Description
Marina Melo Martin and co-authors profiled young adults treated in intensive care for COVID-19 in São Paulo in a 2026 retrospective study. Most pandemic ICU research centered on older patients, leaving the young adult picture thinner.
The longitudinal study covered 105 patients aged 20 to 40 admitted between April 2021 and December 2022 at a university hospital. Mortality reached 27.6 percent. Sex, ethnicity, arriving from the emergency room, hemodynamic instability, and use of vasoactive drugs, ventilation, heparin, and corticosteroids all associated with death, as did C-reactive protein, lactate, and lymphocyte levels. Raised lactate and longer time on vasoactive drugs emerged as risk factors. The profile helps intensivists spot which younger patients are sliding toward danger.
