Results from LimitationRecognizer: We detected the following sentences addressing limitations in the study:

A potential limitation of the study was that the study areas were selected based on existing connections and infrastructure, and the adolescents in each area were not selected probabilistically. Therefore, the results from this study are not expected to be representative of all adolescents in the country. Nevertheless, we increased the representativeness of the study population by including countries and areas geographically spread across sub-Saharan Africa. Therefore, the results provide important insights into the levels of determinants of COVID-19 vaccine hesitancy in sub-Saharan Africa. Another limitation is that, due to the nature of phone-based interviews, the adolescents included in most areas were those who resided in households with access to a mobile phone. Consequently, the sample might underrepresent adolescents from under-resourced households, which may affect generalizability. The presence of unreachable phone numbers and failures to pick up phone calls may also have impacts on the generalizability of the findings. In conclusion, we show that COVID-19 vaccine hesitancy among adolescents is high across the five sub-Saharan African countries, especially in Tanzania. COVID-19 vaccination campaigns among sub-Saharan African adolescents must address adolescents’ concerns and misconceptions about COVID-19 vaccines, especially regarding vaccination safety and effectiveness. It is unfortunate that, at the time of this survey, a considerable proportion of adolescents in ...

Limitations: The current trial has some important limitations. Long COVID is a novel disease with unknown mechanisms. The prevalence is continuously being revised and it is not known how symptoms and best practice treatment will evolve over time. The treatment protocol in this trial is novel and thus considered a limitation. Normally, HBOT is administered five days a week, with 30–40 sessions over six to eight weeks. The protocol in this trial is based on experience from severe COVID-19 where five treatments seem to be sufficient. However, more research on the dose is needed. Further limitations lie in the possible selection bias of patients being referred through the same outpatient clinic; most patients are severely debilitated (a prerequisite for referral was at least 50% sick-leave) and due to long waiting times, most patients have been ill for more than one year. The power calculation for the primary endpoint is extrapolated from studies of similar design and diseases with similar symptoms but have not been based on a pilot trial and thus is considered as an increased risk of type II error. However, interim analyses will be performed when 20 patients have data available for safety endpoints, and when 40 patients have available for primary endpoint to minimize the risk of an underpowered trial. Furthermore, ‘sham treatment’ may have up to 58% efficacy35. We did not take this into account when we performed our power calculation, which could result in the trial being underp...

Results from LimitationRecognizer: We detected the following sentences addressing limitations in the study:

We overcome these limitations by employing mammalian surface-display to directly probe antibody recognition of the full-length antigen and using a mutational library to generate binding measurements for all possible antigen mutations. It is important to note that our approach does not directly determine an antibody’s epitope – the area of physical contact between antibody and antigen. Most escape mutations will be at the binding interface and reduce affinity through direct mechanisms, especially in the case of linear epitopes. Some mutations, however, will reduce binding indirectly through allostery. This is especially important for antibodies recognizing three-dimensional epitopes since mutations far away from the binding site may reduce the stability of the protein or affect local structure at the epitope allosterically. Thus, while escape mutations mapped onto the structure of the antigen identify localized surface patches, they represent a combination of the epitope and additional sites that are important for maintaining the conformational integrity and accessibility of the epitope. This approach thus goes beyond the notion of an epitope and, instead provides a mutational profile reminiscent of a fingerprint of the antibody on the antigen. These fingerprints are highly valuable in the evaluation of antibodies and other detection reagents such as nanobodies or DNA aptamers used in a diagnostic test regarding their ability to detect variants of a rapidly mutating viral anti...

Trial registries, including ClinicalTrials.gov, WHO ICTRP, and ISRCTN, will be searched. In addition, “COVID-19 vaccine tracker and landscape” of WHO, “Cochrane vaccine mapping tool”, and the reference list of included primary will be searched. Also, the publication bias of primary studies will be evaluated. Eventually, we expect that our study notably advances the knowledge about the safety and efficacy of various COVID-19 vaccine platforms.

This study has some limitations. Testing was conducted on a low number of participants, and almost all the participants were SARS-CoV-2 positive, thus the study was not suitable for evaluating the specificity of the prototype. Furthermore, the usability of the prototype was not assessed. Thus, further testing is needed to determine the test-accuracy of 3D-printed swabs. One strength of the study is that we repeated testing with both swab types shortly after exposure and later in the course of infection; this enabled us to evaluate the performance of the prototype on samples with different viral loads. Because our study population consisted of a defined group with known exposure to SARS-CoV-2, we were able to include both symptomatic and asymptomatic individuals. Finally, sample collection techniques can affect the clinical sensitivity of the test. In our study, experienced personnel performed sampling, which reduced the risk of false negative results. To prevent swab shortages during future pandemics, or seasonal epidemics, caused by influenza or other viruses, 3D printing of swabs might help to maintain rapid, large scale diagnostic testing.

As mentioned in Section 2.2.1, due to the limitation of scipy.integrate.odeint solver of not accepting a time-varying variable, an average trajectory is achieved. Figure 7 shows the actual daily cases against the predicted daily cases. It is noticeable how the trajectory produced by the ASQ-SEIR-NLIR model passes through the average of the actual data. This observation is valid for both country-level and citylevel. 3.3 Dynamics of COVID-19 Spread: The optimal parameters obtained from the genetic algorithm help describe the dynamics of the spread of COVID-19 at the country-level and at city-level. 3.3.1 Transition from Susceptible to Exposed: The parameters involved in this transition are the transmission or contact rate (β) and quarantine factor (Q), together with the nonlinear incidence rates behavioral factor (α) and disease-resistance factor (ϵ). Both regions of interest show relatively low compliance to minimum health standards yet relatively high disease-resistance rates, which may be attributed to increase vaccination efforts. This implies that there is high level of immunity but the high exposure rate is due to low compliance to minimum health standards. Both regions also differ in terms of contact rate but same quarantine factors. Quezon City has an average βQC = 3.12, which means higher probability of getting exposed to the virus, versus the βPH = 2 average for the whole country. However, the quarantine success spells the difference in terms of the total expected exp...

Our study has some limitations. Unvaccinated individuals in our analysis were mostly enrolled prior to the emergence and global spread of the Delta lineage, whereas fully vaccinated individuals were almost exclusively enrolled once Delta was the dominant circulating lineage. Thus, we were unable to control for this as a potential confounder. However, previous studies have indicated that infections with Delta lineage viruses have higher peak viral loads30,39 and longer duration of shedding than pre-Delta lineages40,41. This suggests that we may have underestimated differences between vaccination groups, bringing our results from early infection in line with those from Puhach et al. In addition, index cases were from the list of SARS-CoV-2 positive cases at UCSF-affiliated medical centers in San Francisco and may not be representative of all SARS-CoV-2 infections occurring in the same jurisdiction. Furthermore, we were underpowered to analyze shedding dynamics during the pre-symptomatic and early symptomatic period and thus we may have missed the peak viral RNA load in some individuals and thus underestimated maximum values (Supp. Figure 1). Lastly, our study was likely underpowered to detect differences in overall infectious virus shedding duration between groups, though our comparison when restricted to participants with infectious virus (Table 2) is in line with the regression analysis in Figure 3. In summary, in addition to the protective effect of COVID-19 vaccines against...

A number of limitations are worth noting. First, participants’ preferences may partly be driven by cross-country variation in (1) COVID-19 infection and mortality rates, (2) COVID-19 vaccination rates, and (3) the pandemic trajectory over time. Our analyses did not allow for any in-depth investigation of these factors. Second, on an individual level, there may be additional characteristics that explain approval or rejection of COVID-19 vaccine donations but were not captured in the survey, including (1) nationalistic attitudes, (2) altruistic preferences or (3) migration background. Third, our analysis points to a number of predictors of variation. However, they are not susceptible to experimental manipulation and should therefore not be interpreted as causal. Fourth, at the country level (except in Germany), we were not able to achieve our initial target sample sizes due to budget constraints. Thus, we likely only have adequate statistical power in the pooled analysis. Lastly and relatedly, sample sizes varied across countries and statistical power was higher in the German survey than in the other five surveys. However, since we find statistically significant effects of the main attributes in all countries except from Poland, lack of statistical power might have been less of a concern. Policymakers and global health scholars have condemned the unequitable distribution of COVID-19 vaccines between high- and low-income countries as “vaccine apartheid”.(Gonsalves and Yamey, 202...

Strengths and weaknesses: The event acted as a natural experiment whereby one group of individuals by chance experienced delayed contact tracing, enabling a comparison of their outcomes with concurrent, unaffected cases and contacts to assess the impact of contact tracing more generally. Having a a single national system collating all test results and a single national contact tracing system facilitated the study. Through record linkage we could identify successive generations of contacts and cases and describe key health outcomes associated with the delay in contact tracing; however, some of these outcomes were rare and it is possible that we did not have the power to detect a small difference in hospitalisation or mortality. Secondary transmission could only be estimated using the contacts reported by cases who met the contact definition11. These would not include unknown contacts; however, the similarity in the number of reported contacts between the two groups suggests that unknown contacts are also likely to be similar. Contact tracing was not completed for a minority of cases in the delay and control groups, so there are likely to be further transmission events that are unknown and not described. People who do not engage in contact tracing differ from those who do in terms of ethnicity and socioeconomic status; however, this is unlikely to differ between the two groups12,13,14. Completion of contact tracing was slightly lower in the delay group. This could have potentia...

There are some limitations to this study. First, there is still a large proportion of genomes that failed sequencing. The reason for this is not always clear, however, successful sequencing is highly dependent on viral RNA load, and thus the failed sequences may be due to lower viral load. However, there is not sufficient evidence to determine the rate at which the failed sequences in the post 90-day positives may be due to reinfections with low viral load or a low-level persistence. It has been shown that residual slowly wanes over approximately a year after an infection [19], which is about the time that sequence proven reinfections spiked after the initial infection. Second, the vast majority of reinfections happened over a small period of time with the Omicron variant. It is clear that the circulating variants have a large impact on the likelihood of reinfection. The Omicron variant is immunologically distinct from prior variants that resulted in incomplete cross protection to Omicron [5]. Thus, as we surveil for reinfections, the likelihood at any given time will likely be dependent on similarity of circulating variants to prior variants. Similarly, although persistence of the initial genome is rare in the post 90-day positives currently, future variants may show a different propensity towards persistence.

Results from LimitationRecognizer: We detected the following sentences addressing limitations in the study:

This study has a limitation. It should be considered that serious adverse effects have been reported in a very low frequency and the small size of the analyzed sample might have influenced this aspect. In conclusion, both analyzed vaccine schemes were immunogenic and showed a high seroconversion rate. In addition, a significant correlation was found between higher anti-S-RBD IgG titers and a confirmed prior infection with SARS-CoV-2 for both schemes. Moreover, the heterologous scheme was also associated with a better humoral response. Finally, local and systemic adverse effects were scarce and mostly mild, demonstrating that both schemes are safe and well-tolerated. These findings should promote patients on dialysis to receive these immunization schemes.

Limitations: There is no study outside constraints, and this study has some limitations as well. Firstly, the study was cross-sectional in its nature, therefore, the causality of factors could not be established. In this regard, a longitudinal study is required to better understand the practice of self-medication among COVID-19 recovered patients. Secondly, the study employed an online-based self-reporting method, which could have been influenced by a variety of biases, including perceived benefits and episodic memory biases. Thirdly, due to the inflexibility of reaching out to persons who had recovered from COVID-19 and their refusal to engage in this study freely, the study enrolled only a few participants.

This study has some limitations. First, the samples were collected at one site in Japan, and most samples were collected soon after symptom onset. The sample size for asymptomatic individuals might have been insufficient. Second, the assessment of lateral flow device results can vary among examiners [27]. Third, the reference RT-PCR examinations were performed with frozen samples, and the storage and transportation processes may have affected the test results. In addition, study samples were collected from the nasopharyngeal tract, and anterior nasal samples were not analyzed. In conclusion, the current study showed that the QuickNavi-COVID19 Ag test had a high diagnostic performance for the detection of SARS-CoV-2 Omicron sublineages BA.1 and BA.2 in nasopharyngeal samples.

Results from LimitationRecognizer: We detected the following sentences addressing limitations in the study:

Limitations: Limitations of this study include that information on viral load and symptoms, variables that may predict severe COVID-19,49-51 are not captured in claims data. Moreover, a reason that at least some EUA-eligible patients were untreated may be that they had less severe disease, although social and cultural factors have also been reported to play a role in the decision for treatment with mAbs.52 If untreated patients had less severe disease than treated patients, the residual confounding would likely bias results against CAS+IMD. Another limitation is that several important variables such as BMI and COVID-19 vaccination status are not well captured in claims data; when this study was conducted, approximately 70% of the population had received 1 dose and 60% had received 2 doses. Residual confounding is likely, and if unvaccinated patients with higher BMIs are likely to have worse disease requiring treatment, it could result in underestimation of the effectiveness of CAS+IMD. We were also not able to distinguish between the subcutaneous and intravenous administration of CAS+IMD. Finally, the study period did not overlap with emergence of the Omicron variant, although CAS+IMD is not expected to be active against Omicron,53 as in vitro data indicate CAS+IMD has markedly reduced neutralization activity against this variant.54,55

We admit that our research might have some potential limitations: (1) the imbalance of the demographics of Twitter users in Japan [49] may cause bias in the results; (2) status of the user on a certain day (at home or not, other events on that day, etc.) may also bias the dataset [50]; (3) due to the lack of a reliable public model for sentiment analysis in the Japanese language, the cloud service AWS was used for sentiment analysis; (4) filtering keywords may include irrelevant or missing related tweets; (5) anti-vaccine tweets, especially rumors, were not distinguished or analyzed separately in this study. However, feature works can be combined with classical surveys to train the sentiment analysis model and model to distinguish rumors from tweets to overcome these limitations. This retrospective study aimed to determine the reasons for the fast vaccination process in Japan, which might be instructive for propelling worldwide vaccination towards infectious diseases. In conclusion, our work indicated that awareness of the danger of COVID-19 increased the willingness to be vaccinated; with a sufficient supply of vaccines, effective reservation information delivery might provide more opportunities for people to be vaccinated. Models measuring vaccine hesitancy might also need to add efficiency in delivering reservation information as a metric. Based on our findings, we recommend public health policymakers and the government to share fair and prompt information about the infect...

Others have attributed exercise limitations to ventilatory inefficiency from pulmonary vasculopathy,18 respiratory abnormalities,19 obesity and differences in cardiorespiratory fitness29 and deconditioning.20, 21 Impaired oxygen extraction at the peripheral level (assessed using invasive CPET) has also been suggested to explain reduced exercise capacity among those with PASC at 11 months after infection by Singh et al.31 However, they describe stopping CPETs once RER was greater than 1.10 or heart rate was >85% predicted, which is below maximal exercise for most individuals and does not allow evaluation of chronotropic incompetence. They hypothesize that autonomic regulation of microcirculatory function may be one mechanism by which SARS-CoV-2 may alter oxygen extraction during exercise.32 Others have hypothesized that IL-6 (which may be elevated in PASC)33 functions as a myokine that regulates energy allocation during exercise.34 We did not find differences in the VO2 work slope, a noninvasive correlate of peripheral oxygen extraction, but we did not measure peripheral oxygen extraction since we did not perform invasive CPET. Mancini et al and others have found that dysfunctional (rapid, erratic) breathing or exercise hyperventilation may contribute to symptoms of persistent dyspnea in PASC.35–37 In contrast, we did not observe dysfunctional breathing in any participant. Although not a universal finding, several other groups have also reported chronotropic incompetence in PA...

Results from LimitationRecognizer: We detected the following sentences addressing limitations in the study:

The results of this study should be interpreted in light of several limitations. First, there remains the potential for residual confounding by unmeasured variables. Second, identifying the primary outcome of medically-attended COVID-19 identified via the ICD-10 U-code for COVID-19 diagnosis in the inpatient or outpatient setting has not been previously validated specifically within the HealthVerity database. However, a recent study in the US Veterans Affairs database estimated the positive predictive value (PPV) of the ICD-10 code U07.1 in all settings (inpatient, outpatient, and emergency department/urgent care) to be 84.2% [36], which supports the robustness of this outcome and also cautiously noting the high PPV dependency associated with high disease prevalence within a pandemic setting. Furthermore, the analysis of an alternative definition of medically-attended COVID-19 requiring the presence of an antigen or polymerase chain reaction test produced an effect estimate slightly further from the null, thereby confirming the hypothesis that misclassification of the primary outcome would be non-differential between vaccine groups, with the resulting bias to be towards the null [37]. The difference in the HR between the base-case U code definition and the alternative definition requiring testing (0.05) is in line with our bias analysis based on the PPV estimate (see supplementary text and Figure S1). Additionally, in a real-world study of Ad26.COV2.S using the HealthVerity d...

Results from LimitationRecognizer: We detected the following sentences addressing limitations in the study:

This study has some limitations. First, the small sample size and high vaccination rate limit concrete conclusions to be drawn from analyses of the clinical outcomes, such as COVID-19 symptoms including respiratory symptoms and disease exacerbation. Second, most of the enrolled patients were infected with the SARS-CoV-2 Delta variant. Our in vitro study results suggested that ensitrelvir has antiviral activity against the Omicron variant, which is the most predominant SARS-CoV-2 variant at the time of publication (12). Thus, the clinical efficacy of ensitrelvir against the Omicron variant or future variants of concern needs to be assessed in the subsequent part of this study. In addition, statistical analyses in subgroups, such as minor patients and asymptomatic patients, were not feasible owing to the limited number of patients. Further assessment of the safety and clinical efficacy of ensitrelvir in subsequent clinical studies is warranted. In conclusion, treatment with 5-day oral administration of ensitrelvir demonstrated a rapid clearance of SARS-CoV-2 and was well tolerated in patients with mild-to-moderate COVID-19 or asymptomatic SARS-CoV-2 infection. The results support further clinical development of ensitrelvir through large-scale clinical studies for the treatment of mild-to-moderate COVID-19 or asymptomatic SARS-CoV-2 infection.

Results from LimitationRecognizer: We detected the following sentences addressing limitations in the study:

Our findings are based on a study design with several limitations. (1) Samples in each ARDS group were collected years apart, which may cause variation in the molecular profiles due to differences in sample collection protocols and duration of storage. (2) The number of samples in each ARDS group is limited and imbalanced, with 43 COVID-19 samples and 24 bacterial sepsis samples, which reduces statistical power. (3) Our findings are based on molecules measured in plasma; thus, the measurements may not be representative of the site of ARDS, i.e., the lungs. (4) Our results are based on statistical associations, and further experiments are needed for validation as well as mechanistic and causal insights. In summary, we presented a first report on the molecular comparison between two ARDS etiologies – COVID-19 and bacterial sepsis. Our study is a step toward solving two pertinent clinical challenges associated with ARDS: the identification of novel therapeutic options, and the delineation of heterogeneous pathophysiological manifestations within the ARDS [38]. Even though for COVID-19 ARDS, a few partially effective immunotherapeutic options have been identified in anti-IL-6 therapy and JAK inhibitors, treatment remains a challenge for bacterial sepsis-induced ARDS. Using an inter-ARDS comparison, we highlighted therapeutically relevant signaling and metabolic pathways for ARDS of different etiologies. Using an intra-ARDS analysis, we identified molecular signatures characterizi...

Results from LimitationRecognizer: We detected the following sentences addressing limitations in the study:

Although the CEPHR COVID19 Serology Assay has many advantages, it is not without limitations. The assay employs RBD derived from the Wuhan-Hu-1 reference strain of SARS-CoV-2. Although the test has been validated in convalescent plasma from individuals with confirmed SARS-CoV-2, these individuals were infected with the variants circulating in the first wave of infections in early 2020 and the performance of this assay against the different SARS-CoV-2 variants of concern (VOCs) that have emerged since is still under investigation. In addition, the vaccinated population was relatively small, with the majority of individuals less than 3 months from second dose vaccine. Given waning of post vaccine protection22, sensitivity of the assay may alter as time post vaccination increases. Additionally binding assays do not evaluate antibody function, such as neutralising capacity or antibody effector function, although these gold standard assays are time consuming and expensive and do not lend themselves to high throughput. However, correlation of the CEPHR COVID19 Serology Assay with these gold standard functional assays is ongoing. Despite these limitations, the CEPHR SARS-CoV-2 Serology Assay is a robust, customisable, multiplex serologic assay for the detection of several different IgG specific to SARS-CoV-2, with multiple potential real world applications and performance characteristics that support its further development for use in both research and clinical settings.

Results from LimitationRecognizer: We detected the following sentences addressing limitations in the study:

A limitation of our study is that only linear epitopes were included in the design. Conformational epitopes could be included in further optimization and future designs for improved response. Here, we conceptually demonstrated the applicability of these epitope-scaffolds in detecting epitope-specific antibodies from serological samples. ED2-based ELISA was used to detect IgG antibodies in serum samples from RT-PCR confirmed COVID-19 patients and pre-pandemic samples. Most COVID-19 patients showed strong reactivity against ED2. All pre-pandemic serum samples remained unreactive. Some samples in the COVID-19 group showed low OD readouts similar to healthy samples, suggesting a lack of or a weak seroconversion64,68,69. Next steps may involve testing cross reactivity with patient samples of other coronaviruses. When available, studies may also include the COVID-19 positive samples with known times from symptom onset for better analysis of seroconversion. Nonetheless, our results confirm the usefulness of these epitope-scaffolds for ELISA. We also show the extension of the conventional detection assays to a user-friendly, magnetic nanoparticle-based ELISA approach suitable for a rapid detection of epitope specific antibodies by coupling epitope-scaffolds to magnetic beads. Examples are shown to highlight the utility of epitope-scaffolds; assay optimization may be required before adopting it to specific needs. The magnetic nanoparticle-based ELISA assays are simple to perform and v...

Various limitations of this trial should be noted. The basic reason for dropout was that the subjects were unable or unwilling to continue the clinical trial and voluntarily requested to withdraw The study included only COVID-19 patients of Pakistani race, and may limit the geographic generalizability of the findings. This study also excluded patients with severe underlying medical conditions, who are at particularly heightened risk of COVID-19 disease progression. Future studies of JHQG in COVID-19 shall focus on evaluating the clinical efficacy and safety of this TCM in such group of patients. In conclusion, our data show that JHQG is a safe and effective treatment for COVID-19 patients with mild symptoms.

Caveats: The present study could not be experimental, and so it lacks the possibility of strong causal inference. Observational studies leave open the possibility of unexamined causal variables. Our study did, however, use reliable data sources encompassing all the states and DC for 300 days, omitting only US territories because predictor data for them were not available. The causality of political climate as a significant factor in COVID-19 spread is plausible for several reasons. First, it is parsimonious, theoretically-grounded, and consistent with a number of studies that used smaller polities (e.g., counties), or were shorter-term, or smaller-scale [32, 42, 45]. Second, the present study found evidence for two plausible mediators of the influence of Republican-trusting political climate on COVID-19 cases and deaths: limited access to health care (assessed in multiple ways) and low public cooperation with COVID-19 prevention behaviors. Although the polity unit of analysis used was somewhat appropriate because state governors often did set COVID-19 policies, it is also somewhat crude both for assessing climate and policies. Stronger results might have obtained with a finer-grained unit of locale for assessing political climate, but the consistency of the present results with studies using a variety of other methods, from anonymous cell phone searches [33, 34] to opinion polls [26, 48] to medical records [42, 45], lends credibility to the findings. The reliably weaker relat...

Results from LimitationRecognizer: We detected the following sentences addressing limitations in the study:

By cataloguing available data on sarbecovirus host range, we show that while a variety of ACE2-based approaches produce relatively sensitive and specific predictions, these predictions largely derive from strong correlations with host phylogeny, and limitations and biases in their input data limit their actionability. Models based on host phylogeny alone perform equivalently, enabling scalable prediction across nearly all mammals, but imply that in the absence of additional metrics of inter-species exposures, vast numbers of species would need to be surveyed with limited geographic or taxonomic focus. ACE2 sequences showed surprising accuracy for predicting sarbecovirus host range, both in the formally-trained models produced here and in earlier heuristics. However, various lines of evidence suggest the predictive power of ACE2-based models derives primarily from phylogenetic correlation. First, susceptibility to sarbecovirus infection was highly conserved, clustering in patterns consistent with the evolutionary history of potential host species. Second, ACE2 is also evolutionarily conserved, and a phylogeny derived from ACE2 sequences was highly congruent with one reflecting broader evolutionary history. Third, commonly-used approaches for representing ACE2 sequence differences are largely equivalent in the amount of susceptibility information carried (Figure 2 & Supplementary figure S4), despite measuring very different aspects of ACE2 sequence variation and its interaction...

Results from LimitationRecognizer: We detected the following sentences addressing limitations in the study:

This study has some limitations which should be noted. First, the sample includes the population of only one state. Therefore, findings are generalizable only within Arkansas. Even so, given similarities with the populations of other Southern states, our findings are likely more broadly indicative of COVID-19 vaccine acceptance in the South. Although non-response rates were reduced and survey results were weighted, response bias can still impact interpretations due to response patterns. Additionally, the survey was conducted just before the FDA approved the two mRNA vaccines currently available in the U.S. While the media were reporting the imminent emergency approval of the vaccines while the survey was ongoing, we were unable to assess the acceptance after formal approval of the vaccines.

Results from LimitationRecognizer: We detected the following sentences addressing limitations in the study:

While our framework can enhance understanding and quantification of surveillance noise, it has several limitations. First, it depends on renewal model descriptions of epidemics [26]. These models assume homogeneous mixing and that the generation time distribution of the disease is known. While the inclusion of more realistic network-based mixing may not improve transmissibility estimates [53] (and this extra complexity may occlude insights), the generation time assumption is a true constraint that may only be ameliorated through the provision of updated, high quality line-list data [54]. Further, our analysis is contingent on having knowledge of the delays, under-ascertainment rates and other noise sources within data. These may be unavailable or themselves highly unreliable. To include this additional uncertainty is an important next step for this work, which will likely involve recomputing our metrics using posterior Fisher information terms [34, 55] that allow prior distributions on the noise parameters. We also assumed that the time scale chosen ensures that Rt parameters are independent. This may be invalid. In such instances we can append non-diagonal terms to Fisher information matrices or use our metric as an upper bound. Last, we defined the reliability or informativeness of a data stream in terms of minimising the joint uncertainty of the entire sequence of reproduction numbers . This is known as a D-optimal design [38]. However, we may instead want to minimise the ...

Results from LimitationRecognizer: We detected the following sentences addressing limitations in the study:

Our proposed FHIR-based representation of guideline recommendations has three main limitations: First, it is based on EBMonFHIR resources, which are mostly at a low maturity level and subject to frequent, even breaking, changes. The implementation guide therefore needs to be constantly kept in synchronization with current developments of EBMonFHIR resources. However, this is ensured by our active collaboration and participation in the development of the EBMonFHIR resources. Second, there is currently no execution engine available for our representation format that would allow to automatically integrate the recommended interventions with clinical data to provide clinical decision support. However, a prototype implementation for such an execution engine to be used with clinical data in the OMOP common data model (CDM) format is currently being developed. Additionally, translators may be implemented that translate the FHIR-based representation to other guideline recommendation formalisms that already have an execution engine implemented (e.g. the GLIF3 execution engine or the SAGE execution engine for EON [35,36]). Third, not all information for guideline recommendation execution can be expressed in current FHIR resources: The dependence and relationship between recommendations from the same or different guidelines cannot be modeled in the PlanDefinition resource without the introduction of extensions. We expect that in the maturation process of resources from the Clinical Decis...

Limitations and strengths: This was a prospective single-center study of real clinical practice carried out in elderly Caucasian patients with SARS-CoV-2 infection from the northwest region of Spain (Galicia) who exhibited similar features than elderly people from the western European countries. Our results should be interpreted with caution when applying them to other population, race or ethnicity. The sample was not the total population of patients admitted for SARS-CoV-2 in the unit, so the results could be susceptible to a certain sampling error. Although patients were evaluated prospectively, baseline clinical and laboratory data were collected at one point during admission, so some changes in these variables may be relevant and provide more information. Assessing comparability between groups on some variables was complicated because of a low frequency of events of interest in some categories, which could make some results less accurate. Regarding the results, we found that younger patients with lower body weight had higher mortality, although it is known that they were patients with a higher degree of cognitive impairment who were probably in a poorer nutritional status. On the other hand, current or former smokers presented a higher number of non-fatal events in some comparison groups. However, in most cases the smoking abuse was stopped more than 10-15 years ago, so a strong implication of that differences on the results would be unlikely. In another vein, the frequen...

The limitations of this study include: the sample size is small due to the phase 1 uncontrolled dose-finding design. The exploratory comparative immunogenicity analyses with convalescent sera or Pfizer/BNT vaccinees’ sera are not direct head-to-head comparisons and can contain bias. Convalescent sera were collected during the rise of the Delta variant outbreak, and possibly antibody responses are stronger against Delta than WT. To minimize bias, the convalescent and Pfizer/BNT vaccinees’ serum samples were tested at the same laboratories together with the ChulaCov19 vaccinated samples. In addition, a RCT phase 2 study has commenced and a larger scale immune-bridging, non-inferiority phase 3 study is planned. In summary, ChulaCov19 mRNA vaccine is well tolerated and elicited strong SARS-CoV2 specific B- and T-cell immunogenicity and is currently under Phase 2 and later clinical development.

However, a critical limitation of the Markov chain model is the antibody waning effects does not follow simple mathematical function. As shown in Figure 1B, the declination of protection effects brought by antibodies cannot be represented as simple mathematic equation. Therefore, we developed an antibody dynamic theory and attempted to integrate the antibody information into the prediction of population morbidity. Our antibody dynamics model can well explain the protection cycle of vaccines or primary infection, it can also be used to predict the protection duration of natural infection or vaccination [20]. The application of ordinary differential equations is much more accurate and physically reliable compared to the usage of simple math functions. This model is a deterministic model which could generate a fixed morbidity landscape given specific population contact matrix and the antibody dynamic parameters for each individual within certain group. The antibody concentration together with the virus loading amount within host body can more explicitly and accurately reflect the probability of infection and the number of viruses released to the environment at different time points, which provides a significant improvement toward our previous Markov chain model. Meanwhile, this deterministic agent-based model inherits the benefits of Markov-chain model. Each individual is affected by the state of its surrounding agents by the application of contact matrix. He can spread the viru...

This study is not without limitations. Only 26% of those aged 35-64 with a full interview in 2018-19 were included in our analytic sample, meaning that our analyses are unlikely to be representative despite the use of the survey weights provided by the UKHLS team. The focus on middle-aged adults precludes generalisations to other age groups, particularly younger adults who are still in the process of initiating smoking9,10 and have faced the brunt of the economic consequences of the pandemic.11 Results from the English Smoking Toolkit Study, which recorded a potential increase in smoking prevalence among those aged 16-24 between 2019 and 2021, support the call for better evidence in young adults.12 The findings here may also not align with the reality of other countries in keeping with the intensity of the impact of the pandemic and the government’s response.13 Despite these concerns, the findings represent encouraging results. Since disasters and recessions affect individuals over a long period of time, studies will be needed to understand the long-term effects of the pandemic on smoking trajectories over the next decade.

Results from LimitationRecognizer: We detected the following sentences addressing limitations in the study:

A limitation of this study was that not all of the collected samples could be sequenced, due to a minimal viral load requirement for sequencing; samples with a Ct>28 could not be sequenced. Of the collected samples, only 23% contained sufficient sample for sequencing. However, during the period of testing, Omicron replaced Delta as the dominant SARS-CoV-2 variant in the state of Massachusetts[15]. State-wide, Omicron accounted for only 1% of sequenced SARS-CoV-2 samples in the week commencing November 29th, 2021. However, this increased to 99% of sequenced cases in the week commencing January 10th, 2022 [15]. Figure 2 highlights the shift in SARS-CoV-2 variant dominance from Delta to Omicron over time, indicating that the tested samples were a mixture of the two variants (Figure 2), as confirmed by the sequenced samples.
