Abstract This cross-sectional study aimed to investigate the post-acute consequences of COVID-19. We conducted a self-administered questionnaire survey on sequelae, psychological distress (K6), impairments in work performance (WFun), and COVID-19–related experiences stigma discrimination two designated COVID-19 hospitals Hiroshima Prefecture, Japan, between August 2020 March 2021. The prevalence sequelae was calculated by age severity. Factors independently associated with or were identified...
Abstract More than 200 million COVID-19 survivors have lasting symptoms after recovering, but the duration and related risk factors remain uncertain. This study focused on all 6551 patients diagnosed with at a medical institution in Hiroshima from March 2020 to July 2022. In November 2022, questionnaire survey was conducted regarding post-COVID their duration. The prevalence of were illustrated using Kaplan–Meier method. Risk for over 3 months interfering daily life assessed via multivariate...
In countries with intermediate or high hepatitis B virus (HBV) endemicity, mother-to-child transmission (MTCT) represents the main route of chronic HBV infection. There is a paucity information on MTCT in Cambodia. This study aimed to investigate prevalence infection among pregnant women and its rate Siem Reap, Cambodia.This longitudinal included two parts, study-1 screen HBsAg study-2 follow up babies all HBsAg-positive one-fourth HBsAg-negative mothers at their delivery six-month...
Abstract Several factors related to anti-spike(S) IgG antibody titers after mRNA COVID-19 vaccination have been elucidated, but the magnitude of effects each factor has not fully understood. This cross-sectional study assessed anti-S and anti-nucleocapsid (N) on 3744 healthy volunteers (median age, 36 years; IQR, 24–49 females, 59.0%) who received two doses mRNA-1273 or BNT162b2 vaccine completed a survey questionnaire. Multiple regression was conducted identify associated with titers. All...
Fatty liver is the most common disease. This study examined fatty and advanced fibrosis prevalence in a random sample of Japanese general population.A total 6000 people randomly selected from two cities Hiroshima Prefecture were invited to participate this cross-sectional originally carried out for hepatitis virus screening. Ultrasonography FibroScan (controlled attenuation parameter [CAP] stiffness measurement [LSM]) provided as additional tests.Of individuals, 1043 participated screening,...
Abstract Perceived discrimination and work impairment are commonly observed in COVID-19 survivors, but their relationship has not been well understood. We aimed to evaluate the role of development psychological distress survivors. From April 2020 November 2021, 309 patients were recruited at two designated hospitals Japan. Participants completed a standardized questionnaire including sequelae, distress, impairments performance perceived discrimination. The majority participants (62.5%)...
Symptoms after novel coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) recovery by severe acute respiratory syndrome 2 strains are unspecified.
This longitudinal study aimed to determine chronological changes in the seroprevalence of prior SARS-CoV-2 infection, including asymptomatic infections Hiroshima Prefecture, Japan.A stratified random sample 7,500 residents from five cities Prefecture was selected participate a three-round survey late 2020 early 2021, before introduction COVID-19 vaccine. The anti-SARS-CoV-2 antibodies calculated if at least two four commercially available immunoassays were positive. Then, ratio between and...
BackgroundWith global aging, especially in Asia, preventing pneumonia among seniors is vital. The necessity of introducing pneumococcal vaccines the elderly has been highlighted but there a paucity community-based real-world evidence on their effect. Sera Town Hiroshima Prefecture, super-aged community, launched distinctive vaccination support project for residents and conducted 5-year follow-up survey. This study evaluates effectiveness this initiative.MethodsFrom October 2010 to March...
Commercially available assays for measuring severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) anti-spike (S) or anti-nucleocapsid (N) antibodies differ in units, making results comparisons challenging. This study aimed to develop conversion equations between five quantitative anti-S antibody tests and assess the agreement over time three qualitative anti-N tests. Blood samples from 24 216 vaccinated healthcare workers Hiroshima Prefecture, Japan, were analyzed using (Abbott,...
[Purpose] Patients with idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF) often develop remarkable exercise-induced hypoxemia and are hospitalized for management. The pre-discharge management of activities daily living (ADL) should determine the amount permitted during inform concrete instructions based on these results. This clinical report aimed to promote 24-hour ambulatory oximetry monitoring in a patient IPF guide ADL. [Participant Methods] Our was 67-year-old male IPF. He scheduled be discharged...
