(2) Temporary mobile FCs should be established as soon as possible in areas with scarce resources and high risk, reducing the difference in medical accessibility between different communities and shorting the travel time for patients. (3) In terms of setting up FCs, the basic medical resources ...
Meanwhile, the HKSAR government continues to conduct large-scale COVID-19 testing for staff of individual sectors under high-risk or high-exposure groups, in order to cut off transmission chains as quickly as possible and allow normal operation of the relevant industries. The free testing arrangeme...
We found the distribution of COVID-19 exposure risk level in daily activities almost the same was 26.0% of participants had very high risk, 27.4% were high risk, 22.9% were moderate risk, and 23.7% were low risk. Male had activity risk level significantly lower than female (p-value 0.001...
Fig. 2: Risk factors associated with long COVID from meta-analyses of LS findings alongside corresponding analyses from EHRs. The reference category for ‘Diabetes’, ‘Hypertension’, ‘High Cholesterol’, and ‘Asthma’ is the absence of condition. All associations were adjusted for age and sex...
alone or with azithromycin, did not improve clinical status at 15 days as compared with standard care [98]. Similarly, the use of hydroxychloroquine has not been beneficial in preventing the development of COVID-19 in patients after high-risk exposure [99]. The routine use of these drugs is...
Further, a long exposure at a distance can have a comparable risk as does a short exposure at a close distance. Also, subjects are complying with proper social distancing rules such as the WHO-recommendation of six-foot separation when possible and the wearing of face coverings. An additional...
However, most reports did not include a description of the study population or intended use of the models and were rated at high risk of bias at the same time. Early detection of patients who are likely to develop critical illness is of great importance and may help to deliver proper care...
Long-term exposure to NO2 causes many health problems and is linked to ahigher riskof all-cause, cardiovascular and respiratory-related death. Astudyconducted with healthcare data from 4,443 fatal cases of COVID-19 in 2020 found that long-term exposure to high levels of nitrogen dioxide corr...
Whereas the nature of the post-COVID condition following mild acute COVID-19 is increasingly well described in the literature, knowledge of its risk factors, and whether it can be predicted, remains limited. This study, conducted in Norway, uses individual-level register data from 214,667 SARS...
risk factors with a high level of precision. Another key strength of the study is the inclusion of a comparator group that did not have either suspected or confirmed SARS-CoV-2 infection and had been propensity score-matched for sociodemographic factors, previously reported symptoms and over 80 ...
