SARS-CoV-2 continues to circulate with new variants of uncertain transmissibility and virulence arising over time resulting in varying morbidity mortality between within countries. This study aimed identify the predictors among hospitalized COVID-19 patients across first five waves pandemic. We conducted a retrospective cohort at Tigoni Level 4 Hospital Kenya. The included admitted June 2020 August 2022 who tested positive for SARS-CoV-2. Sociodemographic clinical data were abstracted from...
The study of infectious disease outbreaks is required to train today's epidemiologists. A typical way introduce and explain key epidemiological concepts through the analysis a historical outbreak. There are, however, few training options that explicitly utilise real-time simulated stochastic where participants themselves comprise dataset they subsequently analyse. In this paper, we present teaching exercise in which an outbreak over five-day period analysed. We iteratively developed offer...
The public health impact of the coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic has motivated a rapid search for potential therapeutics, with some key successes. However, different treatments, and consequently research procurement priorities, have not been clear.Using mathematical model severe acute respiratory syndrome 2 (SARS-CoV-2) transmission, COVID-19 clinical care, we explore public-health under range scenarios varying healthcare capacity, epidemic trajectories; drug efficacy in absence...
Abstract Background The unprecedented public health impact of the COVID-19 pandemic has motivated a rapid search for potential therapeutics, with some key successes. However, different treatments, and consequently research procurement priorities, have not been clear. Methods Findings We develop mathematical model SARS-CoV-2 transmission, disease clinical care to explore public-health range under scenarios varying: i) healthcare capacity, ii) epidemic trajectories; iii) drug efficacy in...
