Abstract Background We describe demographic features, treatments and clinical outcomes in the International Severe Acute Respiratory emerging Infection Consortium (ISARIC) COVID-19 cohort, one of world's largest international, standardized data sets concerning hospitalized patients. Methods The set analysed includes patients between January 2020 2022 52 countries. investigated how symptoms on admission, co-morbidities, risk factors varied by age, sex other characteristics. used Cox...
COVID-19 emerged as a major public health outbreak in late 2019. Malaysia reported its first imported case on 25th January 2020, and adopted policy of extensive contact tracing hospitalising all cases. We describe the clinical characteristics cases nationwide determine risk factors associated with disease severity.Clinical records RT-PCR confirmed aged ≥12 years admitted to 18 designated hospitals between 1st February 30th May 2020 complete outcomes were retrieved. Epidemiological history,...
This study aims to investigate the association between smoking and severity of COVID-19 infection during initial wave this pandemic in Malaysia.
Abstract ISARIC (International Severe Acute Respiratory and emerging Infections Consortium) partnerships outbreak preparedness initiatives enabled the rapid launch of standardised clinical data collection on COVID-19 in Jan 2020. Extensive global participation has resulted a large, comprehensive from hundreds sites across dozens countries. Data are analysed regularly reported publicly to inform patient care public health response. This report, our 18th final is part series published over 3...
By September 2022, more than 600 million cases of SARS-CoV-2 infection have been reported globally, resulting in over 6.5 deaths. COVID-19 mortality risk estimators are often, however, developed with small unrepresentative samples and methodological limitations. It is highly important to develop predictive tools for pulmonary embolism (PE) patients as one the most severe preventable complications COVID-19. Early recognition can help provide life-saving targeted anti-coagulation therapy right...
Whilst timely clinical characterisation of infections caused by novel SARS-CoV-2 variants is necessary for evidence-based policy response, individual-level data on infecting are typically only available a minority patients and settings. Here, we propose an innovative approach to study changes in COVID-19 hospital presentation outcomes after the Omicron variant emergence using publicly population-level relative frequency infer likely responsible cases. We apply this method collected large...
The Food Safety and Quality Division (FSQD) in Malaysia is the competent authority tasked with ensuring food safety throughout supply chain within country. Despite implementing various regulations toward improving hygiene standards Malaysia, outbreaks of poisoning cases continued to occur Malaysia. This cross-sectional study was designed explore occurrence incidents Pahang state, from 2013 2018 via both reported passive case detection (PCD) active (ACD) incidents. Upon detecting all using...
Abstract Aim: The purpose of this paper is to describe the recruitment strategies, response rates and reasons for non-response Malaysian public private primary care doctors in an international survey on quality, cost equity care. Background: Low research participation by doctors, especially those working sector, a challenge quality benchmarking. Methods: Primary were sampled through multi-stage sampling. first stage-sampling unit was clinics, which randomly from five states Malaysia reflect...
By September, 2022, more than 600 million cases of SARS-CoV-2 infection have been reported globally, resulting in over 6.5 deaths. COVID-19 mortality risk estimators are often, however, developed with small unrepresentative samples and methodological limitations. It is highly important to develop predictive tools for pulmonary embolism (PE) patients as one the most severe preventable complications COVID-19. Using a dataset 800,000 from an international cohort, we propose cost-sensitive...
Background: COVID-19 emerged as a major public health outbreak in China late 2019. Malaysia reported its first imported case on 25 January 2020, and adopted policy of extensive contact tracing hospitalizing all patients, regardless severity. We describe clinical characteristics patients nationwide determine the risk factors associated with disease severity. Method: Clinical records RT-PCR confirmed admitted to 18 designated hospitals between 1 February 30 April 2020 complete outcomes were...

Background: The publication rates of abstracts after they were presented at the National Conference for Clinical Research (NCCR), a scientific conference held in Malaysia, was determined to gauge value conference, whilst providing comparative information with other conferences. Methods: All that NCCR from 2014 2016 analysed. Keywords abstract title, along first, second, and last author’s name, searched via PubMed, Google Scholar, Scopus determine status. Results: A total 320 Of those, 57...
Globally, shifting COVID-19 from a pandemic into an endemic phase is being highly debated due to various vaccination strategies, environmental factors, host population demographics, and the emergence of new SARS-CoV-2 variants with higher infectivity.[[1]Challen R Brooks-Pollock E Read JM Dyson L Tsaneva-Atanasova K Danon L.
