 26 novel alleles and were able to determine the presence or absence of some null alleles, including C*04:09N, in a large number of units. We also analyzed maternal HLA typing information for 1877 units to determine real haplotype frequencies and linkage disequilibrium. A*29:02-B*44:03-C*16:01-DRB1*07:01-DQB1*02:02 was the most frequent HLA haplotype and the DRB1-DQB1 gene pair contained the two-locus haplotypes with the strongest linkage disequilibrium values. Four of the 11 unique haplotypes identified in the HLA-homozygous cord blood units were the top-ranking haplotypes identified and were present in 18% of the cohort. This is the first study to report on HLA allele and haplotype frequencies for umbilical cord blood units from the Barcelona Cord Blood Bank and the largest study to date involving two fields of HLA resolution typing of Spanish registry data.

    Abstract Aims: Cell therapy can be used to repair functionally impaired organs and tissues in humans. Although autologous cells have an immunological advantage, it is difficult to obtain high cell numbers for therapy. Well-characterized banks of cells with human leukocyte antigens (HLA) that are representative of a given population are thus needed. The present study investigates the HLA allele and haplotype frequencies in a cohort of heart failure (HF) patients.
    Methods and results: We carried out the HLA typing and the allele and haplotype frequency analysis in 247 ambulatory HF patients. We determined HLA class I (A, B, and C) and class II (DRB1 and DQB1) using next-generation sequencing technology. The allele frequencies were obtained using Python for Population Genomics (PyPop) software, and HLA haplotypes were estimated using HaploStats. A total of 30 HLA-A, 56 HLA-B, 23 HLA-C, 36 HLA-DRB1, and 15 HLA-DQB1 distinct alleles were identified within the studied cohort. The genotype frequencies of all five HLA loci were in Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium. We detected differences in HLA allele frequencies among patients when the etiological cause of HF was considered. There were a total of 494 five-loci haplotypes, five of which were present six or more times. Moreover, the most common estimated HLA haplotype was HLA-A*01:01, HLA-B*08:01, HLA-C*07:01, HLA-DRB1*03:01, and HLA-DQB1*02:01 (6.07% haplotype frequency per patient). Remarkably, the 11 most frequent haplotypes would cover 31.17% of the patients of the cohort in need of allogeneic cell therapy.
    Conclusions: Our findings could be useful for improving allogeneic cell administration outcomes without concomitant immunosuppression.

    Abstract Objective: To assess the use and clinical impact of tracheostomy in burn patients.
    Summary background data: The role of tracheostomy in the management of burn patients is controversial, with only a few recent studies conducted in this population.
    Methods: Retrospective study of all adult burn patients who underwent a tracheostomy in a Burns Unit between 1995 and 2013. These were compared with a control group (1:1) who underwent orotracheal intubation. Hospital records were reviewed to obtain demographic and clinical information, including those related to respiratory support and tracheostomy. The McNemar's Chi-square and Signed-Rank Tests were used to study differences in morbimortality between both groups.
    Results: A total of n = 20 patients underwent tracheostomy (0.9% of admissions, 56.0 ± 19.5 years, 60.0% women). The most common indication was long-term ventilation (75%), 24.6 ± 19.7 days after admission. Thirteen patients were successfully decannulated with a fatal complication observed in one case. Patients in the tracheostomy group were found to require longer-term mechanical ventilation (43.2 vs. 20.4 days; P = 0.004), with no differences in respiratory infection rates (30.0% vs. 31.6%; P = 0.687) or mortality (30.0% vs. 42.1%; P = 0.500). Ventilator weaning times (15.7 vs. 3.3 days; P = 0.001) and hospital stays (99.1 vs. 53.1 days; P = 0.030) were longer in the tracheostomy group, with no differences in duration of sedation.
    Conclusions: Tracheostomy may be a safe procedure in burn patients and is not associated with higher rates of mortality or respiratory infection. Tracheostomy patients showed longer mechanical ventilation times and higher morbidity, probably not attributable to tracheostomy.

    Abstract Introduction: There are studies that evaluate the association between chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) and heart failure (HF) but there is little evidence regarding the prognosis of this comorbidity in older patients admitted for acute HF. In addition, little attention has been given to the extracardiac and extrapulmonary symptoms presented by patients with HF and COPD in more advanced stages. The aim of this study was to evaluate the prognostic impact of COPD on mortality in elderly patients with acute and advanced HF and the clinical manifestations and management from a palliative point of view. Methods: The EPICTER study (“Epidemiological survey of advanced heart failure”) is a cross-sectional, multicenter project that consecutively collected patients admitted for HF in 74 Spanish hospitals. Demographic, clinical, treatment, organ-dependent terminal criteria (NYHA III-IV, LVEF <20%, intractable angina, HF despite optimal treatment), and general terminal criteria (estimated survival <6 months, patient/family acceptance of palliative approach, and one of the following: evidence of HF progression, multiple Emergency Room visits or admissions in the last six months, 10% weight loss in the last six months, and functional impairment) were collected. Terminal HF was considered if the patient met at least one organ-dependent criterion and all the general criteria. Both groups (HF with COPD and without COPD) were compared. A Kaplan−Meier survival analysis was performed to evaluate the presence of COPD on the vital prognosis of patients with HF. Results: A total of 3100 patients were included of which 812 had COPD. In the COPD group, dyspnea and anxiety were more frequently observed (86.2% vs. 75.3%, p = 0.001 and 35.4% vs. 31.2%, p = 0.043, respectively). In patients with a history of COPD, presentation of HF was in the form of acute pulmonary edema (21% vs. 14.4% in patients without COPD, p = 0.0001). Patients with COPD more frequently suffered from advanced HF (28.9% vs. 19.4%; p < 0.001). Consultation with the hospital palliative care service during admission was more frequent when patients with HF presented with associated COPD (94% vs. 6.8%; p = 0.036). In-hospital and six-month follow-up mortality was 36.5% in patients with COPD vs. 30.7% in patients without COPD, p = 0.005. The mean number of hospital admissions during follow-up was higher in patients with HF and COPD than in those with isolated HF (0.63 ± 0.98 vs. 0.51 ± 0.84; p < 0.002). Survival analysis showed that patients with a history of COPD had fewer survival days during follow-up than those without COPD (log Rank chi-squared 4.895 and p = 0.027). Conclusions: patients with HF and COPD had more severe symptoms (dyspnea and anxiety) and also a worse prognosis than patients without COPD. However, the prognosis of patients admitted to our setting is poor and many patients with HF and COPD may not receive the assessment and palliative care support they need. Palliative care is necessary in chronic non-oncologic diseases, especially in multipathologic and symptom-intensive patients. This is a clinical care aspect to be improved and evaluated in future research studies.
