RESUMEN
Objetivo: Evaluar la mortalidad y diversos factores clínicos derivados del desarrollo de neumotórax (NTX) y/o neumomediastino (NMD) atraumáticos en pacientes críticos como consecuencia de la debilidad pulmonar asociada a la COVID-19 (DPAC). Diseño: Revisión sistemática con metaanálisis. Ámbito: Unidad de cuidados intensivos (UCI). Participantes: Investigaciones originales en las que se evaluase a pacientes, con o sin necesidad de ventilación mecánica invasiva (VMI), con diagnóstico de COVID-19 que hubiesen desarrollado NTX o NMD atraumáticos al ingreso o durante su estancia hospitalaria. Intervenciones: Se obtuvieron los datos de interés de cada artículo que fueron analizados y evaluados por la Escala Newcastle-Ottawa. El riesgo de las variables de interés principales se evaluó por los datos derivados de los estudios que incluyeron a pacientes que desarrollaron NTX o NMD atraumáticos. Variables de interés principales: Mortalidad, estancia media en la UCI y PaO2/FiO2 media en el momento diagnóstico. Resultados: Se recogieron datos de 12 estudios longitudinales. En el metaanálisis se incluyeron datos de un total de 4.901 pacientes, entre los cuales 1.629 presentaron un episodio de NTX y 253 de NMD atraumáticos. A pesar de encontrar asociaciones significativamente fuertes, la alta heterogeneidad entre los estudios hace que la interpretación de los resultados deba hacerse con cautela. Conclusiones: La mortalidad de los pacientes con COVID-19 fue mayor en los que desarrollaron NTX y/o NMD atraumáticos con respecto a los que no lo hicieron. La media del índice PaO2/FiO2 fue menor en los pacientes que desarrollaron NTX y/o NMD atraumáticos. Proponemos agrupar bajo el término DPAC estos casos. (AU)
Objectives: To assess mortality and different clinical factors derived from the development of atraumatic pneumothorax (PNX) and/or pneumomediastinum (PNMD) in critically ill patients as a consequence of COVID-19-associated lung weakness (CALW). Design: Systematic review with meta-analysis. Setting: Intensive care unit (ICU). Participants: Original research evaluating patients, with or without the need for protective invasive mechanical ventilation (IMV), with a diagnosis of COVID-19 who had developed atraumatic PNX or PNMD on admission or during their hospital stay. Interventions: Data of interest were obtained from each article and analysed and assessed by the Newcastle-Ottawa Scale. The risk of the variables of interest was assessed by data derived from studies including patients who developed atraumatic PNX or PNMD. Main variables of interest: Mortality, mean ICU length of stay and mean PaO2/FiO2 at diagnosis. Results: Data were collected from 12 longitudinal studies. Data from a total of 4,901 patients were included in the meta-analysis. A total of 1,629 patients had an episode of atraumatic PNX and 253 patients had an episode of atraumatic PNMD. Despite finding significantly strong associations, the high heterogeneity between studies means that interpretation of the results should be made with caution. Conclusions: Mortality of COVID-19 patients was higher in those who developed atraumatic PNX and/or PNMD compared to those who did not. The mean PaO2/FiO2 index was lower in patients who developed atraumatic PNX and/or PNMD. We propose to group these cases under the term CAPD. (AU)

Despite the finding of significantly strong associations, the great heterogeneity between studies implies that the interpretation of results should be made with caution. CONCLUSIONS: Mortality among COVID-19 patients was higher in those who developed atraumatic PNX and/or PNMD compared to those who did not. The mean PaO2/FiO2 index was lower in patients who developed atraumatic PNX and/or PNMD. We propose grouping these cases under the term COVID-19-associated lung weakness (CALW).

RESUMEN
PURPOSE: Monofocal intraocular lenses (IOLs) used in cataract surgery are designed to improve visual acuity (VA). The available evidence of new monofocal IOLs" functional benefits is limited. The aim of this meta-analysis was to analyze the improvement in VA using Tecnis Eyhance monofocal IOLs compared to standard monofocal IOLs Tecnis ZCB00. METHODS: MEDLINE, Web of Science and Scopus were searched for studies assessing improvement in intermediate VA using Tecnis Eyhance IOLs versus Tecnis ZCB00 IOLs. Studies evaluating post-operative VA in patients who underwent cataract surgery were selected. This meta-analysis followed PRISMA guidelines and was registered in PROSPERO. The Cochrane Risk of Bias Tool 2.0. was used to assess the methodological quality of the included studies, risk of selection bias and comparability of cohorts and outcomes. RESULTS: The search resulted in 1153 articles. Five studies met the inclusion criteria and were included in the meta-analysis. A total of 604 eyes were evaluated, of which 309 received Tecnis Eyhance IOLs and 295 were implanted with Tecnis ZCB00 IOLs. Mean binocular distant-corrected intermediate VA with Tecnis Eyhance IOLs at 2 weeks-1 month showed a significant difference of -0,21 logMAR, p < 0.001; and mean binocular distance-corrected intermediate VA with Tecnis Eyhance IOLs at 6 months showed a significant difference of -0,11 logMAR, p < 0.001. CONCLUSION: Near VA could not be assessed in this meta-analysis as it was measured in very few studies. Preliminary pooled evidence indicates that intermediate VA improved with Tecnis Eyhance IOLs. Further studies evaluating near VA and with longer follow-up are still necessary.
