Durante la temporada 2017-2018 y siguiendo el protocolo de la Sociedad Internacional para el Avance de la Cineantropometría, se evaluó la composición corporal el somatotipo y proporcionalidad de 25 ...jugadoras españolas de elite de 15-18 años (15,48 ± 1,05). El porcentaje de grasa corporal (%GC) analizado por antropometría estuvo en un rango de 14,21% - 17,30 % y mediante BIA entre 24,20%-29,63%. La menor adiposidad correspondió a jugadoras de banda y la mayor a porteras y delanteras. El somatotipo medio fue 3,67-4,10-1,90 para el conjunto de la muestra; En la categoría sub-18 (3,10-4,33-1,82) la dispersión somatotípica fue menor y la mesomorfia mayor que en la categoría Sub 16 (3,20-3,97-1,95). En análisis de proporcionalidad, mostro que las jugadoras, sobre todo las Sub18, presentan menores pliegues subcutáneos y mayores perímetros en la extremidad inferior que el modelo Phantom.
To compare the severity of pulmonary embolism (PE) and the long-term complications between patients with and without COVID-19, and to investigate whether the tools for risk stratification of death ...are valid in this population.
We retrospectively included hospitalized patients with PE from 1 January 2016 to 31 December 2022. Comparisons for acute episode characteristics, risk stratification of the PE, outcomes, and long-term complications were made between COVID and non-COVID patients.
We analyzed 116 (27.5%) COVID patients and 305 (72.4%) non-COVID patients. In patients with COVID-19, the traditional risk factors for PE were absent, and the incidence of deep vein thrombosis was lower. COVID patients showed significantly higher lymphocyte count, lactate dehydrogenase, lactic acid, and D-dimer levels. COVID patients had PE of smaller size (12.3% vs. 25.5% main pulmonary artery, 29.8% vs. 37.1% lobar, 44.7% vs. 29.5% segmental and 13.2% vs. 7.9% subsegmental, respectively; p < 0.001), less right ventricular dysfunction (7.7% vs. 17.7%; p = 0.007) and higher sPESI score (1.66 vs. 1.11; p < 0.001). The need for mechanical ventilation was significantly higher in COVID patients (8.6% vs. 1.3%; p < 0.001); However, the in-hospital death was less (5.2% vs. 10.8%; p = 0.074). The incidence of long-term complications was lower in COVID cohort (p < 0.001). PE severity assessed by high sPESI and intermediate and high-risk categories were independently associated with in-hospital mortality in COVID patients.
The risk of in-hospital mortality and the incidence of long-term complications were lower in COVID-19. The usual tools for risk stratification of PE are valid in COVID patients.
