      Results from OddPub: Thank you for sharing your code and data.

      Results from LimitationRecognizer: We detected the following sentences addressing limitations in the study:
      While new viral genomes are sequenced and released daily, a limitation could paradoxically arise from the non-accessibility of associated metadata. Indeed, without sufficiently precise data about the geographic origin of each genome, it is not feasible to perform a spatially-explicit phylogeographic inference. In the same way that viral genomes are deposited in databases like GISAID, metadata should also be made available to enable comprehensive epidemiological investigations with a similar approach as we presented here.

      However, it must be noted that a low detection rate of COVID-19 using PCR was a limitation in these studies. Notably, six of 34 infected patients (19%) experienced scrotal discomfort, which suggested possible testicular damage, although the mechanism was not clear16. Given the possible role of cytokines (especially IL6) in COVID-19 illness, we established a signature that included ACE2 and various cytokine receptors. By performing cell-specific analysis with our signature in the kidney, we found that ACE2 was remarkable higher in proximal tubule cells, and IL6ST (the main receptor for IL6) was significantly enriched in fenestrated and glomerular endothelial cells. From the results of the histopathological examinations conducted by Su et al. on 26 autopsy kidney samples from COVID-19 patients, diffuse injury was observed in proximal tubules and included the loss of the brush border, non-isometric vacuolar degeneration, and even marked necrosis36. Besides, nine samples showed increased serum creatinine and (or) the appearance of proteinuria. Our results might partially explain this phenomenon. First, with higher ACE2 expression in proximal tubule cells, the mutual interaction of ACE2 and SARS-CoV-2 may promote virus entry into the cells. Following cell entry, the virus would cause tissue damage via direct injury due to the viral cytotoxicity37. Kidney proximal tubule cells with ACE2-positive expression showed some relevant biological events for the mechanisms of injury, includi...

      Results from LimitationRecognizer: We detected the following sentences addressing limitations in the study:
      A key limitation of this assay is that it does not distinguish between IgG, IgA, or IgM against SARS-CoV-2, which may be desired in certain clinical scenarios. IgG subclasses can similarly not be distinguished. Also, the assay is highly dependent on the viral antigen deployed, such that clinicians should be aware if RBD antibody levels are negative, the patient could have still had COVID19. While the assay is simple and can be read with the naked eye, there is more subjectivity to it compared to interpreting lines on lateral flow assays or light detection in chemiluminescent ELISA’s. Depending on mixing technique and provider comfort, there could be variability, likely necessitating training and/or deployment of controls in order to ensure proper reading of the assay. A negative control test without fusion protein will be important to include during clinical implementation for patients with positive tests, given that rare patients may have IgM autoantibodies causing agglutination.31 Given the similarities of this test to currently used ABO typing32 and Monospot assays for EBV antibodies,33 we ultimately do not see this being a significant barrier. Lastly, the fusion protein stability is unknown, which is important for use in low-resource countries. Past studies with similar fusion proteins for hemagglutination assays found stability at least 30 days at 37°C and 6 months at 4°C with no loss of assay agglutination activity.14 Ultimately, similar investigations will be important...

      This study does have limitations, being a single site study with a limited number of NP swab specimens (n = 150) included in the clinical evaluation. However, this specimen set was selected to be representative of our patient population (including samples from patients of all ages and both genders) and positivity rate (50-60% in the beginning of April 2020), and included samples with a range of viral loads (low, moderate, high). Some initial equivocal or invalid results (n=3) by BioFire and Fusion required retesting, but only 1 remained unresolved on retest and was removed from the agreement analysis for the Fusion assay. In conclusion, our data show that the Fusion, Aptima and BioFire SARS-CoV-2 NAATs exhibit similar LODs, even when tested using two different quantified standards. In addition, the Fusion and BioFire assays have comparable clinical performance for detection of SARS-CoV-2 in NP swabs, with a PPA of 98.7%, while the Aptima assay showed a slight reduction at 94.7% PPA. All 3 assays demonstrated 100% NPA, suggesting high specificity. These performance characteristics, as well as testing volume and workflow requirements, should be considered when making testing platform decisions.

      Results from LimitationRecognizer: We detected the following sentences addressing limitations in the study:
      One caveat however for fast DIRECT-PCR of samples with low viral load is that of sampling error, since only 1 μL of sample is used. Nucleic acid extractions, on the other hand, serve to concentrate RNA from typical sample volumes of 150-300 μL, although their yield can also be low and variable. Hence, where samples are expected to have low counts near to the limit of detection, DIRECT-PCR with larger volume reactions (25 μL) to include higher template volume may be necessary to reduce risk of false negatives. Reduction in amplification efficiency is a common concern in DIRECT-PCR from crude samples (e.g. respiratory samples, blood and serum). The presence of PCR inhibitors can decrease the sensitivity and accuracy of pathogen detection through interfering with polymerase activity, degradation of nucleic acids and efficient cell lysis (23). A variety of methods have been developed to overcome such inhibition, including inhibitor tolerant polymerases, additives and buffer modification. In our study, we used one commercially available formulation that tolerated PCR inhibition in sputum and nasal exudates as well as blood/serum/urine (data not shown), and it is not unlikely that other formulations could be used as well in our study. While amplification directly from sputum and nasal exudate reduced the efficiency of PCR compared to water controls, there was no net effect on the threshold of detection. Nasopharyngeal swabs and sputum have been suggested to be effective clinical sa...

      This is also particularly germane given the limitations of animal models of COVID-19 infection and pathogenesis. A diverse variety of initial hits were identified in our high throughput screen of the broad library. Of these, the most potent hits are all known protease inhibitors and there is strong representation from protease inhibitors developed to inhibit HCV protease NS3/4A (Boceprevir, Ciluprevir, Narlaprevir, and Telaprevir). Clearly as approved or well-developed clinical candidates, these drugs exhibit pharmacological and pharmacodynamic properties well suited to repurposing as a COVID-19 antiviral therapy. Boceprevir and Narlaprevir appear the most potent against Mpro and may be suitable for repurposing. Previous clinical evaluation of Boceprevir (also known as Victrelis) showed it to be safe and effective for treating HCV 37. Boceprevir was approved as a first in class HCV NS3/4A serine protease inhibitor for treatment of chronic HCV infection. Boceprevir was FDA approved for use in the USA in 2011 and Boceprevir treatment is given as a combination therapy with interferon α2b and ribavirin. Likewise, clinical evaluation of Narlaprevir (also known as Arlansa or SCH900518) showed it to be both safe and to exhibit antiviral activity when combined with interferon α2b 38. Furthermore, Narlaprevir has been show effective against HCV NS3/4A mutations causing resistance to protease inhibitors 39. Narlaprevir was approved for use against HCV in Russia in 2016.

      We know that a possible limitation of this study is the heterogeneity of patients and controls, which are not matched for gender, major comorbidities and other clinical characteristics. For this reason, further analyses in a larger cohort of samples are mandatory in order to test this hypothesis of a combined model for COVID-19 susceptibility with a number of common susceptibility genes which represent the fertile background in which additional private, rare or low frequency mutations confer to the host the most favorable environment for virus growth and organ damage.

      Whilst RT-qPCR reactions are generally very sensitive (i.e. able to detect true positive cases) and specific, the technology has inherent limitations with regard to large scale population screening, which has become increasingly important during this pandemic. Additionally, RT-qPCR does not provide any genotypic information regarding a patient’s infection beyond the causal organism. Another advantage of NGS over RT-qPCR is that NGS provides a direct and functional measurement SARS-CoV-2. RT-qPCR generates florescent measurements for individual plate wells, indirectly quantifying the presence of genetic material in relative concentrations. Alternatively, NGS generates thousands of reads, directly measuring the specific sequences present in a sample. The sequence information generated could provide insight into the specific infecting isolate and aid in tracing transmission within communities. HiDRA-seq, built on Next Generation Sequencing technology, has the ability to multiplex thousands of barcoded patient samples, significantly increasing current testing capacity. Our method is designed to be partially performed on a small automated liquid handling machine, so that a single person is able process more than 2,000 RNA samples per day with ease. This results in an overall shorter diagnostic turnaround time, with library preparation and sequencing data obtained in as little as 1.5 days. Our system does not match the speed of RT-qPCR for individual samples. However, it outperform...

      Results from LimitationRecognizer: We detected the following sentences addressing limitations in the study:
      There are several limitations for this study. Firstly, individuals with no or only mild symptoms might not seek treatment, and therefore, not be included in the dataset, especially for epidemic stages 1 and 2. This reporting bias could result in underestimation for the number of cases as well as R0. Secondly, we did not include epidemic data from Hong Kong, Macau, Taiwan, and foreign countries. Spatial and temporal heterogeneity would have been larger if these data were included. Finally, we used data from laboratory diagnosed cases, and therefore, the number of predicted cases after February 12 would be lower than the officially reported number of both clinically and laboratory diagnosed cases, when the revised reporting rule was implemented; unfortunately, it is not possible to differentiate the numbers of clinically- and laboratory-diagnosed cases.

      Results from LimitationRecognizer: We detected the following sentences addressing limitations in the study:
      The limitations of our study include the retrospective nature of the COVID-19 cohort, which could lead to possible under-recording of some less common comorbidities and drug history, in particular related to use of glucocorticoids. Even though we included 578 cases, we may have modest power to evaluate potential risk factors with low frequency. In the large case series (n=1099) of COVID-19 patients,3 a number of co-morbidities such as cardiovascular (2.5%), cerebrovascular (1.4%) and chronic obstructive pulmonary diseases (1.1%) were infrequent and cancers, immunodeficiency and chronic kidney disease altogether formed 1.8% of the COVID-19 cases. Most patients with cardiovascular comorbidities qualify for angiotensin-converting enzyme inhibitor (ACEI) or angiotensin II receptor blocker (ARB) therapy. However, prescribing patterns of these drugs vary widely from China to the UK where ACEIs are much more commonly prescribed.43 Although with a much larger sample size this may prove to be significant if the effect is real, this compared poorly with other factors contributing to severity such hypertension (OR 2.8) or the use of immunosuppressants (OR 5.37). In addition, low case-fatality rate of 0.6% means that we were not able to assess risk factors associated with mortality. Another limitation is the lack of pre-pandemic data on glycemic control, since DPPIV inhibitors and insulin are usually prescribed to patients with poorer glycemic control than those receiving glucosidase inh...

      Results from TrialIdentifier: No clinical trial numbers were referenced.

      Results from Barzooka: We found bar graphs of continuous data. We recommend replacing bar graphs with more informative graphics, as many different datasets can lead to the same bar graph. The actual data may suggest different conclusions from the summary statistics. For more information, please see Weissgerber et al (2015).

      Results from JetFighter: We did not find any issues relating to colormaps.

      This genetic similarity places limitations on some inferences such as calculating the ratio of imported cases to local transmissions in a given area. Yet we have shown that, precisely because of this slow rate, when as little as one mutation separates viruses, this difference can provide enough information for hypothesis testing when appropriate methods are employed. Bearing this in mind will put us in a better position to understand SARS-CoV-2 in the coming years.

      Our tool has some strengths and weaknesses. It is publicly available and the data are easily downloadable. Since we include the WHO ICTRP data, the EUCTR and clinicaltrials.gov, it provides global coverage of clinical trials activity of medicinal products against COVID-19. Our methodology also allows for rapid update as new trials are registered. Manual assessment of each trial has both advantages and shortcomings. Thanks to this manual assessment we have been able to eliminate duplicates and non-interventional trials, and to characterize interventions truly tested in trials (and not listed because of their use in the control group). However, the manual assessment may also lead to rare, though possible, coding errors. In the case of duplicate registrations only one record is used as the reference record and the duplicate entries discarded, therefore the counts for the individual registries, as shown in Figure 2, may not accurately reflect the true number of COVID-19 trials included in them. Our work is however limited by the quality of the information included in the different registries. Common issues include unclear data regarding specific interventions, missing or incomplete data in key fields such as planned enrolment or number and location of trial sites, duplicate entries for some trials within a single registry. Data analysis is also complicated by the lack of API access to some registries – using web spidering technology is inherently brittle and inferior to full prog...

      Results from LimitationRecognizer: We detected the following sentences addressing limitations in the study:
      This study has some limitations. First, covariates regarding lifestyle (smoking status and alcohol consumption) and socioeconomic status (education and income level) of patients were not included in the analytic model. The NHI database was constructed on the basis of claims data and thus these variables were not available. Although unmeasured confounders are known to be associated with worse outcomes after SARS-CoV-2 infection, the result from the sensitivity analysis suggests that an unmeasured confounder associated with both mental disorders and death by a risk ratio of 3.08-fold each is required to explain away the observed OR of 1.84. Hence, our findings would be robust unless there is an unmeasured confounder of such magnitude. Second, we identified severe events based on diagnostic and procedure codes, which were recorded for administrative purpose; thus, there was potential for misclassification of outcomes. However, a validation study comparing the claims database and inpatients’ medical records of hospitals reported that the overall agreement of diagnosis was 82.0%.(29) Procedure codes, which are directly related to payment from the NHI, are also likely to be highly valid. Third, although we utilized the database covering overall COVID-19 patients in Korea, the number of patients with mental disorders was not sufficient to evaluate the risk of death and severe events by subgroup analysis based on more subdivided disease type such as depression, anxiety, and dementia....

      Although our approach provides the multi-dimensional view on SARS-CoV2 and host interaction, two major limitations need to be considered, 1) the interaction between SARS-CoV2 spike protein with the host angiotensin (ACE2) receptor is not defined in affinity purification mass spectrometry data. Hence, no direct ACE2 interaction has been established in our interactome. 2) We propose a few miRNAs from our approach, are needed to be validated further for clinical application.

      Strengths and Limitations: Our study is the first study that examines the association between long-term exposure to NO2 and PM2·5 at very high geographical precision. The spatial unit of our analysis is LSOAs, for which there are 32 844 in England (~130 000km), whereas previous studies have used 317 LTLAs in England, counties in the US (3 122 in an area ~9·8 million km2) and municipalities in the Netherlands (334 in an area ~41 500km2). Such high-resolution allows capturing the localised geographical patterns of the pollutants but also ensures adequate confounding and spatial autocorrelation adjustment. Our study also covers, so far, the largest temporal window of the epidemic (capturing the entire first wave, Figure S25 Supplementary Material), while most previous studies focused on the early to mid-stages of the first wave. This ensures better generalisability of the results. We also adjusted for spatial autocorrelation, which was found to be a crucial component in the model. Not accounting for spatial autocorrelation, when spatial autocorrelation is present, is expected to give rise to narrower credible intervals and false positive effects.28 Our study has also some limitations. The downscaling procedure will likely inflate the reported credible intervals. However, this naturally reflects the uncertainty of the place of residence resulted from the downscaling approach. Although we consider small areas, the study is still an ecological one and thus the reported effects do n...

      Results from LimitationRecognizer: We detected the following sentences addressing limitations in the study:
      The study has several limitations. First, the observational study design makes selection bias inevitable, especially considering the potential discrepancy in hospital referral and admission threshold between the two study groups. However, our findings remained largely consistent after controlling for potential confounders related to demographics, comorbidities, clinical signs, and markers of disease severity. Second, the study population was limited to one healthcare system in Michigan admitting patients from certain prisons and communities, and therefore external generalizability requires validation. Finally, presented findings were based on data extracted from the electronic medical records of the health system, and hence, is subjected to the accuracy of documentation by the healthcare team, but the outcomes were adjudicated and all patients discharged alive were contacted directly or through their healthcare office. In conclusion, our study provides insight into the disparity in clinical outcomes among prisoners hospitalized with COVID-19. With COVID-19 becoming one of the leading causes of death in the U.S., findings on the association between imprisonment and COVID-19 mortality are alarming. Responding to the outbreaks in incarceration facilities is uniquely challenging and failure to mount an adequate response to ameliorate COVID-19 outbreaks in U.S prions has the potential to compromise the well-being of prisoners, correctional workforce, and people living in the commu...

      Results from LimitationRecognizer: We detected the following sentences addressing limitations in the study:
      This study has limitations. First, although we used a demographically representative sample of the UK population, we cannot be sure how representative survey respondents are of the views and behaviours of the general population.(26, 27) However, we assume that associations between variables follow the same pattern as those in the general population.(28) Second, we cannot infer causality due to the cross-sectional nature of the study. Third, we investigated vaccination intention. Actual vaccination uptake is likely to be lower. (21) Given the theoretical importance of intention in theories of uptake of health behaviours,(5, 6) it is likely that factors associated with vaccination intention in this study will also influence vaccination uptake. Fourth, due to unclear evidence of the role of children in transmission of COVID-19 in the UK (12) and space constraints in the survey, we chose not to investigate intention to vaccinate one’s child for COVID-19. High levels of uptake of a COVID-19 vaccination when one becomes available will be necessary in order for the UK government’s COVID-19 recovery strategy to be fulfilled and for life to return to ‘normal’. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first methodologically rigorous study investigating intention to receive a COVID-19 vaccination in a demographically-representative sample of the UK population. While there is still much uncertainty surrounding COVID-19 and vaccination, results from this study provide useful insights tha...

      The limitations of the current study should be addressed. First, due to the limitation of data resource, stratified analyses or analyses adjusted for other covariates were impossible. In addition, it is hard to represent the universal conclusions for other ethnic groups based on European population. In conclusion, our study showed that AF might be a consequence rather than a risk factor of severe COVID-19, indicating that the future study should pay attention to the prognosis of severe COVID-19.

      Our study has several limitations. It is an observational study without control group. It represents a small number of patients from a single center. In the analysis of the results, it was not possible to have some data in all the patients. This report may not capture adverse events that may occur in the long term. Our study is relevant because it represents the experience of a Latin American country, with a population poorly represented in other series. In addition, we provide more information to assist in choosing the best “window of opportunity” for tocilizumab use, specially the work of a multidisciplinary team that evaluated each patient in detail. Our team analyzed the pathophysiological rationality and the accumulated evidence and established criteria to consider the use of tocilizumab that considered the presence of an uncontrolled inflammatory response. Even when the patients met the established criteria, there was a group discussion weighing the risks and possible benefits before suggesting the use of the drug. Furthermore, we describe the use of tocilizumab together with high doses of CS, we detail the infections, adverse events, and deaths, and we analyze the variables associated with a better hospital stay. The provided data is useful to improve patient selection, trying to minimize risks and optimize efficacy. Our study suggests the utility and shows the safety of tocilizumab use in COVID-19 patients who have respiratory failure and evidence of CRS. Lymphocyte i...

      Results from LimitationRecognizer: We detected the following sentences addressing limitations in the study:
      This study is not without its limitations. The study ultimately included a modest number of patients receiving G-CSF (N=16). In this observational cohort, unaccounted confounding factors are plausible. This analysis attempted to assess G-CSF over a wide range of cancers; tumor-specific effects were difficult to ascertain. We also limit our primary analysis to the subset of patients who were hospitalized, to be able to assess our clinical endpoints of interest (respiratory failure or death). As a result, the potential for G-CSF to worsen outcomes, suggested here, may not be generalizable to outpatients. While our analysis adjusts for the neutrophil count prior to G-CSF administration, we have not incorporated data on concurrent therapies such as chemotherapies or surgery prior to the diagnosis of COVID-19 in these patients. Interestingly, in lieu of the COVID-19 pandemic, the National Comprehensive Cancer Network and the American Society of Clinical Oncology have released updated guidelines on this very issue, lowering the threshold for the use of G-CSF to now include those chemotherapy regimens that carry a 10 to 20 percent risk of fever in the setting of neutropenia24. Although there is a potential role for G-CSF and its prophylactic use following the administration of chemotherapy when neutropenia is anticipated (primary prophylaxis) and during retreatment after a previous cycle of chemotherapy had caused fever during neutropenia (secondary prophylaxis),25 G-CSF has not def...

      Results from LimitationRecognizer: We detected the following sentences addressing limitations in the study:
      There are several limitations to this study. In order to achieve a good response rate, we conducted this study within our Healthcare Network. A benefit of this was that as a healthcare network in one of the earliest areas affected by COVID-19, we are able to analyze its effects in a timely fashion that may benefit other geographic areas affected similarly in the future. However, the results of this study may not be generalizable to residents in other programs in the United States. While residents in states with lower incidence of COVID-19 may not be as significantly impacted as residents at our institution, continued evolution of the COVID pandemic and the rise of new epicenters of disease may make these results more generalizable over time. Another limitation is the presence of recall bias; residents were asked to recount hours and experiences prior to the pandemic and compare them to the present time. This type of design can result in both perception bias as well as historical bias for which we cannot account. Despite its limitations, these results are integral, as they highlight the varied but significant impacts of the pandemic on resident education. Different specialties were affected in diverse ways, and just as before the pandemic, education should be tailored to each specialty. Moving forward, program directors and leaders within each field should be cognizant of the changing needs of the residents within their specialty, keeping in mind that COVID-19 affected the amo...

      Results from LimitationRecognizer: We detected the following sentences addressing limitations in the study:
      Limitations: The included studies utilized varied doses of tocilizumab (single or double), and duration drug availability issues emerged in some centers, which may have influenced both sample sizes and study designs. The treatment allocations in these observational studies were based solely upon physician judgement rather than random assignment thereby leading to chances of risk of bias without accounting for risk factors. As the case series consists of studies with low sample sizes might likely cause over estimation of the overall effect size.

      Results from TrialIdentifier: No clinical trial numbers were referenced.

      Results from Barzooka: We found bar graphs of continuous data. We recommend replacing bar graphs with more informative graphics, as many different datasets can lead to the same bar graph. The actual data may suggest different conclusions from the summary statistics. For more information, please see Weissgerber et al (2015).

      However, there are several limitations to our study. First, we used a convenience sample, and caution must be exercised in generalization of our findings to the broader population of patients with psychiatric disorders. Second, this was a cross-sectional study which limits our ability to infer causality and also to conclude about the long term mental health consequences of the COVID-19 pandemic. Third, this study depended on self-report of patients instead of a structured clinical interview which could provide a better picture of the psychological distress in our patients. Finally, subjects in this study were mostly from an urban area, and this can limit generalization of the findings to subjects from rural environments. In summary, patients with psychiatric disorders reported a high rate of psychological distress as an immediate response to the COVID-19 outbreak. In parallel, a significant number of patients described that their psychological status worsened during the outbreak. PTSD symptoms and comorbid depression, as well as anxiety, and impaired sleep comprise a substantial part of the distress described by these individuals. Various personal (i.e., age, educational attainment, gender, psychiatric diagnosis, chronic medical disease), behavioral (i.e., duration of media exposure) and social factors (i.e., infection prevalence in the social vicinity, and job loss during the outbreak) are likely to mediate the mental health effects in the context of COVID-19.

      Nevertheless, our study has certain limitations. The expression of PLA2G7 was not validated in nasal swabs from the patients with severe COVID-19. In addition, the plasma levels of Lp-PLA2 in pneumonia patients were also not tested. Due to limited information of clinical traits of samples, confounding factors, such as pre-existing CVDs, which could increase the likelihood of PLA2G7 positivities, were not controlled. The in-house qRT-PCR assay of PLA2G7 was not optimized, leading to inadequate diagnostic performance. Most of the samples were retrospectively collected in Wuhan, China. It has been almost several months passed since all the samples were collected. The freshness of samples could also undermine the performance of the in-house PLA2G7 targeted qRT-PCR and commercial Lp-PLA2 ELISA toolkit. Taken together, we firstly identified proinflammatory monocytes-driven macrophages specific PLA2G7 in lungs, a typically biomarker of CVDs, which leaded to abnormal levels of plasma Lp-PLA2, was enhanced in COVID-19. Importantly, PLA2G7 was detected in nasal swabs from patients with pneumonia. Although levels of PLA2G7 was significantly elevated in severe pneumonia comparing to moderate pneumonia, there were no significant differences between that in COVID-19 and severe pneumonia.

      A limitation of the study is that we assumed a 75% occupancy and 15% walk-in percentage during COVID-19 hospital operations. Due to decreases in elective procedures, or low COVID-19 patient admission, hospitals in various areas may not have maintained that occupancy rate. However, the intent was to assess energy usage in locations where hospitals were accommodating maximum patient loads and the associated energy impact and impact of infection control measures. Due to proprietary restrictions, another limitation is that the UV equipment usage was accounted for from a different company than the XP-UV robot itself.

      Nevertheless, the are some limitations in our study. As the nature of SARS-COV-2 is relatively unknown or dynamic, and it is prone to mutations, the prediction of the spread of the pandemic is not an easy mission. Factors that influenced the reported new cases per day, for example, the efficiency of reporting, the different quality and timing of public health measures, country-specific age-pyramid, and chronic disease burden of the population were not included in our training data set due to lack of reliable data. We did not investigate the number of deaths and recoveries, as we found no reliable data at that time. Similarly, the data regarding diagnostic tests performed per country, or death rates were omitted, given they are highly influenced by the countries’ economic wellbeing, health care systems, facilities and capacities, and other factors [34,35]. There are lots of unforeseen uncertainties and coincidences which could not be implemented in our model, for example, there were days when a large number of people have been diagnosed with COVID-19 on one day (for example in care homes in France or Hungary) that caused a large increase in the number of the daily new cases [16]. To summarize, the COVID-19 disease is a global health challenge, which forced the WHO to declare it a “public health emergency of international concern on 30/01/2020” and later as a global pandemic [18]. The influence of this global epidemic has dug deep into the day-to-day conduct of everyone, with u...

      The limitations in our overall analysis need to be considered, specifically that 5% of patients remain in hospital at the time of the data lock and more patients have been admitted, so our findings will evolve. Since the proportion of patients presenting from different ethnic groups was stable across the course of data collection, any consequence for our main conclusion on the mortality risk in South Asians admitted to hospital is likely to be small. Data on the admission severity scoring did not include all patients, which is a limitation. This limitation reflects the real-world response within a global pandemic which includes designing a score to inform care escalation decisions and updating the UHB electronic health record to capture this information during the first wave of patient admissions. However, these data suggest further exploration of severity of disease at presentation is warranted. It is also important to acknowledge that standardised admission and mortality ratios from Birmingham and Solihull use the most recent census data, but that these are from 2011. Estimates of the contemporary age structure do not however suggest a need to significantly qualify these findings. The UK has not undertaken widespread screening or diagnosis of patients in the community, we are therefore unable to comment upon the natural history of COVID-19 prior to admission to secondary care, irrespective of ethnic group. This testing regime is likely to evolve with the development of capa...

      Results from LimitationRecognizer: We detected the following sentences addressing limitations in the study:
      Before summarizing the results, we prefer to point out several limitations of our analysis. First, the French clade we analysed is in fact an international clade: although most French sequences appear to be grouping into two main subclades within this clade, it is possible that the variations in epidemic growth that we detect are more due to European than French control policies. Second, some French regions (e.g. Auvergne-Rhone-Alpes) are more represented than others (e.g. Occitanie is absent), which could bias the analysis at the national level. However, the coverage is largely proportional to the state of the epidemics in France in March, where the Paris area and the East of France were more heavily impacted. Therefore, we expect the addition of sequences from less impacted regions to have a limited effect on our doubling time and reproduction number estimates. Finally, the molecular clock had to be set in this analysis because we do not have enough samples from the month of Feb in France. Despite these limitations, our results obtained early Apr confirm a slowing down of the epidemic in France, where the epidemic peak in terms of ICU admissions was reached on Apr 1. Indeed, by adding sequences sampled between Mar 12 and 24 to the phylogeny, the doubling time of the epidemic estimated by an exponential growth coalescent model increased by 48%. This slowdown is more clearly detected using a birth death model via the temporal reproduction number ℛ(t): the median value decreas...

      A clear limitation of our study is the use of Apple mobility data (23) as a proxy for the local mobility of individuals within a country. A comparison with alternative provider-based mobility data (25) shows that, at least for the example of Germany, the Apple data overestimate the true reduction in mobility by up to 25%. This suggests that the Apple data are biased towards a subset of the population that can potentially respond more rapidly and more flexibly to the new stay-at-home conditions. While we clearly have to be careful to draw conclusions from mobility in absolute numbers, we believe that the general trends are indicative of a universal reduction in mobility within the general population. Strikingly, in most countries, this reduction emerged naturally, well ahead of political intervention, as a result of voluntary behavioral changes in the population, see Fig. 2. Phase III: Reduced mobility reduces the number of new cases and initiates a flattening of the curve: In the outbreak dynamics, reduced local mobility induces a reduction of the effective reproduction number Rt and with it convergence to an enforced equilibrium state, a converged state under given constraints, long before herd immunity is achieved in the entire population. The speed and magnitude by which the reproduction number drops are a measure of the effectiveness of public health interventions. For example, in Austria, a country that is known for its strict response to the pandemic Rt dropped from 4.0...

      This study has a number of limitations. The basic data on confirmed COVID-19 cases was derived from a regime of partial, voluntary testing. Without universal, compulsory testing, it is difficult to draw definitive conclusions about trends in the incidence of new SARS-CoV-2 infections. Recent estimates from serologic surveys suggest that, at least in the period before the Full Phase 1 reopening, the actual incidence of infection was significantly higher (Havers et al. 2020) Nonetheless, the available evidence from this detailed study in the 16 most populous counties in Florida points to a substantial rise in case incidence in both younger and older adults after Full Phase 1 reopening went into effect on May 18. We lack detailed data on the symptomatology and case severity of individuals voluntarily undergoing testing. Without such data, it is difficult to evaluate definitively the hypothesis that the observed rise in COVID-19 case incidence, as seen in all adult age groups in Figures 2, 3, 4, 5, 10 and Appendix 1, was due in part to liberalization of testing criteria, thus resulting in expanded testing of milder cases. Still, the patterns of total tests and positive tests seen in Figure 6 for the entire state and in Figure 7 for a specific county are inconsistent with supply constraints on testing as an important explanation for the overall rise in COVID-19 incidence. Our analysis indicates that the time path of positive tests was largely independent of the number of total tes...

      This study has several limitations. The use of multiple models to predict the outcome of an epidemic in a single country may result in outcome that varies significantly from one another, thus increasing the level of uncertainty. Limited data availability of Bangladesh specific transmission and recovery rates forces us to select initial values that may not be appropriate. Time specific influential events such holidays, major climate events and subnational events could not be captured in any of the models. Some of these events may extend the epidemic period. This study also does not take into account recent changes in policy such as assignment of red zone, lock down of neighborhoods, increases in contact tracing and other measures that government has taken to mitigate the spread of the virus. This study does not address the direct and indirect health effects of the COVID-19 epidemic. Future analysis could address these shortcomings. There may also be a need to better understand and apply measures not directly captured in epidemiological reporting; we may need to include sociological and anthropological considerations in localities to better address the appropriateness of measures and methods in our modelling approach (37).

      Results from LimitationRecognizer: We detected the following sentences addressing limitations in the study:
      Our study have some limitations; (I) the number of national genomes available at the time of analysis; and (II) the number of detected variations. These limitations should be eliminated for further studies. In conclusion, the results of present study indicated that the SARS-CoV-2 sequences of our isolates have great similarity with all Turkish and European sequences. Further studies should be performed for better comparison of strains, after more complete genome sequences will be released; however, these data may be useful to understand the dynamics of virus spread and may help the further vaccine and treatment studies. On the other hand, the increase of SARS-CoV-2 cases all over the world is giving more genomes that may present some visibility of populace structure. This study showed the common and new variations in SARS-CoV-2 isolates. The fight against COVID-19 will last long time until the effective vaccine or drug will be developed. However, we believe that collecting and sharing any data about SARS-CoV-2 virus and COVID-19 will be effective and may help the related studies. At that point, we should carry on detecting the new variations.

      We emphasize that sequencing errors are likely to pose similar challenges for other placement tools and our analysis is meant to serve as a guideline to the user rather than highlight the limitations of UShER. Quantifying Uncertainty in Sample Placement: Quantifying uncertainty in phylogenetic placement is critical for accurately interpreting SARS-CoV-2 phylogenies where true phylogenetic signal is limited and sometimes even contradictory36,37. We developed functionality within UShER to report the number of equally parsimonious placements by default. Additionally, UShER can output the minimum number of additional mutations required to accommodate a single sample placed on each branch of the reference tree, a measure which we call the Branch Parsimony Score (BPS). We limit this function to single sample placements because it would be challenging to quantify and to represent the uncertainty imposed by the sequential incorporation of additional samples. As would be expected given the typically unambiguous sample placements for high quality sequences on the global phylogeny, BPS typically increases rapidly with increasing distance along the tree (e.g. Figure 3). UShER is Consistent with Standard Phylogenetics Methods Using Real SARS-CoV-2 Data: To evaluate the performance of our approach under realistic conditions with genuine SARS-CoV-2 data, we used UShER to place real samples onto a global reference phylogeny. Because the phylogeny was necessarily inferred from real data (see ...

      Results from LimitationRecognizer: We detected the following sentences addressing limitations in the study:
      Beyond general comments on the disadvantages of major types of COVID-19 vaccines (24, 25), the limitations of inactivated SARS-CoV-2 vaccines are crucial biosafety concerns regarding large amounts of infectious virus being processed above biological safety level-3 (BSL-3) condition and production capacity; for LNP-mRNA vaccines instability and lack of evidence for efficacy are puzzling; for adenovirus vectored vaccines, pre-existing immunity to the carrier virus and the relative weakness of single-shot immunization appear limiting factors. In this study, we generated two novel adenovirus vectored COVID-19 vaccines encoding the full-length S gene of SARS-CoV-2. The intact S glycoprotein rather than the shorter S or RBD proteins was shown to be the most effective antigen eliciting protective immunity against SARS-CoV-2 infection in DNA vaccines and Ad26 vectored vaccines (12,13,26). The vectors Sad23L and Ad49L originated from simian adenovirus type 23 and human adenovirus type 49, respectively (22, 23), are novel adenoviral vector. Comparing Ad5-vectored COVID-19, ChAdox1 nCoV-19 and Ad26.COV2.S vaccines (8-12,14,21), three attractive aspects emphasized in this study are highlighted below. Firstly, there is a low-seroprevalence of pre-existing antibodies to Sad23L and Ad49L vectors in humans. According to the investigation of NAb to three types of adenoviruses in Chinese population, the prevalence of both Sad23L and Ad49L NAb was below 10%, while the prevalence of Ad5 NAb was ...

      Results from LimitationRecognizer: We detected the following sentences addressing limitations in the study:
      Our study also confirms the limitations of relying on Vero E6 cells as a system for developing classes of drugs such as entry inhibitors as they do not accurately reflect the preferred entry mechanism of SARS-CoV-2 into human airway cells (Hoffmann, Mosbauer, et al., 2020; T. Ou et al., 2020). Indeed the data here explains why chloroquine is ineffective in clinic against SARS-CoV-2 (Hoffmann, Mosbauer, et al., 2020), since during replication in the human airway WT SARS-CoV-2 has evolved to enter cells without the need for endosomal acidification. Monitoring wild coronaviruses will likely be important in predicting and preventing future pandemics. We suggest that a furin CS in the SARS lineage is a cause for concern. The polybasic insertion to the S1/S2 CS provides a significant fitness advantage in TMPRSS2 expressing cells and is likely essential for efficient human transmission.

      Results from LimitationRecognizer: We detected the following sentences addressing limitations in the study:
      Some caveats and limitations should be considered when interpreting the results. First, the extent to which our sample represents the larger PGC is unknown as we are unable to calculate response rate or representativeness as the survey link was shared widely across PGC groups and subgroups. The composition of the sample, namely primarily female (53.7% of total sample) and in a permanent/tenured position (56.1%), does not necessarily reflect the overall composition of the PGC and may reflect selective participation. Second, given our goal of providing strictly descriptive results, we did not undertake formal efforts at establishing a coding scheme for the free text responses. Third, the survey was deployed relatively early in the pandemic when it was not yet clear how long the disruption to research would go on. Responses could change as the duration of the home- and work-related disruption continues and researchers become increasingly fatigued by the pervasive and persistent disruption. Finally, our failure to assess race and ethnicity was a missed opportunity to capture specific concerns faced by researchers from underrepresented minority groups. As a field, genetics already has considerable underrepresentation of researchers from diverse ancestral backgrounds; our findings for other historically disadvantaged groups (e.g., women, early career investigators) suggest that the pandemic may further exacerbate this underrepresentation. Recurring themes that emerged focused on th...

      Results from LimitationRecognizer: We detected the following sentences addressing limitations in the study:
      Several limitations of the present study exist. First, the dataset relies on publicly available information that is not uniformly distributed (i.e., collected from various sources), and therefore the availability of dates relevant to our analyses is limited to a small, selective sample that is not necessarily generalizable to all confirmed cases. Moreover, given the novelty of the COVID-19 pneumonia, it is possible that illness onset and other event data were handled differently between jurisdictions (e.g., was illness onset the date of fever or date of dyspnea?). Second, our data include very coarse date intervals with some proxy dates used to determine the left and/or right hand dates of some intervals. Third, as the sample size was limited, the variance is likely to be biased. Fourth, we were not able to examine the heterogeneity of estimates by different attributes of cases (e.g., severity of disease) [19]. Lastly, as we only have information on confirmed cases, there is a bias towards more severe disease–particularly for earlier cases. This study presents the estimates of epidemiological characteristics of COVID-19 infections that are key parameter for studies on incidence, case fatality, and epidemic final size, among other possibilities [7, 11]. From the 95th percentile estimate of the incubation period we found that the length of quarantine should be at least 14 days, and we stress that the 17–24-day time delay from illness onset to death must be addressed when estima...

      Results from LimitationRecognizer: We detected the following sentences addressing limitations in the study:
      There are five main limitations in the present study. First, our results present an estimate for the cCFR which only addresses fatality among confirmed cases. More precise IFR estimate that includes infected individuals other than confirmed cases can only be estimated using additional pieces of data (e.g., seroepidemiological data or outpatient clinic visits). It should be noted that not only the denominator but also numerator values are also subject for better estimation (e.g. excess mortality estimate). Second, our study relied on limited empirical data that were extracted from publicly available data sources. Thus, future studies with greater sample size and precision are needed. Nonetheless, we believe that this study will improve the situational assessment of the ongoing epidemic. Third, our assumed date of illness onset for the index case in Scenario 1 is based on initial reports of the earliest onset date for a case, and the continued exponential growth with the rate r is the authors’ extrapolation. However, we conducted a sensitivity analysis and ensured that the resulting statistical estimates would not greatly vary from our main results. Fourth, there is an uncertainty in the detection window time T. Since the epidemiological investigations are being actively implemented outside China, we believe that the sum of the incubation period and the infectious period can be a plausible estimation of the detection time window. Fifth, heterogeneous aspects of death (e.g. age ...

      Results from LimitationRecognizer: We detected the following sentences addressing limitations in the study:
      There are several important limitations to this analysis. Our data include early case reports, with some associated uncertainty in the intervals of exposure and symptom onset. We have attempted here to use conservative bounds of possible exposure and symptom onset where exact times were not known, but there may be further inaccuracy in this data that we do not consider here. We have exclusively considered reported, confirmed cases of 2019-nCoV, which may overrepresent hospitalized individuals and others with severe symptoms. The incubation period for these severe cases may differ from that of less severe or subclinical infections, and is not typically an applicable measure for those with asymptomatic infections. Our model assumes a constant risk of 2019-nCoV infection in Wuhan from 1 December 2019 to present, based on the date of symptom onset of the first known case. This is a simplification of infection risk, as the outbreak has shifted from a likely common-source outbreak associated with a seafood market to human-to-human transmission. Moreover, phylogenetic analysis of 38 2019-nCoV genomes suggests that the virus may have been circulating prior to December [15]. To test the sensitivity of our estimates to that assumption, we performed an analysis where cases with unknown lower bounds on exposure were set to 1 December 2018, a full year earlier than in our primary analysis. Changing this assumption had little effect on the estimates of the median (<0.1 days different), and...

      Results from LimitationRecognizer: We detected the following sentences addressing limitations in the study:
      There are several limitations to this study. First, the model is not age-structured. Second, the assumption that the latent period equals the incubation period may result in an overestimation of the latent period. This is because the beginning of the true infectious period may occur before the onset of symptoms; however, this is difficult to measure and is not generally reported in the studies that report values for the incubation period. Third, a single mortality rate has been modeled for the hospitalized infected and non-hospitalized infected classes. Fourth, many of the studies that generated parameter values evaluated populations treated at clinics or admitted at hospitals. However, a significant proportion of illness and death may occur outside of hospitals and clinics (see Cohen et al. 2017). Much work remains to be done to elucidate the etiology of ILI.

      Results from LimitationRecognizer: We detected the following sentences addressing limitations in the study:
      We acknowledge several limitations in our current study. In this study, we used a low binding affinity value of 10 μM as a threshold to define a physical drug-target interaction. However, a stronger binding affinity threshold (e.g., 1μM) may be a more suitable cut-off in drug discovery, although it will generate a smaller drug-target network. Although sizeable efforts were made for assembling large-scale, experimentally reported drug-target networks from publicly available databases, the network data may be incomplete and some drug-protein interactions may be functional associations, instead of physical bindings. We may use computational approaches to systematically predict the drug-target interactions further[24, 69]. In addition, the collected virus-host interactions are far from complete and the quality can be influenced by multiple factors, including different experimental assays and human cell line models. We may computationally predict a new virus-host interactome for HCoVs using sequence-based and structure-based approaches[70]. The current systems pharmacology model cannot separate therapeutic antiviral effects from those predictions due to lack of detailed pharmacological effects of drug targets and unknown functional consequences of virus-host interactions. Drug targets representing nodes within cellular networks are often intrinsically coupled with both therapeutic and adverse profiles[71], as drugs can inhibit or activate protein functions (including antagonists v...

      Results from LimitationRecognizer: We detected the following sentences addressing limitations in the study:
      Our study has some notable limitations. First, some cases had incomplete documentation of the exposure history, symptoms and laboratory testing given the variation in the structure of electronic database among different participating site and the urgent timeline for data extraction. Some cases were diagnosed in out-patient settings where medical information was briefly documented and incomplete laboratory testing was applied. There was a shortage of infrastructure and training of medical staff in non-specialty hospitals, which has been aggravated by the burn-out of local medical staff in milieu of a surge of cases. Second, because many patients still remained in the hospital, we did not compare the 28-day rate of the composite endpoint. To mitigate the potential bias, we have applied the competing-risk model for analysis. Third, we might have missed asymptomatic or mild cases managed at home, and hence our cohort might represent the more severe end of 2019-nCoV ARD. However, there were a minority of patients who had no apparent radiologic manifestations, suggesting that we had included patients at the early stage of disease. Last, we took reference on the existing international guideline to define the severity of 2019-nCoV because of its global recognition [15]. In summary, 2019-nCoV elicits a rapid spread of outbreak with human-to-human transmission, with a median incubation period of 3 days and a relatively low fatality rate. Absence of fever and radiologic abnormality occu...

      Results from LimitationRecognizer: We detected the following sentences addressing limitations in the study:
      The limitations of our study and implications are as follows. First, clinical data regarding kidney functions were incomplete or absent in a substantial fraction of COVID-19 patients in the overburdened local medical system during the outbreak, thus we only included patients with complete data on kidney functions (except for CT data) in this study. The sampling bias was not subjective, because the existence and collection of our data was irrelevant to clinical considerations on whether COVID-19 patients had kidney diseases or not. In particular, kidney CT data were collected not from kidney-specific scans but from the abundant image volume of chest scans. Nevertheless, our results, though largely comparable with others, should not be interpreted in the standard framework of epidemiology. This is because all our included hospitals were designated to preferentially treat severe COVID-19 patients while most non-severe patients were treated in temporarily-built field hospitals during the outbreak.Second, various drugs and interventions had been applied to COVID-19 patients, the use of which could have side-effects on kidney functions during the course of treatment, e.g., invasive mechanical ventilation25. However, regardless of what could have damaged the kidney and caused AKI in COVID-19 patients, our suggestions on exercising a high caution in monitoring kidney functions still stood. Third, this is a retrospective study that does not provide sufficient data regarding the effect...

      Results from LimitationRecognizer: We detected the following sentences addressing limitations in the study:
      Our study also has some limitations. Firstly, all the included cases were CDC-confirmed NCP patients, which may result in bias of sample selection. Meanwhile, studies have shown that 2019-nCoV caused asymptomatic infection in some individuals 2,7,8, and information of such patients is missing in our study. Secondly, most of samples were collected after antiviral treatment, which may influence the viral shedding. Third, the number of BALF samples was limited, especially for the mild cases. So, it is necessary to include more BALF samples to draw a more precise conclusion on the differences of viral shedding between the severe and mild cases. In conclusion, sputum is most accurate for laboratory diagnosis of NCP, followed by nasal swabs, while throat swabs was not recommended for the diagnosis. Detection of viral RNAs in BLAF is necessary for the diagnosis and monitoring of viruses in severe cases. In addition, CT scan could serve as an important make up for the diagnosis of NCP. The NCP cases are rapidly increasing, and we hope that this study could provide useful information for the diagnosis and control of the 2019-nCoV infection.

      Limitations of the present study must be discussed. First, the present study relied on the volume of cases diagnosed outside China and did not directly examine human migration data. Second, we were unable to classify exported cases into those who acquired infection in Hubei versus elsewhere in China. Having this information may offer additional insight. Third, several rough assumptions (e.g., a fixed time delay from illness onset to reporting at 5 days) were imposed, and the results presented here should be regarded as a preliminary assessment. In conclusion, the present study explored the impact of reduced travel volume to and from China on the transmission dynamics of COVID-19 outside China, estimating that the time delay to a major epidemic was on the order of 2 days by 7 February 2020 for Japan. Our proposed approach was kept simple and will be applicable to other emerging epidemics in the future.

      Due to the limitation of nucleic acid -based laboratory testing, there is an urgent need to look for fast alternative methods that can be used by front-line health care personals for quickly and accurately diagnosing the disease. In the present study, we have developed an AI program by analyzing representative CT images using a deep learning method. This is a retrospective, multicohort, diagnostic study using our modified Inception migration neuro network, which has achieved an overall 89.5% accuracy. Moreover, the high performance of the deep learning model we developed in this study was tested using external samples with 79.3% accuracy. More importantly, as a screening method, our model achieved a relative high sensitivity, 0.88 and 0.83 on internal and external certain CT images datasets, respectively. Furthermore, the model achieved a better performance on a certain people, the accuracy up to 82.5%. Of note, our model was used to distinguish between COVID-19 and other typical viral pneumonia, both of which have quite similar radiologic characteristics. During current COVID-19 global pandemics, the CNN model can potentially serve as a powerful tool for COVID-19 screening. It is important to note that our model aims to distinguish between COVID-19 and other typical viral pneumonia, both of which have similar radiologic characteristics. We compared the performance of our model with that of two skilled radiologists, and our model has shown much higher accuracy and sensitivity...

      Results from LimitationRecognizer: We detected the following sentences addressing limitations in the study:
      At this stage, our understanding of the dynamics of COVD-19 is still limited due to the relatively low case confirmation, a lack of comprehensive monitoring programs and other limitations. It is thus important to consider alternative information to update our understanding about the outbreak. This study integrates the recent infection data on the early dynamics of the COVD-19 outbreak in Wuhan, China with updated real time domestic traffic data. Little empirical evidence was found supporting the presence of asymptomatic transmission. However, it is still too early to rule out its presence conclusively due to the relatively low sample size and the validity of the assumptions used in this study. The updated basic reproductive number was found to be 2.12 on average, which is significantly smaller than previous estimates (Read et al., 2020; Wu et al., 2020; Zhao et al., 2020), probably because the new estimate factors in the social and non-pharmaceutical mitigation implemented in Wuhan through the evacuee dataset. The real time traffic is a crucial piece of information to understand the dynamics and the spread of the COVD-19 outbreak in Wuhan. As a major traffic hub in central China, Wuhan’s capacity to drive significant population flows is driving the accelerated spread of the disease domestically. Real time traffic flow out of Wuhan was found to differ significantly from its historical patterns. From Jan. 1, 2020, when the Huanan seafood market was disinfected, to Jan. 23, 2020...

      Another limitation is that this estimate is based on the assumption that the overall conditions are not changing. This might not be true, given that in many regions the workers have started to return for work half a month post the Spring Festival holiday (schedulely ending on Feb 31), which may increase the SARS-CoV-2 infection. In this regard, it is noted that the daily number of new confirmed cases in past a few days in several provinces and cities (e.g., Guangdong Province, Fig. 2A; Shanghai and Shenzhen City, Fig. S1D) have increased a little bit more than predicted by the model.

      In this study, we built SEIR models with a medical resource limitation factor that model the maximum number of people could be treated and isolated. We used a back propagation model to estimate the number of potential infections, and divided the epidemic area into three parts, Wuhan, Hubei (except Wuhan) and China (except Hubei) based on the different transmission pattern. In our study, we believed that COVID-19 has a R0 value of 3.6, the spread of SARS-COV-2 in China was effectively suppressed and the epidemic will end in early April. According to the worldwide public reports of various media, Chinese People, governments at all levels have taken active measures to control the spread of COVID-19. According to our research, these measures effectively controlled the spread of COVID-19. The following measures have important reference significances for the control of infectious diseases may occur in the future. On December 31, 2019, the NHC expert group arrived in Wuhan to carry out the relevant testing and verification work. On January 01, 2020, Wuhan City shut down the Huanan Seafood Wholesale Market. On January 07, 2020, the NHC expert group initially identified the pathogen in these unexplained cases of viral pneumonia as a novel coronavirus.

      The present study had several limitations. Firstly, some parameters including the latent period and rate of infection among those in contact with a person with infection were obtained from the modelling studies of COVID-19 [6, 11, 12], and consequently may revise the results. Secondly, we used a deterministic model, and can’t evaluate the uncertainty of these estimates, which is an inherent feature and missed under current analysis. However, allowing a search of different plausible values of these parameters through this model simulation approach, ensures the reliable parameter estimates and able to mimic the future dynamics of the number of infected individuals, which is much smaller than the total population [13]. Thirdly, we did not consider transmission that occurred before symptom onset and did not account for subclinical infection.

      Our study has a number of limitations. First, in order to investigate public response rates in the immediate aftermath of the major public health crisis, we shortened our survey questionnaire and chose to use random digital dialing with quota sampling to obtain demographically representative samples for both selected cities. We deliberately selected out times of handwashing as a key behavior measure, although it is widely discussed in the literature. Because people have largely reduced going out during the extended national holidays while embracing remote work, resulting in less times of handwashing than in usual days, which makes this measure less valid. Second, we asked respondents to recall some of their behaviors in usual days before December 2019. Their answers might suffer recall bias.

      Even though this study included a large number of patients from a tertiary teaching hospital in Wuhan, there are several limitations. First, this was an observational study, which may lead to underestimate of AKI or erroneous associations. However, the large number of COVID-19 case in this study may minimize the potential for bias. Second, although we attempted to adjust for many confounders, there may exist confounders either unmeasured or unknown that could explain our observed results. Third, the clinic data of patient after discharge is lacking, so we could not assess the effect of COVID-19 on long-term outcome. The further impact of COVID-19 on patients’ kidney function, especially the incidence of chronic kidney disease in these patients should be the focus of future research.

      Nevertheless, several limitations should be considered. First, our analyses were based on public summary data with a lack of individual level of time to death or cure, characteristics at baseline, such as age, gender and chronic disease status. Therefore, the heterogeneity of CFR among the subgroups is not able to be investigated. Neither is it easy to find the most susceptible population of COVID-19 to whom better protections should be provided. However, previous studies have found that males older than 65 years with multiple comorbidities such as cardiovascular diseases are the most vulnerable population than others, suffering with both the highest incidence of confirmed patients and the highest CFR [8-10]. Second, currently in our study, it is difficult to adjust the influence of the lag of the real case numbers resulting from insufficient medical resources in Hubei Province. With the development of the epidemic, this lag will be alleviated and then we can get a more precise idea of the severity of this COVID-19 epidemic.

      Results from LimitationRecognizer: We detected the following sentences addressing limitations in the study:
      This current study has several limitations that should be considered. The first pertains to the cross-sectional nature of the study. Thus, it cannot be used to infer causality. Second, the responses were based on self-report and may be subject to self-reporting bias and a tendency to report socially desirable responses. Therefore, the results should be interpreted with caution. Third, the snowballing method used in this study can lead to selection bias. Nevertheless, the demographic distributions of our study population resembles of the general population in Hubei province. Despite these limitations, the study data contributes tremendously to understanding of public responses, especially now that the epidemic is growing exponentially. In conclusion, bridging the trust gaps between the public and local authorities in the epicentres is crucial. It is of utmost urgency to carry out public health interventions to reach out to individuals with poor adherence to preventive measures and who are reluctant to seek conventional medical care. Considering the extremely contagious nature of the 2019-nCoV, a slight incompliance by even a small portion of the population may have grave consequences and contribute to the continued exponential increase of the outbreak cases.

      Therefore, thoroughly mixing and homogenization of sputum samples might be important factors to obtain reliable test results.[8] This study has several limitations. First, only 52 patients with suspected COVID-19 were included, and further studies were needed to investigate the observation in a larger group of patients. Second, our study only involved throat swabs and sputum samples, and expand discussions of bronchoalveolar lavage fluid and blood samples are necessary in the future. Although sputum is more sensitive than throat swabs for 2019-nCoV detection, the use of sputum may be limited because not all patients with COVID-19 produce sputum, especially elderly patients. Therefore, if a sputum sample is available, it might be a rather reliable specimen for nucleic acid detection of 2019-nCoV. In conclusion, the detection rates of 2019-nCoV from sputum specimens are significantly higher than those from throat swabs using the qRT-PCR assay. We suggest that sputum would benefit for the detection of novel coronavirus in patients who produce sputum. The results can facilitate the selection of specimens and increase the accuracy of diagnosis of COVID-19.

      There were limitations in our study. First it was a retrospective study including only 27 inpatients, while outpatients and suspected but undiagnosed cases for deficiency of detection kits of 2019-nCoV and potential false negative results were ruled out. Second, not all information was collected because a significant part of patients had not rechecked CT scans. Then, it was pulmonologists, although they are experienced, who evaluated CT images. Finally there was a lack of information regarding interobserver agreement, because the study emphasis on the final consensus interpretation rather than independent reading.

      Results from LimitationRecognizer: We detected the following sentences addressing limitations in the study:
      The approach adopted in this work has several limitations that must be referred to put into perspective the results. The first aspect, is that case fatality rate (CFR) is a feeble measure as it highly depends on the correct number of diagnosed cases and also on the final outcome of the current cases. Since this is an in-progress situation, CFR value is naturally uncertain, which undermines all parameters computed from this value, and naturally, the results obtained herein suffer from this fact. Regarding the CFR value, another question that arose was that the China CDC report enables two ways to compute it. All the observations may be used (1023 deaths in 44672 confirmed cases) or the ones with comorbidities information may be used instead (504 deaths in 20812 confirmed cases). We opted for the latter. Another aspect is the fact that there is neither information about the correct prevalence of gender per age nor about comorbidities per age and gender. To overcome this issue, we assumed homogeneous prevalence, which will increase ORs in some classes while decreasing in others. This approximation has a non-linear impact difficult to foresee, albeit departures from the real case are expected to be small. Moreover, the R routine is prepared to work with complete prevalence information and any user can test it. We have also assumed independence between risk factors but the logistic regression assumes the same. Therefore, the impact is not expected to be significant. Concerning the...

      Results from LimitationRecognizer: We detected the following sentences addressing limitations in the study:
      Our study has several limitations. Firstly, the projection of the temporal trend of an outbreak using the early-stage dataset could be dramatically influenced by the changes in the intervention strategies later on. For example, using data up to March 15, our previous analysis overestimated the epidemic size in U.S as the social distance measures (i.e. quarantine) were implemented starting from March 21. The performance of models used in this work will be continuously improved with data coming in from an ongoing outbreak, thus real-time estimates of key epidemiological parameters can be available before the epidemic fully ends. Secondly, the number of infections estimated might not be comparable across the countries; for example, the number of infections in Germany is not comparable to the number of infections in Italy or China, as the latter did not perform large-scale population-based testing and thus the cases could be more severe. Lastly, the analyses are highly reliant on the reporting criteria and quality of the data. The under-reporting of infection is likely a common scenario in the majority of countries. For example, a recent study showed that the reported number of confirmed positive cases was 50-85-fold lower than the actual number of infections in 3330 people in Santa Clara County, US47. A more realistic and comprehensive analysis could be performed that includes accurate epidemic data and information. In current imperfect situation, our model could still be used f...

      Results from LimitationRecognizer: We detected the following sentences addressing limitations in the study:
      This study has several limitations. First, only 214 patients were studied, which could cause biases in clinical observation. It would be better to include more patients from Wuhan, other cities in China, and even other countries. Second, all data were abstracted from the electronic medical records, certain patients with neurological problem might not be captured if their neurological symptoms were too mild, such as with hypogeusia and hyposmia. Third, because most patients were still hospitalized and information regarding clinical outcomes was unavailable at the time of analysis, it was difficult to assess the effect of these neurologic manifestations on their outcome, and continued observations of the natural history of disease are needed. In conclusion, SARS-CoV-2 may infect nervous system, skeletal muscle as well as respiratory tract. In those with severe infection, neurological involvement is more likely, which includes acute cerebrovascular diseases, conscious disturbance and skeletal muscle injury. Involvement of the nervous system carries a poor prognosis. Their clinical conditions may worsen and patients may die soon. Therefore, for patient with COVID19, physicians should pay close attention to any neurologic manifestations in addition to the symptoms of respiratory system.

      Our study had several limitations. As a single-center, retrospective study of patients mainly from Haidian District in Beijing, the prevalence of COVID-19 in this Fever Clinic was not representative. The sample was small-sized and mostly mild and moderate in severity, which may not reflect the whole picture of the disease. Furthermore, the pathogens causing pneumonia in patients without COVID-19 were not identified, therefore we were unable to evaluate the prevalence of other common viral pneumonias of this season, such as influenza pneumonia and adenoviral pneumonia, making specific comparisons between different viral pneumonias unavailable.

      Results from LimitationRecognizer: We detected the following sentences addressing limitations in the study:
      The present study had some limitations. Most patients were still hospitalized. Only a small proportion of cases were used to evaluate the treatment outcomes. However, from several patients who had been cured, the principal results related to hypokalemia treatment were consistent, which could provide reliable information. Since this life-threatening disease is still ongoing in China and is developing in several countries, we expect our findings can provide timely information about better understanding and treatment of COVID-19. To summarize, the present study has identified the prevailing hypokalemia in patients with COVID-19. The correction of hypokalemia is challenging because of continuous renal loss of potassium resulting from the degradation of ACE2 by the binding of SAR-CoV-2. The end of loss of K+ often indicates a good prognosis and may be a reliable, in-time, and sensitive biomarker that reflects the end of adverse effect on the RAS system by SAR-CoV-2. Due to the possible injury to cardiovascular functions, neurohormonal activation, and other vital organs by hypokalemia, clinicians should pay great attention to hypokalemia and the patients’ response to K+ supplements.

      Results from LimitationRecognizer: We detected the following sentences addressing limitations in the study:
      The study has certain limitations. First, the observational objects are mainly nurses. The reason for this option is that the proportion of nurses in the medical teams for COVID-19 control constitutes more than 70%, such that investigating nurses is representative. Secondly, this study is a descriptive cross-sectional one, which is unable to explore the causal linkage between factors. Therefore, carrying out a longitudinal large-sized intervention study and enrolling clinical doctors and other medical workers, such as technicians, is necessary to further explore the pathogenesis, therapeutic strategies, and mechanisms of VT. In summary, the results suggest that the GP and medical staff suffer from VT. However, the VT of non-front-line medical staff is more serious than that of front-line medical staff. Therefore, early intervention of VT and psychological stress for the GP and medical staff, as well as the transparent announcement of epidemic information can facilitate the psychological treatment and control of COVID-19.

      Results from LimitationRecognizer: We detected the following sentences addressing limitations in the study:
      Our findings have several limitations. First, the size of each household and the primary cases without secondary infections are unknown from original disclosures. This may give biased estimates if we estimate the household reproduction number and secondary attack rate from raw data. Field surveys will be helpful to adjust biases. Second, the information on nosocomial infections is unknown from original disclosures, so that the observation of super-spreading events may be less common from our dataset.

      Results from LimitationRecognizer: We detected the following sentences addressing limitations in the study:
      This study has several limitations. First, it presents data from a limited sample of total pediatric cases of COVID-19. As noted by Sun et al., line list data is available for only a small number of Chinese provinces, while aggregated data on number of cases and mortality is provided by all.5 As such, cases from some provinces, including Hubei which is the center of the initial outbreak, were not able to be included. Cases in this study may also be those in whom the disease was severe enough to seek medical attention or identified by contact tracing, and as such, many minor cases may have been missed and symptomatology data skewed.5 Additionally, crowdsourced data would be less likely to capture mild cases as curated via the applied data collection modalities.5 Missing data was common for many of the included variables. Further efforts should be made to collect follow up data on patient outcomes. Limited data in children with respect to travel history or exposure prevented any estimation of incubation time. Sun et al. reported a median incubation time of 4.5 days [IQR: 3.0.5.5]5, while others using their data and other data sets have reported incubation rates of 5-6 days.21,32–34 In a case series of 10 children, Cai et al. observed a longer incubation than observed in adults, with a mean of 6.5 days (range 2-10 days) from exposure to symptoms.16 Further efforts should be made in the coming weeks to study transmission and estimate incubation time in pediatric patients to impro...

      Results from LimitationRecognizer: We detected the following sentences addressing limitations in the study:
      This study has several limitations. First, only 75 patients with confirmed COVID-19 were included. It would be better to include as many patients as possible to get a more comprehensive understanding of COVID-19. Second, more detailed patient information, particularly treatment strategies and clinical outcomes, was unavailable at the time of analysis. Regarding the inflammatory factors, we only measured IL-6 level changes. Future studies should focus on changes of various pro-inflammatory factors, ie IL-1, which may provide precise target treatment options for different patients. In conclusion, this study provides an early assessment of the clinical and laboratory profiles of COVID-19 patients in Hefei, China. The clinical manifestation of COVID-19 was nonspecific. Specific coronavirus antivirals show proven efficacies in humans are unavailable to date. Antiviral therapy requires a comprehensive and supportive treatment. Targeted therapy should also be determined based on individual clinical manifestations and laboratory indicators.

      Results from Barzooka: We found bar graphs of continuous data. We recommend replacing bar graphs with more informative graphics, as many different datasets can lead to the same bar graph. The actual data may suggest different conclusions from the summary statistics. For more information, please see Weissgerber et al (2015).

      LIMITATIONS: This study has several limitations. First, because of the disease outbreak, we were unable to conduct face-to-face interviews; second, the results are limited by the use of convenience sampling, which could not reflect the overall status of HCWs in China; and third, due to the time constraints, the scale we used is so simple that it can only provide a preliminary screening, further confirmation and intervention are needed.

      Our study has several limitations that should be noted. First, this is a cross-sectional study. All subjects were volunteered to participate in the survey, so there may be subject selection bias. Second, other occupations who directly expose to COVID-19 patients may experience sleep disturbances potentially, such as police and social workers, but our study merely included the medical workers. Third, our questionnaires did not contain sufficient items, such as the potential risk factors for sleep disturbances of fMW, which can provide more information and be used to explore the underlying mechanisms. Forth, our study lacked of interventions and follow-ups, which may show the following changes of sleep disturbances for fMW. In conclusion, our study showed that over half of the fMW had sleep disturbances in the outbreak of COVID-19. fMW had higher prevalence of sleep disturbances and worse sleep quality than non-fMW. And female fMW showed severer sleep disturbances compared to male fMW. Further interventions should be administrated for fMW, aiming to maintain their healthy condition and guarantee their professional performance in the battle against COVID-19. However, further prospective randomized controlled trials are warranted to validate our results.

      Results from LimitationRecognizer: We detected the following sentences addressing limitations in the study:
      This limitation could be overcome if less granular spatial and temporal data becomes available. Secondly, and perhaps more important as it currently represents a scientific challenge, we have assumed that the transmissibility does not change during the whole simulation period. This implies that changes in behavioral patterns of the population are not fully accounted for nor they can be completely disentangled from those associated with travel restrictions. Understanding how to deal with such behavioral changes is key for the development of more realistic descriptions of the large-scale spreading of diseases. Finally, another critical feature of current models that needs to be improved in future research is the use of disease parameters notably R0 that are constant both in time and across populations.

      Results from LimitationRecognizer: We detected the following sentences addressing limitations in the study:
      Our study has some limitations. First, the questionnaires were dispatched non-randomly via WeChat, so a selective-bias exists in our study, and the number of medical staff from Hubei was in a minority (14.26%), which means that our study does not completely reflect the entire mental health picture of Chinese medical staff in quarantine. Second, we did not collect data during the early stages of the epidemic, when anxiety score levels could have been different. A previous study reported that the prevalence of psychological disorders presented differently from the start to the end of the outbreak18. Third, our study used a cross-sectional design that cannot determine causality for factors and outcome. In addition, a comprehensive assessment, including demographic factors, such as years of experience, having children or not and a history of mental disorders, would be beneficial in analyzing potential anxiety factors. However, our study also has some strengths. To our knowledge, this is the first study to assess anxiety levels among medical staff in China during the period of COVID-19, and we used comprehensive data statistical analyses to make our results reliable.

      Results from LimitationRecognizer: We detected the following sentences addressing limitations in the study:
      There were three limitations in this study. First, only 219 patients diagnosed with COVID-19 were included. Second, the unconfirmed suspected cases in the early stages were excluded in the analyses. Some patients were discharged as suspected patients after one negative nucleic acid test. Many patients had a second or third check before being diagnosed. Third, most of the data were from patients’ medical records, with the potential of a few of them not being accurate enough. In conclusion, all people are susceptible to COVID-19, and older males and those with comorbid conditions are more likely to become severe cases. Even though COVID-19 is highly contagious, control measures have proven to be very effective, particularly wearing masks, which could prevent most infections.
