Introduction: New York City is one of the areas most affected by COVID-19 pandemic in United States. Healthcare workers are among those at high risk contracting virus, and a vital source information trust vaccines to community. Methods: This study was conducted about attitudes towards vaccination healthcare public hospital during beginning vaccination. 428 employees responded. Results: Several factors were significantly associated with vaccine attitudes, including demographics such as gender...
BackgroundNew York City (NYC) has endured the greatest burden of COVID-19 infections in US. Health inequities South Bronx predisposed this community to a large number infectious cases, hospitalizations, and mortality. care workers (HCWs) are at high risk exposure infection. This study aims assess seroprevalence associated characteristics consenting HCWs from an NYC public hospital.MethodsThis cross-sectional includes serum samples for qualitative SARS-CoV-2 antibody testing with...
Hospitalized patients with COVID-19 demonstrate a higher risk of developing thromboembolism. Anticoagulation (AC) has been proposed for high-risk patients, even without confirmed However, benefits and risks AC are not well assessed due to insufficient clinical data. We performed retrospective analysis outcomes from in large population patients.We retrospectively reviewed 1189 hospitalized between March 5 May 15, 2020, primary mortality, invasive mechanical ventilation, major bleeding....
Despite the development of several effective vaccines, SARS-CoV-2 continues to spread, causing serious illness among unvaccinated. Healthcare professionals are trusted sources information about vaccination, and therefore understanding attitudes beliefs healthcare regarding vaccines is utmost importance. We conducted a survey-based study understand factors affecting COVID-19 vaccine health care in NYC Health Hospitals, at time when was new, received 3759 responses. Machine learning chi-square...
New York City's (NYC) public health system, which predominantly serves lower-income communities, bore the burden of care and had to ramp up services respond rapidly evolving COVID-19 pandemic. An increase in critical-care beds, staffing, equipment was integral response, especially our hospital South Bronx, where number intensive unit (ICU) beds were augmented from 34 195 (Uppal et al., 2020). Hospitalized patients with usually have severe/critical infection acute respiratory distress...
Dynamics of humoral immune responses to SARS-CoV-2 antigens following infection suggest an initial decay antibody followed by subsequent stabilisation. We aim understand the longitudinal nucleocapsid (N) protein and spike (S) evaluate their correlation clinical symptoms among healthcare workers (HCWs).A prospective study.This study was conducted in a New York City public hospital South Bronx, York.HCWs participated phase 1 (N=500) were up 4 months later 2 (N=178) study. They underwent PCR...
Predicting the mortality risk of patients with Coronavirus Disease 2019 (COVID-19) can be valuable in allocating limited medical resources setting outbreaks. This study assessed role a chest X-ray (CXR) scoring system multivariable model predicting COVID-19 by performing single-center, retrospective, observational including consecutive admitted confirmed diagnosis and an initial CXR. The CXR severity score was calculated three radiologists 12 to 15 years experience thoracic imaging, based on...
Abstract Background : Hospitalized patients with COVID-19 demonstrate a higher risk of developing thromboembolism. Anticoagulation (AC) has been proposed for high-risk patients, even without confirmed However, benefits and risks AC are not well assessed due to insufficient clinical data. We performed retrospective analysis outcomes from in large population patients. Methods retrospectively reviewed 1189 hospitalized between March 15 May 15, 2020, primary mortality, invasive mechanical...
Abstract Background Minority groups have the lowest vaccination rates when compared to overall population. We aim study attitudes and perceptions of COVID-19 vaccination, about six months after vaccine rollout in South Bronx. Methods Cross-sectional anonymized online survey evaluating knowledge, attitude perception using SurveyMonkey™ was conducted Bronx community from April - June 2021. Results Of 281 participants, 67% were Latinx 16% African American (AA); 69% (195) fully vaccinated (FV)...
Abstract Background There seems to be a gap in the therapeutic options for severe Covid-19 pneumonia. Though beneficial effect of combination treatment with baricitnib and remdesivir accelerating clinical status improvement is described, impact triple therapy baricitinib + remdesivir/dexamethasone not known. Methods A retrospective observational study comparing plus standard (remdesivir dexamethasone) patients requiring ≥ 5 L/min O2 was conducted. The primary outcome compared time recovery...
Abstract Background Dynamics of humoral immune responses to SARS-CoV-2 antigens following infection suggests an initial decay antibody followed by subsequent stabilization. We aim understand the longitudinal nucleocapsid (N) protein and spike (S) evaluate their correlation clinical symptoms among healthcare workers (HCW). Methods In this cross-sectional cohort study done in two phases over four months, HCW underwent serial qualitative serology testing for anti-N antibody, quantitative...
Abstract Background Comparative data on bloodstream infections (BSI) in hospitalized patients with and without SARS-CoV2 positive test is lacking. Methods A retrospective observational study comparing COVID-19 infection was performed from Jan1- May 1, 2020. Patient demographics, clinical microbiological characteristics of infections, therapeutic interventions outcomes compared between the two groups. Results Of 155 BSI, 104 were PCR negative (N) while 51 (Table 1). Majority positives (P) had...
Abstract Background There is a paucity of data bloodstream infections (BSI) before and during the COVID-19 pandemic. The aim our study was to compare incidence characteristics blood stream in hospitalized patients surge pandemic community hospital South Bronx. Methods This retrospective observational comparative adult with BSI admitted (Jan 1-Feb 28, 2020) (Mar 1- May 1,2020). BSI, patient demographics, clinical microbiological including treatment outcomes were compared. Results Of 155 64...
