Abstract Importance As SARS-CoV-2 pervades worldwide, considerable focus has been placed on the longer lasting health effects of virus human host and anticipated healthcare needs. Objective The primary aim this study is to examine prevalence post-acute sequelae COVID-19 (PASC), commonly known as long COVID, across world assess geographic heterogeneities through a systematic review meta-analysis. A second provide estimates for individual symptoms that have reported PASC, based existing...
Abstract India has seen a surge of SARS-CoV-2 infections and deaths in early part 2021, despite having controlled the epidemic during 2020. Building on two-strain, semi-mechanistic model that synthesizes mortality genomic data, we find evidence altered epidemiological properties B.1.617.2 (Delta) variant play an important role this resurgence India. Under all scenarios immune evasion, increased transmissibility advantage for B.1617.2 against previously circulating strains. Using extended SIR...
Importance Advancements in technology, including mobile-based ecological momentary assessments (EMAs) and passive sensing, have immense potential to identify short-term suicide risk. However, the extent which EMA data, particularly combination, utility detecting risk everyday life remains poorly understood. Objective To examine whether what combinations of self-reported sensor-based next-day suicidal ideation. Design, Setting, Participants In this intensive longitudinal prognostic study,...
India experienced a massive surge in SARS-CoV-2 infections and deaths during April to June 2021 despite having controlled the epidemic relatively well 2020. Using counterfactual predictions from epidemiological disease transmission models, we produce evidence support of how strengthening public health interventions early would have helped control country significantly reduced mortality second wave, even without harsh lockdowns. We argue that enhanced surveillance at district, state, national...
According to these studies, the IFR for India is roughly 0.1 % using observed death counts and 0.4% after incorporating underreporting of deaths (Table 2). [...]during wave 1, a group volunteers collected reported from obituaries in newspapers found count be almost twice that officially reported.13 Likewise, during this recent surge, New York Times article noted authorities Gujarat between 73 121 daily COVID-19-related midApril, contradicting leading newspaper cited number as several times...
The harrowing second wave of COVID-19 in India has led to much discussion over the quality and timeliness reporting deaths attributed pandemic. In this brief report, we aim present existing evidence, as well broader complexities surrounding mortality burden India. This article sheds light on following epidemiological issues: (1) general India-specific challenges death reporting, (2) latest estimates May 16, 2021, (3) apparent scale uncaptured deaths, (4) role disaggregated historic trends...
Introduction: Fervourous investigation and dialogue surrounding the true number of SARS-CoV-2-related deaths implied infection fatality rates in India have been ongoing throughout pandemic, especially pronounced during nation’s devastating second wave. We aim to synthesize existing literature on SARS-CoV-2 excess (IFR) through a systematic search followed by viable meta-analysis. then provide updated epidemiological model-based estimates wave 1, 2 combined IFRs using an extension...

We aim to synthesize existing literature on excess (IFR) India, through a systematic search followed by viable meta-analysis. then provide updated epidemiological model-based estimates wave 1, 2 combined IFRs using an extension...
Abstract This study examines the impact of pandemic-related worries on mental health in Indian general adult population from 2020 to 2022. Using data Global COVID-19 Trends and Impact Survey (N = 2,576,174 respondents aged ≥ 18 years India; an average weekly sample size around 25,000), it explores associations between worry variables (namely financial stress, food insecurity, COVID-19-related worries) self-reported symptoms depression nervousness. The statistical analysis was conducted using...
This study examines how pandemic-related worries affected mental health in India's adults from 2020 to 2022. Using data the Global COVID-19 Trends and Impact Survey (N = 2,576,174), it explores associations between worry variables (financial stress, food insecurity, COVID-19-related worries) self-reported symptoms of depression anxiety. Our analysis, based on complete cases 747,996), used survey-weighted models, adjusting for demographics calendar time. The finds significant these outcomes,...
There has been raging discussion and debate around the quality of COVID death data in South Asia. According to WHO, 5.5 million reported COVID-19 deaths from 2020-2021, 0.57 (10%) were contributed by five low middle income countries (LMIC) Global South: India, Pakistan, Bangladesh, Sri Lanka Nepal. However, a number excess estimates show that actual toll is significantly higher than deaths. For example, IHME WHO both project 14.9 total deaths, which 4.5–5.5 attributed these 2020-2021. We...
There has been much discussion and debate around underreporting of deaths in India media articles the scientific literature. In this brief report, we aim to meta-analyze available/inferred estimates infection fatality rates for SARS-CoV-2 based on existent These account uncaptured infections. We consider empirical excess death all-cause mortality data as well disease transmission-based that rely assumptions regarding transmission ascertainment India. Through an initial systematic review...
