CONCLUSIONS AND RELEVANCE: In this cohort study of Medicaid enrollees receiving buprenorphine for OUD, telemedicine buprenorphine initiation was associated with retention in treatment early during the COVID-19 pandemic. These findings add to the
CONCLUSIONS: Burkholderia outbreaks at the time of COVID-19 were associated with high mortality. Rapid detection and response by a dedicated experienced team (as in the second outbreak) can reduce mortality and prevent superimposed cross-transmission
CONCLUSION: The estimated low seroprevalence (which indicates a relatively limited spread of SARS-CoV-2 in Quebec) might change rapidly-and this tool, developed using blood donors, could enable a rapid update of the prevalence estimate in the absence
COVID-19 vaccines have played a critical role in controlling the COVID-19 pandemic. Although overall considered safe, COVID-19 vaccination has been associated with rare but severe thrombotic events, occurring mainly in the context of adenoviral
CONCLUSIONS: LTRs with COVID-19 continue to have high hospitalization rates and prolonged hospital stays, despite reduced virulence of the Omicron variant. More effective PrEP and therapeutic interventions for COVID-19 among vulnerable patient groups
CONCLUSIONS: Despite the similar mode of transmission, COVID-19, TB and leprosy show a different distribution of cases in Fortaleza. In addition, associated risk factors are related to wealth in COVID-19 and to poverty in TB and leprosy. These
CONCLUSION: The study revealed no obvious changes in hospitalizations for periprosthetic fractures despite social restrictions during the first wave of the COVID-19 pandemic. In emergency, hospitals were still able to provide standard care for
CONCLUSION: Results show that the policy preparedness indicators have predictive value of the confirmed cases, mortality, and vaccination coverage of COVID-19 pandemic, given sufficiently long-time span is observed.
Hospital-based transmission had a dominant role in Middle East respiratory syndrome coronavirus (MERS-CoV) and severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus (SARS-CoV) epidemics^(1,2), but large-scale studies of its role in the SARS-CoV-2 pandemic
