CONCLUSIONS: This protection may be relevant for public health in settings where COVID-19 vaccine coverage is still low and may have implications for research to identify vaccine candidates for COVID-19 that are broadly protective against mortality
The proportion of symptomatic patients with post-coronavirus 2019 (COVID-19) condition (long COVID) represents a significant burden on the individual as well as on the health care systems. A greater understanding of the natural evolution of symptoms
CONCLUSION: PE is a common complication of Covid 19 infection. PE is associated with a variety of clinical and laboratory parameters in univariate analysis, but age > 65, BMI > 25, DM, and associated co-morbidities were the independent patients'
CONCLUSION: Patients with ESKD and Omicron infection who are transferred to the ICU are more likely to have abnormal liver function. The baseline PALBI and NLR scores can better predict the risk of clinical deterioration and early transfer to the ICU
INTRODUCTION: COVID-19 is an infectious disease that causes severe acute respiratory syndrome. A large variety of exercise capacity tests are used for the evaluation of post-COVID-19 patients, but the psychometric properties of these exercise tests
In August 2020 the UK government announced without warning the abolition of Public Health England (PHE), the principal UK agency for the promotion and protection of public health. We undertook a research programme seeking to understand the factors
At the start of the COVID-19 pandemic, the Johns Hopkins Bloomberg School of Public Health created Public Health On Call, a podcast that features interviews with health experts about urgent issues in the response. After the initial episodes were
CONCLUSION: BMD is a risk factor for mortality in patients with severe COVID-19, but cannot be used as an independent predictor. However, MI and DD can be used as independent predictors of mortality even in severe cases.
Low plasma levels of the vitamin D metabolite 25-hydroxyvitamin D [25(OH)D] and the vitamin D receptor (VDR) gene single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) have been associated with the body's susceptibility to infectious diseases, including COVID-19
