CONCLUSIONS: Significantly declining rates of timely vaccination were observed during the COVID-19 Surging Period, which lasted two months, but not during the nearly three-year-long COVID-19 Low Epidemic Period. An upward trend in vaccination
CONCLUSIONS: Diabetes, hypertension and obesity were associated with an increased risk of COVID-19 mortality independent of other known risk factors, particularly in low-resource settings. Addressing these chronic diseases could be important for
CONCLUSIONS: The survival-to-discharge rate in VAP patients was low. Moreover, VAP patients tended to have long ICU stays, low BMI, and high SOFA scores on admission. Unusually, S. maltophilia was the most common isolated bacteria, which may be
BACKGROUND: Abnormal liver function was frequently observed in nonalcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) patients infected with SARS-CoV-2. Our aim was to explore the effect of SARS-CoV-2 inactivated vaccines on liver function abnormality among NAFLD
CONCLUSIONS: The results of the EPIC program will provide data to describe the impact of the health crisis on KP and CHWs and identify their emerging needs. Documentation of innovative solutions that were put into place in this context may help
We have analyzed the selection pressure of all severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 genes by means of the nonsynonymous (Ka) to synonymous (Ks) substitution rate. We found that protein-coding genes are exposed to strong positive selection
CONCLUSIONS: Facebook discussion groups were more effective for people who trusted PHIs and non-conservatives. Health communicators may need to segment health messaging and develop strategies around trust views.
Post-pandemic, it is essential to understand the epidemiology of pediatric acute respiratory tract infections (ARTIs). Our multi-facility study elucidates the outpatient epidemiology of pediatric ARTI using highly multiplexed PCR testing, providing
