Consumer wearable devices that continuously measure vital signs have been used to monitor the onset of infectious disease. Here, we show that data from consumer smartwatches can be used for the pre-symptomatic detection of coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID

Role of asymptomatic and pre-symptomatic infections in covid-19 pandemic Liming Li and colleagues highlight the importance of identifying people without symptoms to control outbreaks of covid-19 Asymptomatic and pre-symptomatic transmission seems to be one of the most important features of covid-19...
The researchers acknowledge that their results may not be more widely applicable. The findings were based on just a small sample of people, all of whom were relatively young—so less likely to have severe COVID-19symptoms—-from a single national center, and who weren't ethnically diverse. W...
We estimated that 32/80 (40%) of transmission events were likely to have occurred prior to symptoms onset in primary cases. Secondary cases in clusters had less severe illness on average than cluster primary cases. Conclusions The majority of transmissions are occurring around illness onset in an...

We found some evidence that pneumococcal carriage was associated with recent respiratory symptoms, the total number of physical contacts made, and with malnutrition in children under 5. Through linking with a nested contact survey we projected that pneumococcal exposure of children under 2 was ...
Thus, our data show that gastrointestinal symptoms pre-admission were associated with increased severity of COVID-19. These results are consistent with other recent studies,4,7,8 but mostly these had not considered other potential confounding factors. There have been some contradictory reports.9,10...
The current study and Ghassemi et al13 investigated SSRI use before tertiary care admission, whereas Reis et al23 investigated administration after the onset of symptoms consistent with COVID-19. Ultimately, the reason for the discrepancy is unknown, but the current study adds that the associated ...
Predictors of long-term COVID included older age, Western ethnicity, BMI, chronic disease, COVID-19 reinfections, severity, and symptoms, lower self-esteem, and higher positive affect (AUC = 0.79, 95%CI 0.73-0.86). Four clusters were identified: a low and a high symptom severity cluster,...
