One of the most important factors that affect the severity and prognosis of COVID-19 is the occurrence of hyperstimulation of the immune system resulting in “cytokine storm”. Similar to SARS -CoV, an intracellular complex called nod like receptor family pyrin domain containing 3 (NLRP3) inflammasome was found to be activated by SARS-CoV-2, then in turn stimulates several interleukins and initiates the inflammatory cascade. In addition, other inflammatory mediators such as interferons e.g., IFN- α, and IFN - γ, interleukins e.g., IL - 1β, IL-12, IL-18, tumor necrosis factor- α (TNF - α), and chemokines e.g., CCL2, CXCL10 have been reported in severely ill patients. These mediators represent the corner stone in developing cytokine storm that results in uncontrolled systemic inflammatory reaction with subsequent acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS), multiple organ failure and eventually death. Based on its an-ti-inflammatory effects, colchicine has also gained attention to be utilized in the management of COVID-19 patient. Colchicine exerts its anti-inflammatory effect through inhibition of formation of microtubules which is considered an essential step in several cellular processes such as division, signalling, and migration. Also, colchicine affects the cytokine cascade by inhibiting IL- 1β leading to reduction in neutrophils recruitment, free radicles production and inflammasome stimulation. This raises the concerns about the effectiveness of colchicine in COVID-19 treatment and the possibility of providing an improvement of the clinical course of the disease.","PeriodicalId":73167,"journal":{"name":"Global journal of epidemiology and infectious disease","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-12-16","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"48437871","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}

But this health burden appears dwarfed by the impact of COVID-19. Our aim is to quantify the excess mortality attributable to COVID-19, compared to previous influenza seasons.Methods: We retrospectively compare weekly mortality figures attributable to influenza and pneumonia in the United States from 2013 to 2019 with corresponding figures attributable to influenza, pneumonia, and COVID-19 from 2019 to 2021. We utilize a difference in differences regression methodology to estimate excess mortality observed in 2019-21 compared to 2013-2019.Results: Mortality patterns attributable to influenza, pneumonia, and COVID-19 differ significantly from the 2013-19 experience. Notably, distinct, aperiodic mortality waves occur in the 2019-2021 window, and mortality is well in excess of what is observed in typical influenza seasons.Conclusions: The COVID-19 pandemic has led to considerable excess mortality in the United States, and has strained public health resources. One might expect that the mortality waves observed during the pandemic will be damped by increasing levels of vaccination, and prior infections.","PeriodicalId":73167,"journal":{"name":"Global journal of epidemiology and infectious disease","volume":"1 1","pages":"62-65"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC10416805/pdf/","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"10002049","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
