Such antigen tests can be used to determine SARS-CoV-2 infection or non-infection in the general population and will provide useful information for social activities. In this study, we investigated the safety and usefulness of self-collection of nasal swab fluid and the sensitivity and specificity of the antigen test. This clinical trial was conducted with the approval of the Clinical Trial Review Committee of Seijin Hospital (Tokyo, Japan). Research design, subjects and evaluation items Subjects: 3898 office workers, participants in music concerts and sports events. PanbioTMCOVID19AgRapidTestDevice Kit for SARSCoV-2 antigen test (Abott Diagnostic Medical) was used for SARS-CoV-2 antigen test. The safety of self-collection of nasal swab fluid was determined by the presence or absence of nasal bleeding. To verify the sensitivity and specificity of the antigen test, the results from the antigen tests were compared with the PCR test (Ct value) results. Results: 1. Safety: 91 out of 3898 (2.3%) had nasal bleeding. 2. Positive and negative concordance rate of antigen test and PCR test: 92.3%. Summary and conclusions Self-specimen collection using the SARS-Cov2 antigen assay kit is safe. The concordance rate between antigen test and PCR test is 92.3%. Panbio TM COVID19 Ag Rapid Test Device Kit for SARSCoV-2 antigen test is useful not only for diagnosis of COVID-19 but also for screening asymptomatic patients.

One month ago the patient suffered from mild COVID-19 with positive PCR test but no abnormalities on chest CT scan. At the moment of examination his oxygen saturation was decreased to 89% and 78% in standing and supine position correspondingly. Pulmonary embolism was excluded. Orthopnea and paradoxical abdominal wall movement during breathing in supine position were observed. Spirometry showed restrictive disorders (FVC 49%, FEV1 48%, FEV1/FVC ratio 0.78). In supine position FVC declined to 19%. Gas transfer for carbon monoxide (TLCO) was reduced to 4.81 mmol/min/kPa (49%) but KCO was normal. Patient was characterized by reduced lung volumes (TLC 74%), preserved RV (117%) and normal airway resistance (Reff < 30 кПа*s/l). Maximal inspiratory pressure was decreased (25 cmH20). Ultrasonography showed no diaphragm thickening with inspiration. CT scan of the chest revealed elevated diaphragmatic domes with significantly thinned diaphragmatic cruras and bibasilar atelectasis. Electromyography of the diaphragm was not performed as this method was unavailable neither in our clinic nor in the other regional medical institutions. Thus, the patient was diagnosed with bilateral diaphragm dysfunction that we believe may be a complication of COVID-19 infection. The underlying pathological mechanism of this disorder needs to be further elucidated.","PeriodicalId":162871,"journal":{"name":"Respirology (Carlton, Vic.)","volume":"126 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-11-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"124609227","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Method and Outcome Measures: The study used a retrospective cohort analysis which includes adult patients 18 years old and above admitted or transferred at critical care unit who were intubated and were diagnosed and treated as ventilator associated pneumonia (VAP). The relationship of the clinical characteristics of patients with VAP, antimicrobial resistance pattern and patient’s outcome including prolonged hospital stay (>21 days), ventilator dependence and mortality were measured. Results: A total of 164 patients were included. Mean time of hospital stay is 40 days in the MDR group (p-value 0.03). Presence of chronic lung disease is a significant risk factor in the development of VAP (p value 0.03). Mortality among patients with VAP is 53.7% and is significant in the MDR group (p value 0.05). Antibiotic use within the previous 90 days showed significance in mortality (OR 2.72; p value 0.003). Presence of chronic kidney disease is significant in developing ventilator dependence (OR 0.42, p value 0.05).

Conclusion: Recognition of the risk factors in the development of mortality among patients with VAP are significant to reduce adverse clinical outcomes.
