    Abstract Objective: To investigate the effect of standard care (SoC) combined with supervised in-bed cycling (Bed-Cycle) or booklet exercises (Book-Exe) versus SoC in community-acquired pneumonia (CAP).
    Methods: In this randomised controlled trial, 186 patients with CAP were assigned to SoC (n = 62), Bed-Cycle (n = 61), or Book-Exe (n = 63). Primary outcome length of stay (LOS) was analysed with analysis of covariance. Secondary outcomes, 90-day readmission and 180-day mortality, were analysed with Cox proportional hazard regression and readmission days with negative-binominal regression.
    Results: LOS was -2% (95% CI -24 to 25%) and -1% (95% CI -22 to 27%) for Bed-Cycle and Book-Exe, compared to SoC. 90-day readmission was 35.6% for SoC, 27.6% for Bed-Cycle, and 21.3% for Book-Exe. Adjusted hazard ratio (aHR) for 90-day readmission was 0.63 (95% CI 0.33-1.21) and 0.54 (95% CI 0.27-1.08) for Bed-Cycle and Book-Exe compared to SoC. aHR for 90-day readmission for combined exercise was 0.59 (95% CI 0.33-1.03) compared to SoC. aHR for 180-day mortality was 0.84 (95% CI 0.27-2.60) and 0.82 (95% CI 0.26-2.55) for Bed-Cycle and Book-Exe compared to SoC. Number of readmission days was 226 for SoC, 161 for Bed-Cycle, and 179 for Book-Exe. Incidence rate ratio for readmission days was 0.73 (95% CI 0.48-1.10) and 0.77 (95% CI 0.51-1.15) for Bed-Cycle and Book-Exe compared to SoC.
    Conclusion: Although supervised exercise training during admission with CAP did not reduce LOS or mortality, this trial suggests its potential to reduce readmission risk and number of readmission days.

    Abstract Background: Adiponectin is secreted by adipocytes and is inversely associated with obesity. Given the association between low body mass index (BMI) and higher mortality risk after community-acquired pneumonia (CAP), we hypothesized that high adiponectin levels are associated with a higher risk of adverse clinical outcomes in patients with CAP.
    Methods: In a prospective cohort study of 502 patients hospitalized with CAP, adiponectin was measured in serum at admission. The associations between adiponectin and clinical outcomes were estimated with logistic regression analyses adjusted for age, sex, and measures of obesity (BMI, waist circumference or body fat percentage).
    Results: Adiponectin was associated with higher 90-day mortality for each 1 μg/mL increase [OR 1.02, 95% CI (1.00, 1.04),
    Conclusion: Adiponectin was positively associated with mortality and readmission. The association with mortality depended on low body fat, whereas the association with readmission risk was independent of obesity.

    Abstract Background: Impaired functional status is a risk factor for hospitalization in patients with community-acquired pneumonia (CAP). The aim was to determine the influence of functional status and physical activity level on severe outcomes, including length of stay, admission to the intensive care unit (ICU), readmission, and mortality in patients with CAP. Methods: A prospective cohort study among patients hospitalized with CAP. Functional status was assessed with the Barthel index and grip strength, and physical activity level was assessed using the international physical activity questionnaire. Linear regression was used to assess the association with length of stay, and logistic regression was used to assess the risk of severe outcomes. Results: Among 355 patients admitted with CAP, 18% had a low Barthel index (<80), 45% had a low grip strength, and 75% had a low physical activity level. Low Barthel index was associated with increased risk of ICU admission (OR 3.6, 95% CI 1.2−10.9), longer length of stay (27.9%, 95% CI 2.3−59.7%), readmission within 30, 90, and 180 days (OR 2.1−2.4, p < 0.05), and mortality within 90 and 180 days (OR 4.2−5.0, p < 0.05). Low grip strength was associated with increased risk of 90 days readmission (OR 1.6, 95% CI 1.0−2.6, p < 0.05) and mortality within 30, 90, and 180 days (OR 2.6−3.2, p < 0.05). Low physical activity level was associated with increased risk of readmission within 90 and 180 days (OR 1.8−2.1, p < 0.05) and mortality within 30, 90, and 180 days (OR 3.3−5.5, p < 0.05). Conclusions: Impaired functional status and low physical activity level were associated with a longer length of stay and increased risk of ICU admission, readmission, and mortality in patients hospitalized with CAP. Routine assessment of functional status and physical activity level in clinical care could enable early identification of individuals with excess risk for a poor prognosis.

    Abstract Background: Bed rest with limited physical activity is common during admission. The aim was to determine the association between daily step count and physical activity levels during and after admission with community-acquired pneumonia (CAP) and the risk of readmission and mortality.
    Methods: A prospective cohort study of 166 patients admitted with CAP. Step count and physical activity were assessed with accelerometers during and after admission and were categorised as sedentary, light, or moderate-vigorous physical activity. Linear regression was used to assess the association between step count and length of stay. Logistic regression was used to assess the association between step count, physical activity level, and risk of readmission and mortality.
    Results: Patients admitted with CAP were sedentary, light physically active, and moderate-to-vigorous physically active 96.4%, 2.6%, and 0.9% of their time, respectively, with 1356 steps/d. For every 500-step increase in daily step count on day 1, the length of stay was reduced by 6.6%. For every 500-step increase in daily step count during admission, in-hospital and 30-day mortality was reduced. Increased light and moderate-to-vigorous physical activity during admission were associated with reduced risk of in-hospital and 30-day mortality. After discharge, patients increased their daily step count to 2654 steps/d and spent more time performing light and moderate-to-vigorous physical activity. For every 500-step increase in daily step count after discharge, the risk of readmission was reduced. Higher moderate-to-vigorous physical activity after discharge was associated with a reduced risk of readmission.
    Conclusions: Increased physical activity during admission was associated with a reduced length of stay and risk of mortality, whereas increased physical activity after discharge was associated with a reduced risk of readmission in patients with CAP. Interventions focusing on increasing physical activity levels should be prioritised to improve the prognosis of patients admitted with CAP.

    Abstract In chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), the progressive loss of lung tissue is widely considered irreversible. Thus, various treatment and rehabilitation schemes, including exercise-based pulmonary rehabilitation (PR) are thought to slow down but not reverse or halt the disease. Nonetheless, the adult lung conceals the intrinsic capacity for de novo lung tissue formation in the form of abundant progenitor/stem cell populations. In COPD, these maintain their differentiation potential but appear to be halted by a state of cellular senescence in the mesenchyme, which normally functions to support and coordinate their function. We propose that notably high-intensity interval training may improve pulmonary gas exchange during exercise in patients with COPD by interrupting mesenchymal senescence, thus reestablishing adaptive angiogenesis. By means of this, the downward spiral of dyspnea, poor quality of life, physical inactivity, and early death often observed in COPD may be interrupted. If this is the case, the perception of the regenerative capacity of the lungs will be fundamentally changed, which will warrant future clinical trials on various exercise schemes and other treatments targeting the formation of new lung tissue in COPD.

    Abstract Background: Different pathogens can cause community-acquired pneumonia (CAP); however, the novel severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) causing coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) has re-emphasized the vital role of respiratory viruses as a cause of CAP. The aim was to explore differences in metabolic profile, body composition, physical capacity, and inflammation between patients hospitalized with CAP caused by different etiology.
    Methods: A prospective study of Danish patients hospitalized with CAP caused by SARS-CoV-2, influenza, or bacteria. Fat (FM) and fat-free mass (FFM) were assessed with bioelectrical impedance analysis. Physical activity and capacity were assessed using questionnaires and handgrip strength. Plasma (p)-glucose, p-lipids, hemoglobin A1c (HbA1c), p-adiponectin, and cytokines were measured.
    Results: Among 164 patients with CAP, etiology did not affect admission levels of glucose, HbA1c, adiponectin, or lipids. Overall, 15.2% had known diabetes, 6.1% had undiagnosed diabetes, 51.3% had pre-diabetes, 81% had hyperglycemia, and 60% had low HDL-cholesterol, with no difference between groups. Body mass index, FM, and FFM were similar between groups, with 73% of the patients being characterized with abdominal obesity, although waist circumference was lower in patients with COVID-19. Physical capacity was similar between groups. More than 80% had low handgrip strength and low physical activity levels. Compared to patients with influenza, patients with COVID-19 had increased levels of interferon (IFN)-γ (mean difference (MD) 4.14; 95% CI 1.36-12.58; p = 0.008), interleukin (IL)-4 (MD 1.82; 95% CI 1.12-2.97; p = 0.012), IL-5 (MD 2.22; 95% CI 1.09-4.52; p = 0.024), and IL-6 (MD 2.41; 95% CI 1.02-5.68; p = 0.044) and increased IFN-γ (MD 6.10; 95% CI 2.53-14.71; p < 0.001) and IL-10 (MD 2.68; 95% CI 1.53-4.69; p < 0.001) compared to patients with bacterial CAP, but no difference in IL-1β, tumor necrosis factor-α, IL-8, IL-18, IL-12p70, C-reactive protein, and adiponectin.
    Conclusion: Despite higher inflammatory response in patients with COVID-19, metabolic profile, body composition, and physical capacity were similar to patients with influenza and bacterial CAP.

    Abstract C-reactive protein (CRP) is commonly used to guide community-acquired pneumonia (CAP) treatment. A positive association between admission glucose and CRP levels has been observed in patients with CAP. The associations between prediabetes, unknown diabetes, acute-on-chronic hyperglycaemia, and CRP levels, and between admission CRP levels and insulin resistance (IR) in CAP, remain unexplored. This study investigated the associations firstly between chronic, acute, and acute-on-chronic hyperglycaemia and CRP levels, and secondly between admission CRP levels and IR in CAP. In a prospective cohort study of adults with CAP, the associations between chronic, acute, and acute-on-chronic hyperglycaemia (admission glucose minus HbA1c-derived average glucose) and CRP levels until admission day 3 were modelled with repeated-measures linear mixed models. IR was estimated with the homeostasis model assessment of IR (HOMA-IR). The association between admission CRP levels and HOMA-IR was modelled with linear regression. In 540 patients, no association between chronic, acute, or acute-on-chronic hyperglycaemia and CRP levels was found. In 266 patients, every 50 mg/L increase in admission CRP was associated with a 7% (95% CI 1-14%) higher HOMA-IR. In conclusion, our findings imply that hyperglycaemia does not influence CRP levels in patients with CAP, although admission CRP levels were positively associated with IR.

    Abstract Ferritin, the central iron storage protein, has attracted attention as a biomarker of severe COVID-19. Few studies have investigated regulators of iron metabolism in the context of COVID-19. The aim was to evaluate biomarkers for iron metabolism in the acute phase response to community-acquired pneumonia (CAP) caused by SARS-CoV-2 compared with CAP caused by bacteria or influenza virus in hospitalized patients. A cross-sectional study of 164 patients from the Surviving Pneumonia Cohort recruited between January 8, 2019 and May 26, 2020. Blood samples were collected at admission and analyzed for levels of C-reactive protein (CRP), ferritin, soluble transferrin receptor, erythroferrone, and hepcidin. Median (IQR) hepcidin was higher in SARS-CoV-2 with 143.8 (100.7-180.7) ng/mL compared with bacterial and influenza infection with 78.8 (40.1-125.4) and 53.5 (25.2-125.8) ng/mL, respectively. The median ferritin level was more than 2-fold higher in patients with SARS-CoV-2 compared with the other etiologies (p < 0.001). Patients with SARS-CoV-2 had lower levels of erythroferrone and CRP compared with those infected with bacteria. Higher levels of hepcidin and lower levels of erythroferrone despite lower CRP levels among patients with SARS-CoV-2 compared with those infected with bacteria indicate alterations in iron metabolism in patients with SARS-CoV-2 infection.

    Abstract Aim: To explore pituitary-gonadal hormone concentrations and assess their association with inflammation, severe respiratory failure, and mortality in hospitalized men and women with COVID-19, and compare these to hormone concentrations in hospitalized patients with bacterial community-acquired pneumonia (CAP) and influenza virus CAP and to concentrations in a reference group of healthy individuals.
    Methods: Serum concentrations of testosterone, estrone sulfate, luteinizing hormone (LH), follicle-stimulating hormone (FSH), and interleukin-6 (IL-6) were measured within 4 days of admission. Associations were assessed by logistic regression analysis in patients with COVID-19, and results were reported as odds ratio with 95% CI per two-fold reduction after adjustment for age, comorbidities, days to sample collection, and IL-6 concentrations.
    Results: In total, 278 patients with COVID-19, 21 with influenza virus CAP, and 76 with bacterial CAP were included. Testosterone concentrations were suppressed in men hospitalized with COVID-19, bacterial and influenza virus CAP, and moderately suppressed in women. Reductions in testosterone (OR: 3.43 (1.14-10.30), P = 0.028) and LH (OR: 2.51 (1.28-4.92), P = 0.008) were associated with higher odds of mehanical ventilation (MV) in men with COVID-19. In women with COVID-19, reductions in LH (OR: 3.34 (1.02-10-90), P = 0.046) and FSH (OR: 2.52 (1.01-6.27), P = 0.047) were associated with higher odds of MV.
    Conclusion: Low testosterone and LH concentrations were predictive of severe respiratory failure in men with COVID-19, whereas low concentrations of LH and FSH were predictive of severe respiratory failure in women with COVID-19.
