BackgroundAssessing the burden of COVID-19 on basis medically attended case numbers is suboptimal given its reliance testing strategy, changing definitions, and disease presentation. Population-based serosurveys measuring anti-severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (anti-SARS-CoV-2) antibodies provide one method for estimating infection rates monitoring progression epidemic. Here, we estimate weekly seroprevalence anti-SARS-CoV-2 in population Geneva, Switzerland, during...
Abstract Understanding the risk of infection from household- and community-exposures transmissibility asymptomatic infections is critical to SARS-CoV-2 control. Limited previous evidence based primarily on virologic testing, which disproportionately misses mild infections. Serologic measures are more likely capture all previously infected individuals. We apply household transmission models data a cross-sectional, household-based population serosurvey 4,534 people ≥5 years 2,267 households...
Abstract Background Assessing the burden of COVID-19 based on medically-attended case counts is suboptimal given its reliance testing strategy, changing definitions and wide spectrum disease presentation. Population-based serosurveys provide one avenue for estimating infection rates monitoring progression epidemic, overcoming many these limitations. Methods Taking advantage a pool adult participants from population-representative surveys conducted in Geneva, Switzerland, we implemented study...
Abstract Background Serological assays detecting anti-severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) antibodies are being widely deployed in studies and clinical practice. However, the duration effectiveness of protection conferred by immune response remains to be assessed population-based samples. To estimate incidence newly acquired SARS-CoV-2 infections seropositive individuals as compared seronegative controls, we conducted a retrospective longitudinal matched study....
The present commentary discusses how social media big data could be used in mental health research to assess the impact of major global crises such as COVID-19 pandemic. We first provide a brief overview situation and challenges associated with assessment its on using conventional methods. then propose possible unconventional source, illustrative examples previous studies, discuss advantages their use for research. conclude that represent valuable resource research, however, several...
Forgoing healthcare for economic reasons has been previously associated with adverse health outcomes, including a higher risk of hospitalization, lower quality life, and worse self-reported health. However, the exact cause-to-effect relation between forgoing health-related outcomes insufficiently described. Here, we investigate prospective consequences using data from "ReBus" (N = 400), study examining (Baseline: 2008-2013, Follow-up: 2014-2016). Using regression models, explored baseline...
Objectives: This study assesses the opinions of health professionals in Malaysia on disruption non-communicable disease (NCD) services during COVID-19 pandemic from March 2020 to January 2022. Methods: We conducted a cross-sectional online survey with 191 non-clinical public workers and clinical service November 2021 Participants were recruited by Malaysian Ministry Health using major networks including key experts practitioners. Secondary respondents subsequently enrolled through...
over one third of total Disability-Adjusted-Life-Years lost in Kenya are due to non-communicable diseases (NCD). In response, the Government declared significant commitment towards improving NCD care. The COVID-19 pandemic increased burden on already overstretched health systems Kenya. aims this study assess whether care providers perceived be optimal during and explore how improve responses future emergencies.this cross-sectional online survey included healthcare personnel with non-clinical...
