CONCLUSIONS: Patients undergoing hemodialysis showed low anxiety and high self-efficacy. No significant relationship was found between COVID-19 anxiety and self-efficacy, but a weak correlation was observed with the physical dimension of anxiety
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
CONCLUSION: TREM-2 and TREM-1 are critical host immune factors that response to SARS-COV-2 infection and could serve as potential diagnostic biomarkers and therapeutic targets for COVID-19.
CONCLUSIONS: The effectiveness of the triage and alert validation process was affected by the complexity of implementing a broad clinical definition in limited-resource settings with a pre-pandemic epidemiological profile characterised by infectious
