Alpha to Omicron: Disease Severity and Clinical Outcomes of Major SARS-CoV-2 Variants, 2022.10.10,

Disease severity associated with Alpha, Gamma, and Delta variants is comparable while Omicron infections are significantly less severe. Breakthrough disease is significantly more common in patients with Omicron infection.

Beyond lockdowns: a systematic review of the impacts of COVID-19 lockdowns on dietary pattern, physical activity, body weight, and food security, 2022.10.17,
https://academic.oup.com/nutritionreviews/advance-article/doi/10.1093/nutrit/nuac088/6762057?searchresult=1 .
COVID-19 lockdowns were associated with significant changes in dietary and lifestyle behaviors of worldwide populations. Impacts were seen during and post-lockdown likely due to more time spent at home, working from home, decreased food availability and accessibility, and augmented stress associated with lockdown.

Impact of COVID-19 on the Italian Mental Health System: A Narrative Review, 2022.10.18,
https://academic.oup.com/schizbullopen/article/3/1/sgac038/6762541?searchresult=1 .
The upheaval caused by the pandemic has highlighted the need to reinforce, both at a local and national level, the organization and standards of care of the Italian MHS in order to protect and support the mental health of patients with severe mental disorders, health workers, and the general population, thus preventing a potential “pandemic” of mental disorders.

While cities will survive COVID-19, future pandemics could threaten our urban world. To avoid the nightmare scenario of permanent disease and social distancing, we must take the threat of future pandemic more seriously. A better solution would be a strong global alliance aimed at protecting against future pandemics.

Prediction of upcoming global infection burden of influenza seasons after relaxation of public health and social measures during the COVID-19 pandemic: a modelling study, 2022.11.01,
https://www.thelancet.com/journals/langlo/article/PIIS2214-109X(22)00358-8/fulltext .
For this modelling study, we used surveillance data on influenza virus activity for 11 different locations and countries in 2017–22. We implemented a data-driven mechanistic predictive modelling framework to predict future influenza seasons on the basis of pre-COVID-19 dynamics and the effect of PHSMs during the COVID-19 pandemic. We simulated the potential excess burden of upcoming influenza epidemics in terms of fold rise in peak magnitude and epidemic size compared with pre-COVID-19 levels.

Evaluating and mitigating the potential indirect effect of COVID-19 on control programmes for seven neglected tropical diseases: a modelling study, 2022.11.01,
https://www.thelancet.com/journals/langlo/article/PIIS2214-109X(22)00360-6/fulltext .
Effect of the COVID-19-induced interruption in terms of delay to achieving elimination goals might in some cases be much longer than the duration of the interruption. For schistosomiasis, onchocerciasis, trachoma, and visceral leishmaniasis, a mean delay of 2–3 years for a 1-year interruption is predicted in areas of highest prevalence. We also show that these delays can largely be mitigated by measures such as additional mass drug administration or enhanced case-finding.

Relative Risks of COVID-19–Associated Hospitalizations and Clinical Outcomes by Age and Race/Ethnicity—March 2020–March 2021, 2022.10.05,
https://academic.oup.com/ofid/article/9/10/ofac376/6748239 .
During the first year of the US COVID-19 pandemic in this cohort, older non-Hispanic Black and Hispanic adults had the highest relative risks of COVID-19–associated hospitalization and adverse outcomes and, among those with select underlying conditions, the highest occurrences of acute exacerbations of underlying conditions.

Years of life lost associated with COVID-19 deaths in the USA during the first 2 years of the pandemic, 2022.05.30,
https://academic.oup.com/jpubhealth/article/44/3/e353/6594721 .
We employed data regarding COVID-19 deaths through 5 February 2022 by jurisdiction, gender and age group, and used actuarial life expectancy tables by gender and age to estimate YLLs. Our findings improve our understanding of how the mortality effects of COVID-19 have evolved. This insight can be valuable to public health officials as the disease moves to an endemic phase.

Interplay between demographic, clinical and polygenic risk factors for severe COVID-19, 2022.06.30,
https://academic.oup.com/ije/article/51/5/1384/6622041 .
We aimed to identify clinical, socio-demographic and genetic risk factors for severe COVID-19 (hospitalization, critical care admission or death) in the general population. This study conducted in the pre-SARS-CoV-2-vaccination era, emphasizes the novel insights to be gained from using genetic data alongside commonly considered clinical and socio-demographic factors to develop greater biological understanding of severe COVID-19 outcomes.

Changes in mortality rate of the general population during the COVID-19 pandemic: an interrupted time series study in Korea, 2022.04.23,
https://academic.oup.com/ije/article/51/5/1396/6573377 .
The non-accidental mortality rate in South Korea for the first year of the pandemic followed the historical trends. However, there was a decrease in mortality associated with respiratory diseases, and an increase in mortality occurring outside of medical facilities. The findings may be attributed to changes in public behaviours, and availability of medical resources during the pandemic.
