“Study Reveals Surprising Cause of Death in COVID-19 Patients”

The World Health Organization has ended the classification of Covid-19 as a global health emergency, but scientists are still working to understand more about the virus and its impact, and the latest study exploded a surprise about whether it was the real cause of death in people or if they died for another reason.

The cause of death for people with COVID-19

According to the scientific journal “Science Alert”, a new analysis indicates that a high percentage of people who required a ventilator due to “Covid-19” infection also developed secondary bacterial pneumonia, and this pneumonia was responsible for a higher death rate than Covid-19 infection. 19.

Although many people with COVID-19 spent time in hospital, it was a ventilator infection that was likely to be the cause of death when the infection did not respond to treatment.

“Our study highlights the importance of aggressively preventing, researching, and treating secondary bacterial pneumonia in critically ill patients with severe pneumonia, including those with COVID-19,” says Benjamin Singer, MD, a pulmonologist at Northwestern University in Illinois. “.

The team looked at the records of 585 people who were admitted to the intensive care unit (ICU) at Northwestern Memorial Hospital, also in Illinois, all had severe pneumonia or respiratory failure, and 190 had COVID-19.

Using an automated approach to data analysis, the researchers monitored patients according to their condition and amount of time in intensive care.

What is the disease that killed millions around the world?

What is strange about this study is that it changes the prevailing belief that the deterioration of the patients’ condition and their death is due to Covid-19, but the study revealed that it is due to the organs’ response to inflammation and deterioration, which caused them to fail, and therefore they are likely to be responsible for a large number of deaths.

Covid-19 patients were more likely to develop ventilator-associated pneumonia (VAP), and according to the description of the study supervisor, Covid-19 patients could have lived after receiving treatment, but they died due to untreated pneumonia.

The data indicates that the death rate associated with the virus itself is relatively low, but among the causes of death are infections that occur during the stay in the intensive care unit, such as secondary bacterial pneumonia.

The findings highlight the need for further study and caution when making assumptions about the cause of death in COVID-19 cases.
