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

      Limitations of the study: A limitation of this investigation is the unknown history of previous CCC exposure of the study participants. Assessment of CCC infection by RT-PCR was not part of the original study design for the study, and would also not have been logistically feasible over the longitudinal course of the study as it would have required frequent nasal swabs of all subjects. Therefore, in the present study, the stability of T cell and antibody responses could not be directly correlated with protection from symptomatic colds and/or infection. Furthermore, our analysis is limited to “steady state” responses in adults, and the evolution of CCC responses in children was not addressed. Additional limitations of this study are the relatively small cohort size investigated. Validation of the results in geographically distinct populations would be desirable to generalize the findings broadly.

      So despite the clear limitations of this analysis we find that it contains useful insight into the patterns and processes of response to repeated waves of COVID-19. Additionally, we note that it is highly likely that multiple variants with different transmission rates were circulating during this period and could have contributed to some of the patterns observed. Unfortunately it is beyond the scope of this work to control for variant patterns, given the available data for this time period but we believe our analysis largely avoids these issues for two reasons. First, there is evidence that the first identified variant of concern (alternatively B.1.1.7 or Alpha) was uncommon in the US until after our study period [33]. Second, much of the problem with spatial patterning of variants comes when directly comparing case counts in two locations at the same time. As we compare locations instead at their respective epidemic peaks within a broad date window we likely sidestep much of this concern. Although much has been written about the relative effectiveness of various NPIs as well as the extent of implementation across the US, many gaps remain in our understanding of how humans responded to the repeated waves of COVID-19 over the past 2 years. We found that the predictors of which communities learn (or don’t learn) to deal with a pandemic tended to shift from county-level demographics to state-level policies over the course of the 2020 COVID-19 pandemic in the US. Although we focu...

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

      Limitations apply to this study; the size of the patient population was limited, patients with CLL testing positive for SARS-CoV-2 at test sites not reported within the EHR may represent less severe CLL, thus causing overrepresentation of patients with more aggressive CLL in this study. Based on epidemiological data from South Africa,17 the incidence of SARS-CoV-2 seems decoupled from the incidences of hospitalization and death upon emergence of the omicron variant, while previous vaccination seems not to protect against infection with the omicron variant of SARS-CoV-2. This study indicate that omicron sublineage BA.2 pose a similar risk of fatal COVID-19 for patients with impaired immune function due to CLL and/or treatment,3,18 with an estimated 30-day OS rate of 77%, as prior variants. Thus, patients above 70 with CLL and one or more comorbidities should be considered for closer monitoring and pre-emptive antiviral therapy upon a positive SARS-CoV-2 test.

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

      Our results have several limitations. First, the sample size is reduced, so we cannot discard the existence of additional clusters with other underlying pathogenetic mechanisms, or that different clustering parameters or strategies may yield different results. However, unbiased p-values associated to the identified clusters were high, and the results confirmed in a validation cohort, thus suggesting a robust classification. Second, cell populations were estimated by deconvolution of the bulk transcriptome and should be confirmed using single cell RNA seq or flow cytometry. Finally, it is unclear if applied treatments can modify the expression of the genes used for clustering, although we did not observe differences in the prescribed treatments between groups. Moreover, it is unclear if therapeutic immunomodulation may impact this transcriptomic profile or, ultimately, outcomes. In summary, our results show that transcriptomic clustering using peripheral blood RNA at ICU admission allows the identification of two groups of critically-ill COVID-19 with different immune profile and outcome. These findings could be useful for risk stratification of these patients and help to identify specific profiles that could benefit from personalized treatments aimed to modulate the inflammatory response or its consequences.

      Despite these limitations, analysis of this dataset correctly revealed the improvements in COVID-19 survival over the first 6–8 months of the pandemic as well as the established lower risk of death for women relative to men.24–26 While the overall CFR ratios comparing minorities to Whites were smaller than for the CTP dataset, the basic conclusion is the same. Finally, though we found evidence of racial/ethnic disparities in CFR among those under age 65, our study was also intended to highlight the limitations in data available on race/ethnicity of COVID-19 cases and deaths at the national level. Specifically, using information on the joint distribution of race/ethnicity and age (as available in the CDC dataset only) reveals an entirely different understanding than when not using it. Chowkwanyun and Reed argue convincingly that while identifying racial/ethnic disparities in COVID-19 is important, a lack of context as provided by richer data “can perpetuate harmful myths and misunderstandings that actually undermine the goal of eliminating health inequities.”27 Acquiring such data from representative samples of the national population is sorely needed.

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

      We acknowledge several limitations in our analyses. Even with data from multiple countries that had diverse sets of interventions in place, inferring NPI effects still remained a challenging task. First, the Rt estimation was based on epidemiological parameters that are only known with uncertainty, due to many mild or asymptomatic cases that make it difficult to model the timing for the onset of symptoms and serial interval distributions. On top of that, Rt also relies on the data of confirmed cases, which were generally unreliable in the early days of the pandemic due to lack of testing availability and not-established documentation practices. To account for this, we began our analysis at each country’s 100th case. Secondly, the data are retrospective and observational, meaning that unobserved factors could confound the results. Third, we were unable to assess the effect of lifting interventions. Since the NPI events in WNTRAC are automatically extracted from Wikipedia articles, which report the introduction of NPIs more frequently than their relaxation, the number of lifting events documented in the database did not have enough statistical power for causal inference. Yet, we believe we set the ground for a thorough analysis of NPIs and we were able to draw conclusions regarding the effect different NPIs had on the pandemic spread. Future work can assess the causal effect of the post-vaccine newly defined NPIs where health certificate notions were introduced in somewhat simi...

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

      A limitation of our study is the lack of direct consideration of some of the surrounding regions, which may have influenced COVID-19 dynamics near the Saxon-Czech border, notably Poland to the far east and the German states of Bavaria and Thuringia to the west. The unavailability of municipality-scale data from these regions precluded their consideration in our analysis. This issue manifests itself in the lower pseudo R2 values for the models and higher p-values on the border term that tend to occur on the outer edges of our study area. This is specifically relevant for the regions of Görlitz in the east and Cheb / Plauen in the west. Outside of these outlying regions, we are confident that our analysis accurately quantifies disease import potential from surrounding regions and provides reliable results. This robustness is further evidenced by the agreement between our core model-based analysis and the confirmatory analyses based on timing differences and on Granger causality. Our index of virus import is based on a comparison of the case increase in a focal municipality with the relative number of cases in the neighboring municipalities one week earlier. Calculation of this index therefore requires determining appropriate values for neighborhood size, time lag, and relative weightings of contributions with the neighborhood. While our selection of these parameters was guided by literature review and knowledge gained via exploratory analysis, we tested the robustness of our re...

      Our study has some limitations. We did not evaluate the effects of gender and age on antibodies responses in association with COVID-19 severity nor did we test to what extent comorbidities may impact the immune response against SARS-CoV-2. Further longitudinal studies are needed to monitor how the immune responses of patients with COVID-19 evolve over time in order to assess the immune signatures that may herald either recovery or aggravation.

      However, this model is not without limitations. It has been established that severe COVID-19 disease is associated with one or more co-morbidities (Zhou et al., 2020) which is not readily reproducible in animals, representing a challenge in developing models that fully represent the more severe manifestation of the disease. Our findings illustrate that weight loss was more pronounced and recovery incomplete in aged animals infected with the Delta variant compared to young animals. These findings are consistent with a previous study comparing infection with an early variant of SARS-CoV-2 (BetaCoV/Germany/BavPat1/2020) in aged and young Syrian hamsters (Osterrieder et al., 2020) where weight loss was more distinct in older animals. Infection with Omicron did not result in weight loss in animals in either cohort. Omicron replicated to similar levels as Delta in the upper respiratory tract (nasal turbinates and trachea) with a trend towards decreased viral load in the lower respiratory tract (lungs) during acute disease (3 DPI), with no significant differences in tissue viral loads of aged versus young animals for either variant. In contrast, histopathologic differences were clear among the Omicron and Delta variants in both the nasal passages and lungs. Specifically, severe necrosis was observed acutely (3 DPI) in the OE of Delta-infected animals, while this phenotype was either absent or mild and segmental in Omicron-infected animals regardless of age. Acute Omicron infection (...

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

      Limitations include the small number of studies with viral culture and serial viral load estimates among transplant patients, high variability in study design and reporting and impossibility to pool results due to the well-known variability in sensitivity across essays21. Case series are conventionally considered low in the evidence hierarchy, as they may entail inherent bias in the selection of study participants and therefore have limited generalisability; however, here they are essential in providing the detailed reports needed for this unusual patient group. The case reports included here comprise some of the most detailed longitudinal reports of this patient group for whom data are needed. The evidence base is limited, however, by heterogeneous design and reporting within the studies with, for example, different observation windows for reporting of viral burden and culturability or clinical characteristics of patients. In addition to providing appropriate care for the individual patient, ongoing transmission of SARS-CoV-2 is a concern, and immunosuppressed individuals may pose a challenge by experiencing prolonged carriage of the virus that could lead to forward transmission. Based on our findings we would offer the following general guidance to clinicians: Physicians who are experienced with these immunosuppressed patient populations should work with public health to direct their isolation and quarantine requirements. Patients with immunosuppressive treatment following ...

      This result comes with the caveat that we included only 6 class III patients for CPV analysis (39). Decreased GMVs in class II/III patients were associated with overexpression of the immune checkpoint protein PD-L1. Potentially, PD-L1 blockade would counteract this immune dysregulation and their associated structural brain changes (40). Conversely, HGF, reported to mediate tissue-regenerative responses in COVID-19-induced lung damage (8), might serve as a counter-regulatory factor promoting neuroregeneration upon neuronal damage. In contrast, lower plasma levels of neuroprotective GDF-8 (20) and BMP-4 (21), were associated with class II/III-related GMV loss, emphasizing the impact of COVID-19-induced soluble factors on distinct brain regions. Taken together, these GMV-associated CSF/plasma parameters may serve as targets to prevent long-term Neuro-COVID.

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

      However, these limitations are non-differential and unlikely to bias the comparison of Ag-RDT performance between Delta and Omicron variants. Furthermore, the data collected from this study illustrates performance of Ag-RDT self-collected at home, which is a different setting than proctored or on-site administration of Ag-RDT with guidance from trained individuals or when tests are performed by health care professionals. Early epidemiologic studies have shown decreased and delayed sensitivity of Ag-RDT in detecting the Omicron variant in comparison to saliva RT-PCR testing. Notably, in a pre-print, Adamson et al. reported that among 28 people with a positive saliva RT-PCR test with suspected Omicron variant infection and CT value < 29, none tested positive on nasal Ag-RDT within 24 hours.10 Additionally, they reported a median lag of 3 days from saliva RT-PCR positivity to a positive Ag-RDT from nasal swab. By contrast, among the infections where initial nasal RT-PCR+ CT value was lower than 30, our study found that Ag-RDT was positive within 48 hours in 33 out of the 34 instances. In the sole case where Ag-RDT+ was not recorded within 24 hours of the initial RT-PCR+ with a CT value < 30, a subsequent Ag-RDT was not performed. We also found a sensitivity of 87.2% with Ag-RDT performed on same-day as RT-PCR+ with CT count < 30 among individuals infected with the Omicron variant, which is similar to a separate report that evaluated similar performance among predominantly sympto...

      Limitations: Our study has several limitations. According to our knowledge, this is the first study that assesses the validity of the “COVID Stress Scales”. We found that reliability and validity of the scale was excellent but further studies in different populations and settings should test the psychometric properties of the scale. Also, our sample comprised 200 participants, thus studies with larger and more representative samples could add more information regarding the “COVID Stress Scales”. More sophisticated analysis such as confirmatory factor analysis could be applied to confirm or not our results.

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

      As stated above, a limitation of this study is given by the fact that we assume that the normal flu and the COVID-19 pandemic outbreak have the same trend. As a future perspective, it should be investigated the possibility to link the skewness to the number of ICU hospitalized patients, in order to assess the restriction effectiveness in saving lives.

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

      The observational nature of the population study presents limitations to consider. There is a confounding factor between age and time of vaccination, namely the first to receive vaccination were front-line workers and the elderly. Further, the vaccine received correlates with age and gender. For the analyses of booster vaccinations the group sizes differ, which is accounted for in the statistical analysis but selection bias could generate statistical artifacts. The key strength of this study is the complete nationwide coverage, in terms of the high fraction of the population vaccinated, the sheer number of PCR tests conducted and sequencing of viral isolates. The mixed vaccination approach in Iceland provided a unique opportunity to investigate the effects of various vaccination schedules and booster combinations within a single population. Our data clearly demonstrate and confirm the major benefit of mRNA booster vaccinations against SARS-CoV-2 infections, both against the delta and omicron VOCs, regardless of the vaccine type given in the primary series. We observe a great increase in antibody level and inhibitory activity, consistent with our estimates of the effectiveness of protection against SARS-CoV-2 infections by mRNA booster vaccinations at a population level.

      There are a few limitations of this study, first, the design is not randomized, double blinded, but an external comparison, which will compromise the level of evidence. Second, the cell-medicated immunity was not included in the comparative immunogenicity profile. Third, other characterizations that are of interests, including the waning immunity of both vaccines, the cross-reactivity against Variants of Concern (VoCs), were not explored. The data presented in the study showed that it is reasonably likely that the vaccine efficacy of MVC-COV1901 is similar or superior to that of AZ. The data could be used in support of further vaccine development and regulatory approval.

      Study limitation: In line with the search period in this review, identified documents were limited to the period before October 2021. Consistent with the practice for rapid reviews (35) we focused on a specific segment of the food industry, and we adapted the search methodology to enable a rapid review process. Specifically, we thoroughly searched the CDC, OSHA, and FDA websites for food manufacturing and processing industry relevant COVID-19 information because we presumed that these three institutions are the most prominent government authorities relied on for guidance during the pandemic in the USA. Since the search methodology was not intended to provide an exhaustive review of all documents about COVID-19 mitigation ever published on the internet, relevant documents published by other government agencies and the corresponding additional mitigation strategies might have been missed. To address this, we expanded the search process with snowballing and identified a few additional documents in an effort to reduce the potential bias associated with the search methodology.

      Limitation: Modeling is one of the most powerful tools that give intuitive effects when multiple factors act together. No model is perfect. Models are always simplifications of the real world. No models are perfect; there are some shortcomings in it. Proposed model also has some limitations, which are as follows: Our system of differential equations is very sensitive to initial parameters. We have to very careful while given the initial parameters. Small changes in parameters can cause a massive difference in results. Our present manuscript has especially focused on severe cases and death cases. We have consented the severe cases that do not get treatment in the critical compartment. We have considered recovered cases not infected again in the future. R0 value cannot be increased; it either decreases or remains constant. We have assumed that the cases that have been recovered will be immunized, meaning that they will not be infected again.

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

      Several limitations exist in the mechanistic literature we identified: i) little direct empiric evidence was available to support or refute the proposed hypotheses; where direct empiric evidence was available, it often derived from case reports or small series, ii) when assessing laboratory findings in case reports/series/retrospective studies, it is not clear whether any differences seen (e.g., increases in NK cells, autoantibodies) reflect a causal pathological immune response or reactive adaptive responses to the myocardial inflammation, iii) the emergence of new studies refuting some of the proposed mechanisms; for example, articles stating no reports of eosinophilia, are out-dated due to reports finding evidence of this, iv) there has been a lack of invasive investigations (e.g., biopsy, tissue morphology, special studies to detect injury, immune activity, virus, etc.) given the typically mild course of the clinical conditions observed, and v) it is difficult to confirm a causal link; for example, an important proportion of cases observed or reported may not be vaccine-related and this will contribute to the heterogeneity of presentations, clinical characteristics, and resulting hypotheses. Choi et al.87 described a fatal case of myocarditis after mRNA vaccination and compared the case to another fatality reported by Verma et al.69 both of which had comprehensive clinicopathological analysis. The two cases were remarkably different, suggesting “that myocarditis after COV...

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

      This study has several limitations. First, it is the absence of a randomized control group completing the homologous Convidecia scheme. Although we select two extend controls receiving homologous immunization of Convidecia following a 0-56 days regimen and 0-6 months regimen, which are both comparable with the cohorts receiving heterologous immunization between Convidecia and ZF001 in baseline characteristics, there may be some potential bias. As an immunogenicity and reactogenicity study, we do not know whether the immune responses observed in our study will result in better effectiveness, and it is needed to be confirmed in real-world studies. Additionally, we are unable, at this point, to determine whether higher antibody titers measured at 14 days post boost immunization will result in a more sustained elevation of antibodies, and this will be assessed at 6 moths post 2nd boost vaccination. Lastly, the recently emerged SARS-CoV-2 Omicron variants of concern is quickly rising in worldwide and raised concerns about the effectiveness of available vaccines due to multiple amino acid mutations in the spike protein(31). Preliminary studies indicated that the neutralizing activity of plasma from individuals receiving prime COVID-19 vaccination from different platforms is severely reduced against Omicron variant(32, 33). In this study, the neutralizing activity of heterologous immunization with Convidecia and ZF001 against Omicron is not tested. In conclusion, our study shows tha...

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

      Given these limitations, mixture models have been proposed19 and used previously to perform inference on serological data20–22. A major strength of these approaches is that they infer seropositivity using the distribution of raw antibody values in the population, obviating the need for a strict, binary cut-off. In doing so, these models reduce measurement error from equivocal assay results, and explicitly account for the uncertainty arising from heterogeneity in antibody response between individuals. In this case, use of the mixture model markedly improved the agreement between the assays. In addition to identifying the burden of infection, serosurveys are also used to identify factors associated with infection to plan appropriate interventions to curb transmission. Due to the association between age, severity, and antibody response, as well as the association between demographic factors, the timing of infection and subsequent waning, a risk factor analysis based on manufacturer’s cut-offs produced erroneous results based on anti-N IgG seropositivity, including a positive association between improved ventilation and seropositivity and higher seropositivity among individuals aged ≥50 years. On the other hand, the mixture model identified the same risk factors for the two assays by explicitly accounting for varying antibody response by age and time of sample collection. Due to the waning of measured antibody levels, factors associated with seroprevalence could be associated wit...

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

      It should be noted there were some limitations in genome quality and coverage that may have resulted in failure to detect additional mutations that were present. All Ontario WTD clade samples (including the associated human case) had missing terminal domains and contained internal regions with no or low coverage when sequenced using the ARTIC v4 amplicon scheme. This is a widespread issue that may explain the rarity of the 3’ proximal ORF10:L37F in GISAID. Significantly in our samples this meant there was no or <10x coverage in all 5 WTD sequences from ∼27000-27177 (dropout of ARTICv4 amplicons 90-91) which includes regions of the M gene. However, by combining the ARTIC v4 sequencing with additional sequencing using probe-based enrichment we were able to compensate for this dropout and generate high coverage and completeness (<100 positions with no coverage in all WTD and <100 positions with <10X coverage in 3/5 WTD genomes; see Table S3). The neutral non-synonymous to synonymous mutation ratio (dN/dS ∼ 1) and evenly distributed mutations in the WTD lineage contrasts with the signatures of strong selection in the equivalently divergent Omicron VOC (dN/dS ∼6 and accumulation of spike mutations). In combination with the most recent common ancestor being phylogenetically distant and dating from 2020, we infer that the WTD lineage likely diverged in 2020 and has been maintained in wildlife under relatively neutral selection since that time. It is possible that the absence of pre-...

      As well as false positives and false negatives on the assay, already discussed, limitations of the SAPRIS-SERO cohort include ageing of the sample and selective attrition by education, income and self-rated health. The list of symptoms reported is also limited. With REACT, SAPRIS-SERO is one of only two large-scale population-based studies, including those non-infected, of persistent symptoms after COVID-19. These provide an essential complement to non-probability surveys, positive test cohorts and numerous smaller-scale studies of Long Covid, often in hospitalised patients7, especially as Long Covid is often reported after mild initial disease8. Although clustering of symptoms was not analysed, the SAPRIS-SERO findings are suggestive of three clusters: one with anosmia, a second with other respiratory tract symptoms: chest pain, breathing difficulties and cough, and a third with symptoms that might be related to chronic fatigue, malaise or postural issues. These findings are consistent with those reported in a preprint from REACT2. Symptoms persisting for 12 weeks identified by REACT fell into two clusters, a “tiredness cluster” experiencing high prevalence of tiredness, co-occurring with muscle aches, difficulty sleeping and shortness of breath, and a “respiratory cluster” experiencing high prevalence of respiratory symptoms including shortness of breath, tight chest and chest pain. Similar associations of persistent symptoms with test positivity were also reported in a con...

      This study has several limitations. The samples selected for sequencing only contained Ct values below 30, as it is difficult to sequence very low viral load samples. The sex of individual positive cases was missing, and only total positive cases for each month were considered. The vaccine status of positive cases in the community was unknown and therefore was not considered in the Ct value study. Infected inbound passenger individuals with either 1 or 2 doses of vaccine were categorised in one group. We compared the median Ct value of the summer outbreak to winter; however, the community’s variants during summer can not be confirmed. While the dominant variant present during winter in the UK is the Alpha variant, this can not be confirmed as no sequencing has been carried out on samples during that time.

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

      Admittedly, the current study has limitations. Specifically, we did not measure the levels of IgA as an indicator of mucosal immunity in the nasal, or lung tissues, and we did not investigate the homing of T- and B-cells to mucosal tissues. We also did not test whether using IN as a primary series of vaccination (as in the previously referred IN ChAdOx1 nCoV-19 study) can induce the same level of immunity and protection as seen when using IN as a booster. Detection of subgenomic RNA should be done in the future studies to better corroborate the TCID50 live virus count with viral RNA titer as genomic RNA can detect RNA from both live and dead virus, as well as viral RNAs released from dead cells, whereas subgenomic RNAs are only found in actively replicating cells but not packaged in virions39. The original Wuhan and other variants of SARS-CoV-2 have been replaced by the circulating Omicron and Delta variants9 and most likely the virus will continue to evolve and produce new VoCs. The outcomes of IN vaccination with MVC-COV1901 adjuvanted with NE01 against VoCs was not investigated in this study. However, our previous data have shown that administration of booster dose of MVC-COV1901 of either wildtype S-2P or Beta variant of S-2P could confer protection against Delta variant challenge in hamsters40. In addition, three doses of MVC-COV1901 also improved immunogenicity against VoCs compared to two doses of MVC-COV1901 in a clinical trial41. Therefore, it is reasonable to assume...

      Limitations of this work include that it is specific to Veterans, a largely older male cohort, and results may not be generalizable to other populations. Evaluation of Veteran population is critical, however, given that these sex and age limitations also are known associations for COVID-19 infection. Our study spanned the course of the COVID-19 pandemic since its beginning in our region, and although triage algorithms in our hospital system did not significantly change over this time period, our study encompasses both pre- and post-vaccination time periods. We therefore analyzed outcomes in fully vaccinated Veterans and compared to those among unvaccinated. We were only able to record hospitalizations within the VA system and did not have results if Veterans were seen at outside hospitals. Furthermore, we are limited by the retrospective nature of our review, and analysis via ICD codes may have missed diagnoses due to incorrect or inaccurate coding. We did not have data on patients who did not test positive for COVID-19; future work would report COVID-19 positivity based on vaccine status/type. Post-vaccine hospitalizations had a shorter time to accumulate, and future studies should assess how time-based factors (including waves of the virus and likelihood of being hospitalized or infected over time) as well as vaccine uptake over time affect outcomes. Our study’s strengths include its comprehensive inclusion of all Veterans in New England, large study size, and novel analysi...

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

      This study has some important limitations. The main limitation of every observational SARS-CoV-2 study is a potential bias stemming from healthcare related behavior as it pertains to PCR testing. This issue has been discussed in previous studies as well,7,11,19 and was more of a concern during the past months, in light of changing testing policies in Israel during the Omicron surge, where an overwhelming numbers of infected individuals did not allow the same test-for-all policy, implemented in previous waves. The test-negative design, which does not assume that a lack of a positive test equals a negative test and somewhat adjusts for testing volume, attempts to better mitigate this bias and is the reason we chose this method for this analysis., especially Additionally, the August 2021 vaccinees, who served as the comparison group in the main analysis were generally older and correspondingly sicker. This limitation has also been discussed in previous COVID research, as vaccination rollout generally prioritized chronically ill individuals. Nonetheless, our matching and adjustment approach renders residual confounding by indication less likely. Lastly, as the Omicron variant was the dominant variant in Israel during the analysis, the waning effect against other strains could not be evaluated. This could explain that in our secondary analysis of the marginal effectiveness, the additional benefit gained one month after inoculation was lower than the VE demonstrated in the same tim...

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

      However, the limitation of the meagre number of partially vaccinated patients (n=23) in this study should be noted before drawing any conclusion. The third mutation in orf1a (T3255I) is present in the nsp4 protein, whose function is to produce double-membrane vesicles required to form a replication-transcription complex [33]. This mutation may play a role in reducing the formation of active replication-transcription complexes in the host cell, in turn reducing the viral load and explaining its association with the milder disease form. In contrast, another mutation in the nucleocapsid protein (N: R203M) was observed to associate with the milder form of the disease (Fig. 5). It has already been reported that the N: R203M mutation leads to increased packaging of the viral RNA genome producing a 50-fold higher viral load [34]. The association of the N: R203M mutation with milder disease could possibly explain the increase in viral load due to an increase in variant transmission fitness, leading to a tradeoff with disease severity. The increase in the frequency of the mutations orf1a (T3255I) (leading to a potential decrease in viral load) and N: R203M (leading to a possible increase in viral load) in the recent Delta variants and their association with milder disease indicates their significant role in determining the transmission fitness of the newer variants and tradeoff with disease severity. A continued global effort towards ever expanding viral genome sequencing will help to...

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

      The main limitations of the study are the low response rate of cases and controls and the use of an online questionnaire, which may have resulted in selection biases towards younger participants, more comfortable with internet and French language. Second, the underrepresentation of some professional categories impaired subgroup analyses, despite specific occupational exposures, e.g., physiotherapists or speech therapists. Third, the data used were relied upon HCW declarations, potentially influenced by social desirability or memorization bias. Fourth, we did not rule out past or current asymptomatic infections among controls [28]. Nevertheless, our population was composed of HCWs, more likely to recognize COVID-19 symptoms and with 3–5-fold higher access to tests than the general population, then lowering the risk of classification bias [1]. Finally, the study took place between April and July 2021, during the third COVID-19 wave in France. HCWs might have been better prepared and protected than during the first wave, especially regarding PPE, and the Delta and Omicron variants emerged in France after the end of the study period. Omicron transmissibility is much higher than previous variants, which may affect the relative weights of transmission sources and appropriate PPE [29]. In conclusion, our study results indicated that, for HCWs, COVID-19 patient-facing activities increased the risk of getting infected, while colleague-related and mostly community exposures appear to r...

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

      Based on previous experience from viruses such as HPV, some initial guidelines had recommended limitation of laparoscopy procedures as it may carry the risk of surgical staff contamination (67). However, with employment of proper ultrafiltration and protection methods, studies not following this recommendation did not observe such side effect (29,54) Moreover, recent guidelines recommended conservative treatment of uncomplicated appendicitis as a safe option with low failure rate especially in the COVID -19 pandemic (68,69). Prioritization of the patients, ICU preserving techniques, laparotomy with regional instead of general anesthesia (42,45) more extensive use of robotic surgery (70), and distant/home patient monitoring and follow-up were put into test. Despite all limitations, it seems that the means and measures for lowering post-operative complications are effective. m-RNA vaccines have been created for COVID -19 offering hope for HIV prevention (71). Likewise, we hope development and employment of these new strategies in healthcare and surgery could lead to positive effect not only during pandemics but also in the future practice. Studies in the available literature confirmed a decrease in admission rates (21,22,24,32) which may be a result of patients’ reluctancy to admission in fear of COVID -19. Prognostic factors and corresponding indices such as complications at presentation (e.g., perforation, abscess, etc.), Mannheim Peritonitis Index, American Association for t...

      Although RT-PCR with purified RNA is the gold standard to confirm SARS-CoV-2 infection, a major limitation is its long turnaround time, especially outside of larger urban centers, compromising test efficacy in terms of timely self-isolation and contact tracing. Rapid and economical PoC tests for SARS-CoV-2, together with masking and social distancing, are necessary to stop community transmission of the disease [51, 52]. With this in mind and recognizing that minimum sample manipulation is essential for PoC tests [15], we next optimized RT-LAMP for raw Canadian NP swab samples without RNA extraction. The best condition used multiplexed Gene E1 and ORF1a primers and supplementation with 0.5M betaine and 0.25% Igepal CA-630. In < 32 mins, the optimized RT-LAMP detected samples with Ct ≤ 25 (viral load ≥ 7.9 × 106 copies/mL) with 100% sensitivity, samples with 25 < Ct ≤ 27.2 (viral load: 2.6 × 106 - 7.9 × 106 copies/mL) with 80% sensitivity and samples with 27.2 < Ct ≤ 29.2 (viral load: 5.0 × 105 - 2.0 × 106 copies/mL) with 31.8%. However, this direct test failed to detect SARS-CoV-2 in samples with Ct ≥ 30 (viral load ≤ 3.2 × 105 copies/mL). For all the samples, the RT-LAMP detected human ACTB in less than 30 minutes. Detection of high titer samples was also demonstrated in labs in Colombia and Ecuador. In the former, an initial survey of 41 negative and 118 positive selected samples defined a cutoff TTR of 25 minutes, then a simulation detection test with 88 positive and 120 ne...

      This study has several limitations. First, although the characteristics of the data-providing hospitals were varied, the data collection relied on the voluntary participation of the hospitals. This may introduce selection bias and limit the generalizability of our findings. Second, the DPC/PDPS data of the study population did not include risk scores of ICU patient severity, such as SOFA or APACHE Ⅱ scores. Although the prediction performance was good in our study, the risk was adjusted in different ways compared to other studies[7, 8]. Third, data about the demand for treatments is not available. As mentioned in the previous section, it is difficult to distinguish between the suppression of required treatments and a decline in the demand for treatments. Further research is warranted, including an investigation of the trend in disease volumes in the general population.

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

      Strengths and Limitations: Our strengths include our enrollment of patients within the Emergency Department during acute presentation of the disease, prospective data collection, use of metagenomic sequencing, and use of two independent analysis techniques to verify our results. The enrollment and collection of samples within the Emergency Department has allowed us to sample the microbiome of patients early in disease course before medical intervention. We excluded any patients with self-reported symptoms longer than 14 days at time of collection to focus our analysis on the acute phase of the COVID-19. Our characterization of the oropharyngeal microbiome shows us features that can be predictive of disease course and potentially a target for therapeutics. In addition, the use of metagenomic sequencing for microbiome characterization has enabled us to determine what bacterial metabolic pathways could potentially affect disease course as opposed to just genus-level information provided by 16S rRNA sequencing. Although some microbiome features were also associated with age by MaAsLin2, these represent independent associations and would have been corrected for when determining associations with the need for respiratory support. Weaknesses of this study include a single time-point in microbiome sampling from a single center and enrollment of a limiting number of patients presenting with acute COVID-19 early in the disease course. Single time-point sampling does not allow observati...

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

      [56] We would highlight several key limitations in this work. First, the time between SARS-CoV-2 infection/COVID-19 hospitalizations and blood cell measurements were variable among individuals and different in UKB. We have attempted to account for this, but also emphasize that external factors (diseases, diet changes, etc) may alter hematopoiesis and measured blood cell counts, in contrast to genetic factors associated with these traits, where alleles are assigned at birth. Second, the measures we examined here are those from readily obtained peripheral blood cell counts, but there are other interesting hematological measures which are less frequently assessed in large populations. For example, specific lymphocyte subsets (such as naïve or memory cells) may be relevant to COVID-19 but could not be assessed here. Third, the power of MR analysis is still limited for COVID-19 genetics, even with the coordinating efforts of the HGI meta-analysis. We conducted a MR power analysis at (α = 0.05/87) using the case and control counts from the HGI meta-analysis and the minimum and maximum estimated heritability from the LD Score Regression analysis for our blood cell traits (h2 range: 0.04 -0.3, Supplementary Figure 1). The limited heritability explained by the variants identified in the HGI meta-analyses causes challenges in using both genetic correlation and MR analysis methods. There is a more up to date version of the HGI meta-analysis which includes more samples (Release 6 [57]), ...

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

      A limitation of the study is that reported COVID-19 cases and deaths and samples used for genomic surveillance were based on the KMOH surveillance, and which likely underestimated the extent of the pandemic at any one time. Nonetheless, surveillance plays a critical role in monitoring trends and control of global pandemics. In conclusion, the emergence of Alpha, Delta, and Omicron VoCs was a turning point that resulted in widespread and higher SARS-CoV-2 infections across the country, with varying fatality rates. Enhanced genomic and molecular surveillance for SARS-CoV-2 in developing countries can support early detection of VoCs and guide public health control measures such application of mitigation measures.

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

      The model has some limitations. The first one is that the system is assumed to be closed and protected from the injection of new cases from abroad. This circumstance is not fully justified, specially in the summer period, when the touristic flows increase. However, according to data published by ISTAT (National Institute of Statistics), even if the international tourist flow in 2021 was in recovery with respect to the year 2020 (+22, 3%), it was still far from the levels of 2019 (−38, 4%) [56]. The extension of the model to open system is left to future work. Secondly, it has been shown that the vaccine efficacy to protect against severe infections is higher than the efficacy against mild or asymptomatic infection. Our model doesn’t distinguish the symptomatic cases according to the severity of symptoms, being pauci, mild and severe symptomatic cases, as well as hospitalized cases, all included in the symptomatic compartment. It would be interesting to rearrange the model in order to measure differences in hospitalization and severity of symptoms between vaccinated and unvaccinated individuals. However this would involve the introduction of new compartments into the model, circumstance that we avoided in order to keep the model simpler in the present paper. In [57] authors study the attenuation of antibody titres after the second dose, showing that the most important factor in determining the waning immunity is sex, age and smoking. Our model does not take into account the ag...

      Strengths and limitations: The main strengths of the present study is its considerable size and the use of a large time-matched control population, making it possible to compare post-acute symptoms among COVID-19 cases and the background population represented by the control group. In addition, we were able to adjust for important confounders, including comorbidity. This allowed us to calculate adjusted risk difference measures for each acute and post-acute symptom, thus ‘deducting’ the general morbidity in the population, including any general health effects that may have been caused by the lock-down or other societal restrictions put in place as part of the epidemic control. The main limitations of the study are the self-reporting of symptoms and the participation rate. With little over 1/3 of the invitees choosing to participate, we cannot rule out participation bias. The motivation for participation could be higher among those experiencing post-acute symptoms, but on the other hand, those with very severe symptoms might not have had the energy to participate. Still, response rates among test-positives and –negatives were similar. However, because of the size of the study and the marked risk differences between the case- and control groups, we believe that our results are valid. The current study does not include patient register data, other than data used for calculation of the Charlson comorbidity index scores and defining hospitalizations, meaning that we were not able ...

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

      This study had some limitations, including the fact that we used two sampling schemes, as one goal was to ensure we were tracking active cases of SGTF for proper case and contact isolation, and the second was to sequence more cases to gain a better understanding of transmission. Moreover, it was not possible to compare our results to other sequencing data within the county or neighboring counties as no data were available on GISAID. Due to inadequacies of SARS-CoV-2 genomic surveillance in many places across the US, our estimates of introductions of Gamma variant to the campus may be biased toward states that had higher sequencing effort and enhanced genomic surveillance. Indeed, there is substantial variation by U.S. state in the number of genomes deposited in the GISAID database (total n=714,368 through June 2021 with assigned U.S. state origin) (Supplementary Table 2). Through June 2021, the median number of total genome sequences deposited for U.S. states was 6910.5, with a mean of 14,287 and with a range of 732 (South Dakota) to 102988 (California). The collection of GISAID P.1 /Gamma genomes available as of July 2021 was also skewed by U.S. state, with a median of 60 P.1 sequences, (range of 3 (South Dakota) to 2035 (Illinois)). However, the correlation between the total number of SARS-CoV-2 sequences with state of origins data through June 2021 in GISAID and state population sizes (U.S. Census Bureau, https://data.census.gov) is substantial (Pearson’s r = 0.91); this m...

      The findings in this study are subject to limitations. First, home testing, whichis not reported and increased during the analysis period, would impact conclusions if testing practices differed by vaccine status. This potential bias would not impact hospitalizations. During this highest-incidence period, including for severe disease, for children, there were still relatively few children admissions. Additional data are needed to fully-understand VE trends against severe disease.2,9 By the end of January, 12.5% of vaccinated children 12-17 years had received a booster, likely adding protection to that group, although the time-since-vaccination analysis had no boosted children. This analysis compared early vaccinators in the younger age group withlater vaccinators in the older age group, who may differ in test-seeking or exposures. Similar conclusions regarding relative VE declines between children 5-11 and 12-17 years using open cohorts suggests this trend is robust. Our data support vaccine protection against severe disease among children 5-11 years, but suggest rapid loss of protection against infection, in the Omicron variant era. Should such findings be replicated in other settings, review of the dosing schedule for children 5-11 years appears prudent. At this time, efforts to increase primary vaccination coverage in this age group, which remains <25% nationally, should continue. Given rapid loss of protection against infections, these results highlight the continued impor...

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

      While this study is one of the first on the impact of SARS-CoV-2 vaccinations in a large, gender-balanced, and diverse population of patients with CLD, there are several limitations that have been previously described in our works utilizing the N3C Data Enclave. Limitations due to the use of N3C Data Enclave include overrepresentation of tertiary academic medical centers, selection bias due to derivation of SARS-CoV-2 negative and positive populations based on testing, systematic missingness of certain variables due to data heterogeneity, and likely misclassification between patients with alcohol-associated liver disease and non-alcoholic fatty liver disease.10 These inherent limitations likely selected for a more clinically ill patient population than the general CLD and cirrhosis patient populations. There are also several limitations specific to this particular study. First, the underlying vaccination data is based on recorded medication exposures at each of the data partner sites. This data may not include vaccinations administered at mass vaccination sites, local pharmacies, “pop-up” vaccination sites, and other venues. Therefore, there may be a significant proportion of false-negatives for detection of vaccine doses (patients who actually received a vaccination not recorded as such in the N3C Data Enclave). Second, while the N3C Data Enclave had additional or “booster” dose information in the recorded medication exposures at data partner sites, we were not able to estim...

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

      Our study has some limitations. The heterogeneity of study designs, populations, diseases, indicators, and indicators’ definitions do not allow application of a meta-analysis approach and quantifying the real impact of the pandemic on cancer care. We also recognize potential bias that could arise from the inclusion of survey data, which rely on what respondents recall and report. However, a relevant number of surveys were conducted by international societies and networks of providers, which allows for the collection of credible information regarding changes in care. Surveys also show how medical societies and countries were unable to obtain these data using current health information systems and data structures. We acknowledge the patients’ perspective is not comprehensive since only a few surveys included patient-reported outcomes and experiences of care measures. The cancer care pathway is not complete in this study, as it did not address primary prevention, rehabilitation, and palliative care. Nonetheless, we provide a thorough overview of the cancer care pathway, from diagnosis to outcomes. The distribution of studies per country is not homogenous in this study, which does not allow to generalize these trends to all included countries or to fully assess disparities in cancer care between OECD countries. Care inequalities could have been exacerbated during this pandemic, which needs to be further studied regarding cancer care. The COVID-19 pandemic keeps evolving until the...

      This study has limitations. Since the Omicron wave was initially dominated with BA.1 (Figure 1), the follow-up in the BA.2- against-BA.1 study was shifted in calendar time to after the follow-up in the BA.1- against-BA.2 study. With the high intensity of infection transmission, followed by rapid decline of the Omicron wave, more of the uninfected-controls in the BA.2- against-BA.1 study may have experienced an undocumented Omicron infection compared to the uninfected-controls in the BA.1- against-BA.2 study. This would bias to a lower value and may explain why was lower than that of . Effectiveness against reinfection was estimated for only few weeks after the primary infection. A longer duration of follow-up may identify differences not yet seen given the recency of the Omicron wave. However, evidence has been consistent that natural immunity, unlike vaccine immunity, wanes slowly with minimal waning for at least several months after primary infection.2,5-9,20-22 BA.1 and BA.2 ascertainment was based on proxy criteria, presence or absence of SGTF using the TaqPath PCR assay, but this method of ascertainment is well established not only for Omicron sub-lineages, but also for other variants such as Alpha.6,19,33 BA.1 and BA.2 ascertainment was not possible for infections diagnosed using RAT or other PCR testing. This limitation was mitigated by basing the main analysis estimate on the distribution of known BA.1 and BA.2 cases for each calendar day, and by providing a sensitivi...

      Our study has some strengths and limitations. The strengths of our analysis include the use of several nationally representative datasets, which allowed us to gain insight into potential socio-demographic, epidemiologic, and COVID-19-related correlates of diabetes-related excess mortality in Mexico. Second, we standardized all mortality analyses by age, which allowed for adequate comparisons across Mexican regions with a diverse population structure and more precise estimation of diabetes-related excess mortality. Finally, given that the pandemic had a differential impact across Mexico, we explored spatial effects in the influence of all evaluated epidemiological indicators; this allowed us to understand the regional impact of diabetes-related excess mortality to better inform public policy. We also acknowledge the following limitations which should prompt caution in the interpretation of our results. By using state-level variables, we were unable to perform inferences for all identified associations at individual or even local levels; this is particularly relevant for socio-demographic inequalities, indicators of glycemic control, and COVID-19 seroprevalence which may have significant heterogeneity within Mexican states at both the municipal, local, and individual level. Finally, since ascertainment of COVID-19 cases in Mexico has been insufficient17, many SARS-CoV-2 infections could have been undetected and some of these may have led to diabetes-related complications such a...

      The results of this study should, however, be considered in the context of several assumptions and limitations. While the vast majority of the model inputs were derived from published COVID-19 literature and national surveillance data, uncertainty existed in parameter estimates and was tested in sensitivity analyses. Other forms of uncertainty (i.e., structural, and methodological) were not explicitly tested. The structures and mechanics used in the model were informed by medical opinion and were consistent with other published models [15-17], the existing data and understanding of the disease. Several simplifications and assumptions were made to minimize unnecessary complexity and deal with data limitations. Due to limited usable data on the spread of SARS-CoV-2 in the community and the effect of vaccination on transmission, our model simplified the epidemiology dynamics and time-dependent effects in a static Markov and decision tree model. Moreover, the model did not directly assess the transmission process and the indirect and herd immunity effects of vaccination, nor the potential therapeutic effects of vaccination in reducing the severity of cases and the impact of PASC, nor the potential macroeconomic savings that could have been achieved over the year through temporal elimination of levels of non-pharmaceutical interventions (NPIs) (e.g., restricted social interactions). Hence, this parsimonious model framework may have generated conservative estimates. These conservat...

      Strengths and limitations: The strength of this study was the prospective nature of the study design. This study showed direct and indirect effects of the psychosocial working conditions on the immune function. However, the present study had several limitations. First, self-reported measures were used to assess the psychosocial working conditions and side effects. People with poor working conditions or high distress may have overreported the side effects. Besides, employees with low coworker support may be easily conscious of side effects because fewer people around them take over their work, so they are more concerned about the impact on their work. Second, this study did not consider other psychosocial conditions other than job demand, job control, and workplace social support. Other factors should be investigated in future research. Third, generalizability was limited because the participants were full-time employees in Japan, and the data were retrieved from the online panel. Fourth, the significant association found in this study could have been superficial, as other potential confounding factors could have affected the results. Fifth, this study addressed only a very short-term innate immune response to vaccination but did not examine the effects on cellular or humoral immunity after vaccination and over longer period. The previous meta-analysis revealed a negative association between stress and antibody production after influenza vaccinations [34]. In addition, several...

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

      This study has several limitations that need to be addressed. First of all, sample sizes differed between demographic groups. For example, 70 divorced/widowed individuals and 329 singles participated in the online survey. We recruited a convenience sample and widowers/widows and divorced individuals are on average older and less technically involved than singles, which made it more difficult to recruit them in an online survey. Another limitation is the cross-sectional design of the study, which makes it impossible to draw causal conclusions on long-term (mental) health outcomes. Furthermore, there is no baseline assessment of the variables of interest before lockdown, therefore we were not able to control for the participants’ pre-lockdown levels of loneliness and cortisol. Thus, our results can only be seen as a “snapshot” of the current situation. There are several aspects that could be addressed in future research. Although we found main effects of relationship status, living situation, and relationship quality, they only explained a small amount of variance in the outcomes. This indicates that there are additional predictor and moderator variables influencing the outcomes. Furthermore, the stress-buffering effects of close relationships is not restricted to romantic relationships. For example, having meaningful relationships with close friends or relatives38 could be one protective factor. In addition, longitudinal assessments with repeated within-person measurements of ...

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

      A common limitation of studies like ours is the fact that only a certain portion of infections is reported (ascertainment rate). We believe this phenomenon does not affect significantly our estimates of vaccine effectiveness, assuming that the ascertainment rate is the same for the vaccinated and the unvaccinated alike and we have no evidence to the contrary. A difference in the ascertainment rate could also distort our estimates of the protection by the post-infection immunity; in particular, if there were undetected individuals with post-infection immunity in the control group, the infection risk of the population would be underestimated and, consequently, the protection by infection underestimated as well. Our results should be interpreted in terms of reported infections only.

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

      There are clearly a number of limitations for this kind of analysis. Unavoidable is the issue of single copy orthologues, which comprised 63-77% of genes identified by RNA-Seq in lung tissues. This issue is less of a problem for pathway analyses when using programs such as IPA that accept both human and mouse gene nomenclature. The different sources of tissues and the different technologies used to generate gene expression data (Table 1) likely add to non-biological variability, although this was perhaps mitigated herein by combining multiple human and mouse studies. The large differences in viral loads between some groups (Figure 2A) would appear to play a role in the poor concordance in gene expression profiles, particularly for human groups and down-regulated genes. However, analyses of K18-hACE2 (high viral load) and mACE2-hACE (lower viral loads) argued that the difference in viral loads was not a major player in the poor overlap in up-regulated orthoDEGs for mouse vs. human groups. In summary, the analyses herein argue that overlap in orthoDEG expression in the lung tissues of hACE2-transgenic mice and humans after SARS-CoV-2 infection is generally poor. In contrast, the concordance in immune and inflammation pathways was high, arguing that the transgenic mouse models provide relevant and pertinent models in which to evaluate new interventions for SARS-CoV-2 and COVID-19.

      The limitation of this study is that we not take genetic variant of SARS-CoV-2 [36-39], especially the Delta and Omicron variants that are known to engender high viral loads and high transmissibility into consideration. Notwithstanding, our study provides detailed information in a relatively large cohort of both vaccinated and convalescent individuals recovering from SARS-CoV-2 infection. Our results showed that the declining slope of neutralizing antibodies in AZD1222-vaccinated individuals is much steeper than in convalescent individuals and those who received the BBV152. We also provided estimation of the decline rate as well as corresponding breakthrough infection and hospitalization risks by considering age, underlying comorbid conditions and time-scales into account.

      We recognize sampling bias as a limitation of our study, with sample collection being not proportional to the number of cases in all islands. In fact, the island of Tenerife always had the highest percentage of sequenced samples, mainly because the network was physically located in the island and therefore sample logistics was easier. Despite this, we managed to efficiently identify and track all VOCs in the Canary Islands since December 2020 and promptly inform the Public Health authorities in the region.

      Potential limitations of this analysis include that claims data do not capture COVID-19 disease severity (eg, viral load) or symptom data, including time of symptom onset, which are important predictors of hospitalization and mortality and may be used by clinicians to inform treatment decisions. Since the study was non-randomized, this limitation may result in residual confounding due to channeling bias; some patients may not have been treated because they may have had milder disease than those who were treated, potentially leading to underestimation of CAS+IMD effectiveness. Potentially important confounders such as BMI and COVID-19 vaccination are not well captured in claims data; assuming patients with higher BMI and those who are unvaccinated would be more likely to have worse disease and be treated, residual confounding would likely bias results against CAS+IMD. Misclassification may similarly result from use of days from diagnosis to treatment as a proxy for the duration from symptom onset to treatment as, for many patients, COVID-19 symptoms are likely to have started prior to diagnosis. Furthermore, the data were sourced at a time when vaccinations were not routinely available, particularly in the PMTX+ database, thus limiting the generalizability of our findings. Additionally, the current findings may not be generalizable to future variants, such as Omicron, where laboratory studies have found markedly reduced neutralization activity [24, 25]. Finally, the claims dat...

      This study had however several limitations. We did not use a control group as it’s often the case in OT study because it’s ethically difficult not to treat a patient, and technically impossible or quite difficult to use placebo odors. Concerning TDI results, we can wonder if spontaneous recovery could have produced the same results. It’s hard to answer to that question formally as, with similar complete (T,D,I) SST evaluations, there are only a few studies reporting spontaneous post-COVID-19 olfactory recovery(47,48), and even less reporting it after OT(29). Iannuzzi et al.(49) found a significant T progression evaluated after 2 months of spontaneous olfactory recovery, which may correspond to early olfactory neurons and sustentacular regeneration occurring around 2 to 4 weeks in such inflammatory environment(50). Compared to D and I, we previously reported(8) that T was the most decreased olfaction subdimension measured in a cohort of patients with near 6 months post-COVID-19 PPVOD, confirming what many authors found in similar patients after 4(48) or 6(47) months of spontaneous recovery with a tiny or non-significant increasing of T. There is, to date, no potential explanation that could validate a spontaneous T increasing after 6 months of persistent post-COVID-19 olfactory loss. Spontaneous recovery occurred mainly in the first month and does not change afterward. Another limit is the absence of psychophysical taste evaluation even if, after 6 months, almost all patients ...

      Limitations of the study: This study was limited to cell culture infection assays, in which cell types and other conditions reflected drug sensitivities. However, viral targeting agents examined in this study (casirivimab, imdevimab, and S309 target Spike, EIDD-1931 target polymerase, and nirmatrelvir target main protease) were much less governed through cellular backgrounds, compared to host-targeting antivirals, and instead are more affected by viral factors such as sequence changes in the viral genome. Our assay at least compared the intrinsic antibody/drug sensitivity of SARS-CoV-2 variants side by side, helpful in discussing the impact of sequence substitutions on antibody/drug activities. Additionally, the analyses of animal and patient infections under treatment were further desired to understand drug efficacy. Yet, given the Omicron BA.2 wave’s urgency and the need for the scientific evidence to better combat this infectious disease, our data significantly present the potential diversity of drug/antibody efficacies among SARS-CoV-2 variants.

      Our study has several limitations. First, our follow-up was limited to 6 weeks after symptom onset. While our survey response was robust and we validated test results and vaccinations, the prevalence of symptoms is likely to decay over time and we did not assess longer term effects. We were also not able to determine whether symptoms were caused by SARS-CoV-2 infection, although other evidence indicates that symptoms are usually specific to COVID-19 if reported 6 weeks after illness onset.9 Second, we relied on self-reported symptoms in participants who knew their vaccination status. Many reported symptoms are subjective, leaving open the possibility that vaccinated participants had more confidence that their symptoms would resolve quickly. It is also possible that symptom severity affected response rates, although our findings were similar after excluding symptoms that were rated as mild by participants. Third, our study period precluded analysis of booster doses, which are now recommended for adults in the United States.34 It is possible that booster doses might provide additional protection against symptoms after initial COVID-19. Our analysis was also limited to infections before introduction of the Omicron variant. Finally, there could be unmeasured differences between those vaccinated and unvaccinated that predispose some participants to having persistent symptoms or returning to work more quickly. We attempted to account for some of these factors in our regression mode...

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

      The limitation of this study is that the participants were limited to 20-69 years old, and the exact recovery for older and younger people who have been vaccinated is unknown. In addition, detailed interviews regarding specific underlying diseases and medications were not conducted. Thus, the elderly and those with underlying illnesses are considered to be at a higher risk of COVID-19 until their follow-up reports are available. In conclusion, the present study showed that the booster effect, especially against the Omicron variant, was observed in the Japanese population. Since booster vaccination is now ongoing in the elderly, followed by healthcare workers in Japan, the findings contribute to the correct understanding of the efficacy and side effects of the booster and the promotion of vaccine campaigns.

      Limitations of our analyses include the aggregated nature of our data, therefore potentially limited by ecological fallacy. Time varying influential factors have possibly been controlled with DiD methods taking England as a negative control group, yet other differences between the regions might be prevalent and affect the spreading of the virus differently. Moreover, the interventions were introduced at different times and with different limitations, and the response of the population to them might have been different in different regions. An unquestionably fair comparison is thus impossible. In conclusion, we demonstrate that the introduction of mandatory certificates was effective in decreasing cases in all countries except in England. This could be explained by differences of concomitant measures, on baseline vaccination uptake or by the emergence of the Omicron variant. Mandatory certification is only one of many policy levers to control the pandemic, and a sensible reassessment of its efficacy should be made by the competent authorities.

      Finally, suspicions of scientists colluding with big pharmaceutical companies, following comments made on social media, could also contribute to explaining this mistrust.[47] Our analysis nevertheless has some limitations. First, as any national population-based survey, the present study failed to capture highly vulnerable groups such as undocumented migrants and homeless people, who were particularly affected by the pandemic.[34] Secondly, our analysis was based on a survey conducted in July 2021. Until reaching a plateau in October 2021,[49] vaccination rates continued to rise particularly in connection with the mandatory anti-Covid-19 certification (requiring proof of vaccination, recent negative test, or proof of recovery to access specific places such as restaurants, theatres, trains, planes, etc.) introduced on July 21st 2021, which increased vaccine uptake.[2,50] Considering that the least privileged social groups are less impacted by the anti-Covid-19 certification, since they are not likely to routinely access such places, we could hypothesise that the social inequalities observed are still present today, even if their magnitude is less prominent. In addition, it was interesting to study the social inequalities in vaccination practises before the introduction of the mandatory anti-Covid-19 certification to be able to evaluate its effectiveness afterwards. The highly structuring effect of mistrust in the government and scientists remains to be understood in greater de...

      Limitations: Due to the timing of this review (conducted in November 2021), there was a lack of longitudinal work to be reviewed, with all data in the included studies collected in 2020 and most gathered early in the pandemic when social restrictions had only been in place for weeks or months. However, the review provides a useful snapshot of how performing artists experienced the pandemic-related lockdowns at their most severe. The next step for researchers in the field should be to consider the long-term effects of the pandemic on performing artists. Due to COVID-19 restrictions, the majority of studies in this review were advertised and recruited for online. This is understandable given the context of the research, but automatically excludes those without internet access and those lacking the skills and technology to respond to online surveys or take part in remote interviews – which is problematic, given the concerns discussed about additional pressures of the pandemic for disadvantaged groups. Additionally, due to the fact that participation in most studies involved being online, samples were likely to be skewed toward those who had adapted at least somewhat to remote performing, and results may therefore not accurately capture the barriers experienced by others who had not. Many studies also had small sample sizes and were based on convenience samples, meaning results may not be generalisable to the wider performing arts population. In terms of our own review process, o...

      In particular, because the question on Long Covid was not introduced until 3 February 2021, shortly after mass COVID-19 vaccination started in the UK on 8 December 2020, one key limitation is that it was not possible to match double-vaccinated and unvaccinated participants on calendar time of infection (Supplementary Figure 1). Differences in the likelihood of developing Long Covid symptoms between exposure groups may therefore partly reflect changes in the dominant COVID-19 variant or other period effects. Our key exposure was double vaccination, despite third and booster doses now being available, and the study period was before the Omicron variant became widespread. We were not able to investigate participants who were single-vaccinated when infected because nearly all of these received their second dose within the 12-week follow-up period, confounding any relationship between one dose at infection and Long Covid symptoms. In conclusion, SARS-CoV-2 infection after double vaccination is associated with a reduced risk of developing Long Covid symptoms at 12 weeks compared with infection before vaccination, emphasising the need for public health initiatives to increase population-level vaccine uptake. Studies with longer follow-up are needed to assess the impact of booster doses and the Omicron variant and to evaluate symptom trajectories beyond a single 12-week follow-up visit, particularly given the relapsing nature of Long Covid [14]. Further research into possible biologi...

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

      4.3 DML limitations: This work illustrates limitations with DLM estimated via ordinary least squares. The residual plots illustrate that the selected DLM approach did not characterize all the structure of data. For example, the daily DLMs generally underpredicted during periods of peak incidence. Further, the residuals were highly autocorrelated. Modifications to capture the error structure (e.g., using weighted least squares regression) could further improve model performance. Multicollinearity was also present in the regressors, particularly for the data collected at higher sampling frequency, which can lead to unreliable coefficient estimates with large standard errors.26 However, this was not observed for the model fit to daily sampling data (Table 1 and Tables S2-S5). Multicollinearity can be addressed by putting constraints on the lagged effects such as adopting a spline function for the lag weights.26 Despite the flaws in the DLM approach selected, the out-of-sample prediction of IR was useful. Improvements to the models could further improve performance. In practice, the DLM can be continually updated over time by fitting to the entire dataset or a subset of interest. The use of DLM models relies on a fixed relationship between COVID-19 infections and wastewater concentrations of SARS-COV-2 RNA. During emergence of new variants, the relationship could change if shedding dynamics and loads vary. The models also rely on the existence of reliable COVID-19 infection data....

      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.

      11,12 It is important to remark on some limitations of this study. First, the population surveyed does not represent other populations of agricultural and rural workers, and there is a selection bias towards young and healthy men, who were probably vaccinated given the recommendations provided by the employer before applying for a job. Second, this is a cross-sectional study, and most reports were based on self-reporting by workers which may have introduced recall bias. Despite this, the study provides valuable data for agricultural worker populations from middle-income countries that are considered essential for the economy and global food security.

      A limitation of the study related to the relative time between scans, which ranged between 1.0-7.3 years (3.2 on average), though we adjusted our models for the difference in age between scans. Although this was a prospective study, subjects were not recruited for baseline MRI scanning in anticipation of the COVID-19 pandemic, therefore changes in the body composition could have arisen from changes in lifestyle or disease progression, unrelated to COVID-19. However, our analysis controlled for multiple confounding factors. Moreover, in a previous separate longitudinal study using a larger UKBB cohort, we reported small but significant changes in several tissues and organs [73], although none of these were further altered by COVID-19 in our current study. Thus, the fact that in our previous longitudinal study, we did not observe changes in lung volume further increases confidence in our current findings. A further limitation of the study is that the UKBB population does not include younger people or children, with initial recruitment in 2007 covering participants aged 40 to 69 of age, therefore it is unclear whether our observations can be extrapolated to other age groups. In conclusion, body composition assessed via MRI and image-derived phenotypes can provide significant insight into the impact of COVID-19 and could help to understand its long-term impact on those suffering its aftermath. Our study showed a significant decrease in lung volume in SARS-CoV-2 infected cases. We...

      Strengths and weaknesses: This study has several strengths. It is one of the first on healthcare providers’ workload and its association with respectful maternity care during the COVID-19 pandemic. As this study included all the health facilities in the study area, it provides an overview of all levels of health facilities and all the cadre of healthcare providers in Nepal. It also has several limitations. The respectful maternity care practice was affected by social desirability bias. In order to overcome it, assurance of anonymity and confidentiality was provided. Also, the healthcare providers were well explained about the objectives of the study and its possible impact on the scientific literatures. The data related to respectful maternity care practice before the pandemic depended on the healthcare provider’s memory, which might have introduced a measurement error in the outcome assessment. Since the COVID-19 pandemic occurred during the data collection, the researcher had to rely on the self-reporting data for before the pandemic period. The visual rating of the NASA TXL scale was changed to auditory description, as the data collection was done through telephone for the prevention of spread of COVID-19 infection. The change of scale from visual to auditory could have caused over-reporting or under-reporting of the workload. This could be the reason why it did not show strong evidence for the association with the respectful maternity care practice (44).

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

      We acknowledge that our study is not without limitations. The sample size is limited, and the number of placentas delivered from SARS-CoV-2 IgG positive participants is small. We do not have information on the precise timing of SARS-CoV-2 infection, disease severity, or newborn SARS-CoV-2 IgG levels. Given the exploratory nature of this study, we only measured expression of a small number of genes, and we did not account for multiple testing. Larger studies are needed to investigate the effects of SARS-CoV-2 infection on the whole placental transcriptome. In summary, we found evidence of an association between SARS-CoV-2 infection during pregnancy and placental expression of trophoblast and immune related genes which could potentially contribute to long-term health effects in the offspring. Future research should confirm the observed associations and assess potential long-term implications.

      Results from TrialIdentifier: No clinical trial numbers were referenced.

      Results from Barzooka: We did not find any issues relating to the usage of bar graphs.

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

      Our study has a number of strengths and limitations. It is a multi-centre study from across Canada and thus includes broad representation of individuals, although the majority of participants who reported ethnicity were White and these data may thus not be fully generalizable to other populations. Participants were enrolled from all trimesters in pregnancy and this was included as a co-variate in the MV models. A significant advantage over other similar studies is the contemporaneous recruitment of non-pregnant vaccinated individuals, enabling a robust direct comparison in significant AEFIs between pregnant and non-pregnant individuals. In this study we have focused on events occurring within the first seven days following vaccination and thus acute and local reactions. Longer-term follow-up of this cohort is ongoing and we will be able to comment on health events that occur on a longer time frame after vaccination once those data are available. CANVAS is based on self-report from study participants, without verification from medical records. This is subjective and may be subject to recall bias, but has been shown to be reliable for short time periods, such as used in this study21,22. The study relied on individuals having an email address and actively enrolling. Such individuals may differ in health seeking behavior from the rest of the population, but at least for our comparisons between groups it would be expected that they would be similarly affected. Finally, our sample ...

      VNAs to the vaccine vectors will likely pose limitations to repeated booster immunization using the same Ad vector by not only reducing, but also, as we reported previously, modifying transgene product-specific immune responses.56 To avoid interference by Ad vector-specific VNAs, we developed a vaccine regimen composed of two serologically distinct E1-deleted AdC vectors. We selected AdC vectors as pre-existing VNAs to these chimpanzee viruses are rare in humans and individuals who have VNAs in general have low titers.44 We developed two serologically distinct AdC vectors to prevent blunting of booster immunizations by VNAs induced by the AdC vector used for priming. The two AdC vectors express the S protein of an isolate from Sweden, which is identical to that of the original Wuhan virus. We did not codon-optimize the S sequence, nor did we incorporate the K986P and V987P stabilizing mutations into the S2 sequence which both were used for the S gene expressed by the RNA vaccines,57 mutations of the S1/S2 furin cleavage site which, in addition to the stabilizing mutations, were incorporated into the S gene carried by the J&J COVID-19 vaccine,58 or AstraZeneca’s engineered leader sequence.59 Phase III trial results of the different Ad vector vaccines fail to indicate that any of these modifications have a major impact on vaccine efficacy. In our study, as expected, the magnitude of S protein-specific antibody responses after a single immunization increased with higher vaccine ...

      Although the unavailability of the raw data (FASTQ files) from the 67 samples remains the limitation of the study, phylogenetic analysis of the 20 samples tested at Advanta Analytical Laboratories were clustered as expected; all the VOC and Non-VOC samples were grouped appropriately. Although NGS is the most reliable method for detecting mutations in SARS-CoV-2, the methodology is not practically applicable for large-scale surveillance, particularly in resource-limited settings. Factors like continuous validation studies, logistic challenges, database validity, cost-benefit analysis, and high technical expertise make the implementation of NGS in routine clinical settings difficult. Comparatively, Q-PCR—a gold standard for diagnosing SARS-CoV-2—is a method that can be extended for variant detection and monitoring in clinical settings. The novelty of this research is that it demonstrated that Q-PCR is as effective as NGS in detecting SARS-CoV-2 mutations. Two Q-PCR-based assays for the detection of SARS-CoV-2 mutagenic variants were tested and compared with NGS data. Both assays were able to detect L452R mutation with 100% (67/67; GT Molecular) and 94% (63/67; Thermo Fisher) accuracy when compared to NGS. While NGS is an essential tool for sequencing the entire genome and identification of new mutations, this study suggests Q-PCR can aptly serve as an easy to deploy, cost-effective, and time-sensitive solution for the detection of known mutations for mass surveillance. Likewise...

      The P681H mutation of the Alpha variant keeps a motif similar to α-conotoxin, with the important caveat that the aromatic ring of H681 forms a stacking interaction with R682. This motif no longer fits in the α9-nAChR binding pocket (Fig. 2B), preventing the interaction between the Alpha variant and the cholinergic inflammatory pathway via the α9 subunit. The same behavior is observed for Omicron, whereas Delta partially recovers the toxin binding motif, and, thus, some capacity to trigger this inflammatory pathway. As shown in Fig. 4, our findings accurately track the appearance of these different variants of concern and reported cases of Multisystem Inflammatory Syndrome in Children by the CDC. Our findings predict that Omicron has a significantly reduced risk to trigger MIS-C. Of note, the Alpha variant already showed a diminished risk of MIS-C. However, as noted in Fig. 4, the alpha variant always has some overlap with beta, gamma, iota and mu variants that are predicted to engage the cholinergic inflammatory pathway the same as wild-type SARS-CoV2. Collectively, our findings validate molecular modeling as an approach to probe the host/pathogen interactions. This advance allows us to test the functional impact of past and future mutations by in silico scanning physical interactions. Based on the insights borne out by the structural evolution at the furin cleavage site, we surmise that Omicron eliminated the risk of MIS-C. The ultimate question of whether the N679K/P681H mu...

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

      Our study has limitations. The hamster model does not accurately represent COVID-19 disease for all human age- and comorbidity-associated subpopulations as the animals only develop mild-to-moderate disease (11, 20, 21), but this is a drawback of most current animal models (22). The more recently identified dwarf hamster model is associated with higher disease severity, but the extremely acute disease progression with animals reaching clinical endpoints within as quickly as 3 dpi (23) does not parallel the more prolonged course of severe disease in humans (24). In all cases, the current intranasal delivery of the challenge virus, whilst mimicking the most biologically relevant route of infection in humans, may interfere with readout parameters for the upper respiratory tract negatively impacting analysis of virus replication and shedding. Future transmission studies need to confirm the impact of MK-4482 on virus shedding and ultimately transmission to naïve animals. A study awaiting peer-review has shown an inhibitory effect of MK-4482 on shedding and transmission in the upper respiratory disease ferret model (25), which is encouraging; transmission studies are more difficult to perform in the hamster (26) and should be targeted for future experiments. The greatest limitation in the current situation is the incomplete experience with molnupiravir in clinical studies against the Omicron VOC. Those studies are underway, and results are expected in the near future. Nevertheless, ...

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

      There are some limitations in this study: the most important one being that the bulk of T cell experiments were performed not by direct measurement of T cell quantity, but by measuring cytokines secreted in whole blood after specific peptide stimulation. However, we provide direct evidence orthogonally that Spike-specific CD4+ and CD8+ T cells were induced by vaccination in IBD patients and visualized IL-10+ T cells. Nevertheless, while this method does not directly quantify the number of T cells, it provides a standardised method well suited for longitudinal analysis of T cell responses in patients under different treatments. The simplicity of the assay reduces the inter-assay variability, and is directly performed on fresh whole blood, limiting the detrimental effects of freezing and thawing (43). Furthermore, since T cell functionality is analysed in whole blood, the immune-modifying therapies administered into the patients are present at therapeutic levels during the assay, mimicking, as we previously argued (44), more closely the situation in vivo. In conclusion, we show here that mRNA vaccination in IBD patients under different immunomodulatory treatments triggers a robust cellular immune response amidst an attenuated humoral response. Particularly, patients under TNFi monotherapy demonstrate reduced kinetics of decline of Spike-specific T cell responses, and an ability to secrete a cytokine profile characterized by the simultaneous presence of IFN-γ, IL-2 and the anti-...

      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.

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

      Our study has several limitations. First, we have no direct comparator group of immunocompromised patients based on therapy, as it would be of interest to compare severity and outcomes to other patients on different immunosuppressive therapies. For now unfortunately large studies such as these have not been reported. Secondly, it is likely that unknown cases of mild or even asymptomatic infection may have been unreported or missed and certain data fields extracted from the chart review may have been missing especially from patients receiving their BCDT outside of our health care system. Thirdly, while we chose to examine patients given BCDTs in the year 2020, we did not account for ongoing BCDT through the end of the study which may have further contributed to immunosuppression. A recent study of rituximab in vasculitis patients demonstrated that antibody levels to S protein fell by greater than 50% within 4 weeks of drug administration 24. Finally, it would clearly be of interest to examine breakthrough infections in concert with assessing the status of patients’ integrated immune responses by assessing serologic responses, especially anti-Spike antibody titers, which have been associated with breakthrough infections in IMIDs patients 25, as well as B cell numbers and cell mediated immune responses. Unfortunately this was not possible in this retrospective study where such data were not gathered or were missing on the vast majority of patients. In terms of practical implicat...

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

      Limitations: This study has several limitations. Firstly, the results are based on a cross-sectional survey design, and lacks longitudinal follow up. Most respondents were female (73.5%), educated to a tertiary level (91.9%), with an ability to read English and exhibit a competent level of computer literacy due to the online survey format, which could bias results as it may not be fully representative of those impacted by international travel restrictions globally. Secondly, while we used a validated tool, our psychometric results were based on self-reporting, and as such could raise some subjectivity and bias issues as the scores reflect psychological distress not diagnosed by mental health professionals. Further, a baseline measure of mental health was not available or collected, and hence measurement in change due to COVID-19-related travel restrictions was not possible. Despite these limitations, the study provides novel insights into the wider impacts of travel restrictions beyond infection control. Conclusion: Our findings suggest that international travel restrictions have significantly contributed to severe symptoms of depression, anxiety, and stress, as well as financial distress. Results indicate that for those impacted by COVID-19 related travel restrictions, being female, chronic illness and financial stress were predictors of moderate to extremely severe DAS. Work status during COVID-19, specifically being an essential services worker or unemployed were both pred...

      Our study also has some limitations. Given the observational nature of this study, it is possible that some hidden confounding variables were still not properly addressed. In addition, this study was performed prospectively in the context of an ongoing pandemic, therefore, association between any breakthrough infection and any given adverse events cannot be ruled out. However, in our follow-up phone-based survey we asked patients regarding any previous or current SARS-CoV-2 infection. Despite these limitations, our study provides highly anticipated data regarding the short-and long-term adverse events of the SARS-CoV-2 vaccination in patients with IBD.

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

      One of the limitations of this study is that clinical outcomes are not known for 11% of patients in the Omicron wave as it ended at the time of analysis and some patients are still in hospital. As clinical outcomes have varied little over the course of the Omicron wave, it is not anticipated that these results will change substantially when the outstanding clinical outcomes are added. Additionally, testing strategies for determining cases have changed over time, though most testing during the waves has focused on testing those with symptoms and those with exposure. While the criteria for hospital admission with Covid-19 may have changed over time, they have been minimal over the last six months when both the Delta and Omicron waves occurred. This study has some data limitations as well. Firstly, disease severity relies on clinical parameters like oxygen and ventilation treatment and not laboratory parameters, although oxygen is usually initiated based on an objectively measured oxygen saturation. Secondly, the incompleteness of reporting in DATCOV and missing values in some patient data may under-estimate severity, but the completeness of reporting is unlikely to have changed substantially over the four waves. Thirdly, while the dataset did not have individual-level data on infecting lineage for cases included in this analysis, each of the four waves included in this study had a predominant variant that allows for wave period to be used as a proxy for dominant variant.

      Additionally, aversion to mandatory limitations to gathering, in-person school and work, and non-essential businesses, might further suggest that most younger adults prefer mandates that require vaccination or other proof of health if they can continue their usual activities. We found no significant difference in preference for vaccination at a doctor’s office, pharmacy, or vaccination site. This might suggest that tailored vaccine administration models for younger adults should focus less on which sites are optimal, and rather prioritize flexibility by having the vaccine available in many different settings. Participants preferred being vaccinated with two doses of the same vaccine over receiving only a single dose or two doses of different vaccine brands. As evidence emerges that “mix-and-match” booster shot strategies could be effective in providing sustained protection against COVID-19 (43), acceptance of this strategy for both initial vaccinations, and potentially also booster shots, might be lower in younger adults. Policy makers should factor this into implementation of such strategies and targeted communications should address concerns about vaccine mixing. While the joint administration of COVID-19 and influenza vaccination may be a promising solution to increase coverage for both vaccines (44), our results suggest it would not motivate younger adults to take a COVID-19 vaccine and, like vaccine mixing, may require interventions to improve acceptability. Similar to t...

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

      We note two major limitations in our study. First, we were not able to conduct a live-virus challenge experiment, therefore, we do not know whether the observed improvements of humoral and cellular immunities can be translated into superior protection. Second, the results were generated using a mouse model, which might not completely mimic the characteristics of human immune responses. The Omicron variant challenge studies in animals and vaccination in humans will be required for corroboration.

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

      Despite these limitations, we were able to use deep humoral immune profiling to understand how CCP modulates host immunodominance and provides clinical benefit. Expanding this approach in larger clinical trials will be essential to validate these findings. The emergence of the omicron variant has rendered most of our monoclonal antibody therapeutics no longer active.(Aggarwal et al., 2021; Cameroni et al., 2021; Cao et al., 2021; Planas et al., 2021) Now there is a renewed interest in use of polyclonal antibody therapies like CCP, which are less likely to loose efficacy to new variants because they target multiple sites in the virus and plasma from survivors of recently circulating variants can be procured relatively quickly. By using a systemic approach to study correlates of therapeutic benefit of CCP, we have found novel targets for future severe COVID-19 disease modifying treatments. Our findings contribute to a burgeoning literature showing the promise of anti-N monoclonal antibodies as disease modifying treatment for severe COVID-19 induced hyperinflammation. Further, our findings show that by choosing CCP based on high S titers alone and selecting patients based on low pre-existing S titers, we are likely incorrectly matching patients with therapies. Finally, our research confirms the importance of the functional S and N antibody response in treatment of COVID-19 disease and should guide development of COVID-19 monoclonal and polyclonal antibody therapeutics that focus...

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

      Limitations: Our finding that childhood trauma exposure increases long COVID risk is novel, but there are several limitations of this study that must be considered. Participants were recruited online, and it is possible that those who developed long COVID are more invested in participating, potentially inflating the number of individuals with the syndrome, although our rates of long COVID are notably consistent with other reports.6-10 We also did not have COVID-19 positivity confirmed for all participants; however, we excluded participants who did not report a positive PCR-test, a clinician diagnosis, or smell/taste loss (which is the strongest indicator of COVID-19 positivity),21 minimizing the likelihood of including participants with no SARS-CoV-2 exposure. The cross-sectional design also limits our ability to determine causality, as is the case in any research examining the impact of childhood trauma in adults. Conclusion: In sum, our findings provide further evidence that long COVID is not infrequent and that it disproportionately affects females. Childhood trauma exposure may increase long COVID risk via altered immune responses, central sensitization, and disrupted peripheral nervous system function. The widespread prevalence of long COVID may shed light on the shared pathophysiology with other phenotypically similar syndromes that are more rarely diagnosed. Childhood trauma, a crucial social determinant of health, should be routinely assessed in COVID-19 survivors and...

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

      Our study has limitations. Even though test-negative design controls for bias due to healthcare-seeking behavior and access, the rates of testing between vaccinated and unvaccinated people might differ. Vaccinated individuals with symptoms could be more motivated to get tested which would lead to an overrepresentation of vaccinated individuals with positive test results, biasing the VE estimates downwards 64. Bias due to unmeasured confounders, such as occupation or behavior changes following policies or vaccination is also possible 65,66. We may have missed reports of prior infections if participants were tested at other clinics, which could also bias VE estimates downwards. Outcomes for patients who received only an antigen test could be misclassified due to lower test sensitivity. However, our sensitivity analysis showed that when restricted to the highly sensitive RT-PCR tests results, VE estimates were nearly identical to those of the overall sample. Misclassification of exposure is a possibility as vaccination status was self-reported and dates of vaccination were not collected. However, other studies have shown very high agreement between self-reported and recorded COVID-19 vaccination status 67,68. VE after one dose of mRNA vaccines is likely underestimated in this study because it was not known if the outcome occurred more than 15 days after the first dose. We did not collect information on disease severity and hospitalization and could not differentiate between asym...

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

      However, there are some limitations to the analysis which should be considered. The IPF analysis is a purely statistical method, with no mechanistic aspect. As such, the analysis does not account for the protection against disease afforded by vaccination. This means that prior infections are likely under-estimated in unvaccinated groups. This effect is mitigated somewhat by the analysis focussing mainly on broad groups of ‘good’ and ‘poor’ immunity, as unvaccinated individuals are considered as having poor immunity, regardless of prior infection status. The analysis does not consider time since vaccination as a factor influencing immunity. Once again this is mitigated by the broad characterisation of ‘good’ and ‘poor’ immunity, and the assumption that all third doses are immunologically recent. While a recent second dose of vaccine likely confers more immunity than a non-recent one, we consider both to provide ‘poor’ immunity to Omicron variant. Similarly, we assume that two doses of mRNA vaccine (Moderna or Pfizer) plus a booster dose offers a similar level of protection as two doses of Astra-Zeneca vaccine plus a booster dose of mRNA vaccine. The interpretation of this analysis is based on a number of assumptions on the level of immunity offered by vaccination status and prior infection. Further work is necessary to properly quantify this immunity, and more accurately estimate the level of protection present in the population. Similarly, it would be useful to consider immun...

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

      In the nasopharyngeal and heart, kidney, and liver samples, inhibition of OXPHOS and limitation of antioxidant defenses would result in increased mROS which stabilizes HIF-1α. This redirects metabolites away from the mitochondrion and toward glycolysis to generate lipid precursors. The imbalance in nDNA and mtDNA mitochondrial polypeptides also activates the UPRMT and UPRER, which activates the ISR resulting in bias of protein synthesis away from cellular maintenance and toward vial biogenesis. The human autopsy data confirms that, as viral titer declines, normal mitochondrial function resurges repairing tissue damage. However, if the virally-induced inhibition has been too severe, as in the case of the autopsy heart, kidney, and liver, then organ failure ensues resulting in death. While the early and late phases of COVID-19 modulation of bioenergetic gene transcription were established from the human nasopharyngeal and autopsy studies, the relationship between the initial viral protein inhibition of host mitochondrial proteins and the viral inhibition of bioenergetic gene transcription was not clear. To address this discrepancy, we analyzed the transcriptional effects of early hamster nasopharyngeal infection. This revealed that at peak lung viral titer, mitochondrial gene expression was not markedly impaired in the lung, heart, and kidney. Hence, the viral regulation of host mitochondrial transcription occurs after the initial viral protein inhibition of mitochondrial prote...

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

      Further investigation will be required to comprehensively determine limitations for capsid display in terms of size and structure of ligands, but similar sized receptor-binding domains of other viral proteins, including influenza hemagglutinin (∼25 kDa), have been expressed independently as recombinant proteins and displayed on VLPs (56) implying that this could be a generalizable concept. Capsid decoration using our protein superglue technology is simple, requiring only co-incubation of spontaneously and irreversibly reacting components with no chemical modification required. A similar conjugation process has already been scaled under good manufacturing practice (GMP) during development of a VLP-based SARS-CoV-2 vaccine currently in Phase I/II clinical trials (19). The ability of our adenovirus-based platform to induce both robust cellular and humoral immunity and to enhance efficacy of multi-shot regimens could be advantageous for applications beyond prophylactic vaccines, including therapeutic vaccines against chronic viral pathogens and cancer. Methods of rapid and customizable covalent decoration of Ad capsids could also be utilized for development of personalized therapies. In prophylactic settings, adenovirus capsid decoration could be utilized in the design of pan-coronavirus and pan-influenza vaccines; combining broad and conserved T cell immunity from encoded antigens with exchangeable capsid ligands delivering potent neutralizing humoral immunity.

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

      We note some limitations of SCCAMP. Our study has not evaluated specific aspects of the immune response, including T-cell response or quantitative, longitudinal assessment of different antibody classes. This may reveal a differential in the longevity or robustness of the immune response to SARS-CoV-2 in patients treated with SACT. As regular asymptomatic PCR screening was not routine clinical practice during the studied period of time, we acknowledge that asymptomatic cases, particularly in the post-vaccination time period, will likely be underestimated. However, broadly we can still presume that our results are reflective of symptomatic infection, and our comments regarding COVID-19 PCR test results should be interpreted accordingly. In addition to this, as noted where relevant in this analysis, the number of patients with a positive SARS-CoV-2 PCR were relatively small, and consequently have been cautious in over-analysing sub-categories of this group in our cohort. Our real-world follow-up strategy inevitably results in not all patients providing all or as many samples for antibody testing. This is also reflective of the need to balance between exposing patients to contact only when needed and the dynamic research changes demanded by the waves of SARS-CoV-2 infection. Our study relies on publicly available and published data to provide control data for a non-cancer population, and although patients on other treatments not thought to significantly impact on the immune syste...

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

      To circumvent these limitations, considerable efforts have been made to develop new adenoviral vectors from lower seroprevalence hAds (such as hAd26, hAd28 and hAd35)18,25,26 or from non-human primate sources (such as ChAdY25 and ChAd63)27,28. ChAd3 is one of the most promising candidates and shows well safety and tolerance in clinical trials targeting hepatitis C virus and Ebola virus.29–32 In this study, we have demonstrated for the first time, to our knowledge, that a ChAd3-derived SARS-CoV-2 vaccine can induce potent humoral and cellular immune responses and completely protect mice from B.1.617.2 challenge. At the same time, another vaccine candidate JS1-beta targeting B. 1.351 shows favorable immunogenicity in mice (Fig. S1), and JS1-omicron targeting B.1.1.529 is also under testing. The longevity of antigen-specific immune responses and the influence of anti-vector immunity induced by the vaccines, along with the cooperation with different boosters, will be further investigated. Recently, mucosal vaccines against SARS-CoV-2 have raised increasing interests due to their important advantage in preventing virus replication in the upper respiratory tracts, which is essential to interrupt pulmonary infection and person to person transmission.33–36 Compared with IM injection, the IN vaccination can elicit not only comparable systemic immunity but also additional pathogen-specific mucosal immunity, resulting in a first line of defense against the virus invasion.34–36 In our st...

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

      Our study has several limitations: First, the observational, retrospective nature of this study of patient EHR data could introduce case selection biases, over representation of symptomatic testing, reporting and follow up issues. However, because we compared the different cohort populations all from the TriNetX dataset, these issues should not substantially affect the relative risk analyses. Second, patients in the TriNetX EHR database are those who had medical encounters with healthcare systems contributing to the TriNetX Platform and do not necessarily represent the entire US population. Therefore, results from the TriNetX platform need to be validated in other populations. Third, both the Omicron and Delta cohorts in our study were defined based on CDC’s national genomic sequence surveillance and not by variant identification in individual patients. Therefore, the Omicron cohort likely contained a few infections with the Delta variant. However, our findings of reduced disease severity in the Omicron cohort compared to the Delta cohort are consistent with findings from Africa(2), Scotland(3), and England(4) that were based on individual genomic sequences. The fact that no reduction in severe disease frequency was observed between the two Delta cohorts further suggest that the differences resulted from inherent properties of the variant itself. Moreover the increase in severity outcomes for the Delta-2 compared to the Delta cohort, if anything, points to waning immunity fro...

      Strengths and limitations: Our research has several strengths which add to the validity of our findings. The mixed methods design allowed for the triangulation of data across data sources. The evaluation was conducted across several sites and the large number of staff and patients sampled increase the generalisability of findings. The evaluation team was multidisciplinary, which facilitated triangulation and interpretation. However, limitations should be noted. Several patient groups were underrepresented in the survey when compared to national onboarding data (see results section). In addition, the response rate for the patient survey was relatively low (17.5%) so some impact of selection bias cannot be ruled out. Findings might not be representative of all patient groups and experiences; such as those not referred, who declined or disengaged from the service. The analysis of experience and engagement across patient groups could have been subject to false positives due to the number of comparisons made, although a more stringent p-value was used (p<.01) in reporting significant results. When making comparisons between patient groups, the sample size of several groups was relatively small (e.g. patients aged over 80 years). Qualitative interviews with patients focused on experiences of the service more broadly and not necessarily inequalities, so much of our analysis draws on staff perspectives or patient survey data. Future research: There is little published literature on t...

      Herein damaged lung gas exchange function34 and capillary diffusion limitation35 have been demonstrated. While using contrast agents might be less feasible in pediatric patients, results of 129Xe MRI in adults tie up with the findings of this first LF-MRI study in children and adolescents. In contrast to the consensus to date, assuming less severe Covid-19 infections and sequelae in younger patients, our study demonstrates widespread functional lung alterations are present in children and adolescents. This expands the understanding of pediatric post-acute Covid-19 disease, with the relevance of our findings even increasing as SARS-CoV-2 incidence is rising in most countries.36 Pathophysiology of acute and post-acute pathology of Covid-19 partly originates from direct endothelial damage, local inflammation and prothrombotic milieu.14,37-39 A proposed mechanism is the ACE2-mediated entry of SARS-CoV-2, which allows the virus to directly invade endothelial cells.14,40 This may explain manifestations such as pulmonary microangiopathy and widespread capillary microthrombi seen in autopsies from patients who died from Covid-1914 and fibrotic-like consolidations found in computed tomography.33 Previously described13 persisting signs of inflammatory processes could not be confirmed in our study.

      Because of the aforementioned limitations, calculation of such fold changes for AstraZeneca and Moderna were not possible. However, it is worthwhile to compare their neutralisation titres two weeks post-second dose relative to the Pfizer vaccine samples. Across all three variants, we did not find any significant difference between Pfizer and Moderna vaccines by 2nd week post second dose of the vaccines (Supplementary Table S1). ANOVA and Linear Mixed Models (lm and lmer) analyses were used to investigate the interactions of age, sex, vaccine, and day post vaccination/booster with neutralising antibody titres to the three different virus variants (Supplementary Text S1). One-way and two-way ANOVA analyses showed that, for all vaccines (Pfizer, Moderna and AstraZeneca), day post vaccination/booster and virus variant were the main contributors to differences in neutralising antibody responses, while age and sex did not have significant effects. Based on ANOVA analysis there was no significant difference in neutralising titres based on age or sex for any of the vaccines (Supplementary Tables S2 & S3; Figure 2A-C). However, based on Linear Mixed Models (lm) analysis, younger individuals tended to have higher neutralising antibody titres (Supplementary Tables S4 & S5; Figure 3A-C). The titres were dependent on the vaccine, day post-vaccination and variant (p<0.001) and to an extent the age where antibody titres in young showed statistically significant difference when compared to t...

      The trial has limitations: the complexity of blinding treatments with different routes of administration and the need to initiate the trial very rapidly led to choose an open-labelled design. The trial did not target patients at the early phase of the disease nor include arms testing anti-inflammatory agents that could be used as part of the SoC in any arm. In addition, the trial was performed in the early phase of the COVID-19 pandemics and the SoC underwent substantial changes over time, adapting to knowledge acquisition, especially regarding the use of corticosteroids in COVID-19.

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

      Our study has several strengths and limitations. A strength of our study is the relatively large and unselected study cohort recruited during the first and second pandemic waves in Norway. The time for the antibody test was related to the PCR test, and not the onset of symptoms. Another strength is the longitudinal design with a relatively long follow-up time. Validated serology assays were used, and the participants answered the questionnaire on the same day as the serum sampling. A limitation of our study is that changes in antibody levels above the assay’s upper limit value 10 Index could not be determined, but it is probably in the group with low antibody levels that significant changes will appear. Direct comparison of the current study’s results with those of other studies is difficult because assays targeting different antigens are used in the available studies [10]. Further, differences in study populations, severity of illness, and frequency of antibody sampling make comparisons across studies challenging [31]. In our study, the same assay was used for all participants and as a quality control, all PCR-participants with detectable antibodies and all PCR+ participants with low levels of antibodies were retested with a second assay. Using two different assays was considered useful in low seroprevalence countries like Norway because of the possibility of false-positive tests [14]. The use of a self-reported questionnaire may be considered a limitation of the study becau...

      Study Limitations: This study has several limitations. The study has a relatively small sample size of 56 with most responses from the United States, specifically providers practicing in urban settings in Pennsylvania which limits its generalizability. As it was part of a broader focused study also assessing therapist considerations as well as use of the socially interactive robotic platform Flo, survey questions were not targeting the physiatrist cohort directly and more targeted questions could have been used. The chosen statistical analysis, using the method provided by Liddell, is a test of marginal homogeneity, which ignores the subjects who fall on the diagonal of a contingency table (did not change their value over the condition boundary; ex: used telepresence before and during the pandemic). As such, some portion of the data is not considered when testing significance. Despite these limitations, our research provides insight on how physiatrists responded to the pandemic with greater use of telemedicine, of the perceived capabilities of currently used telemedicine methods, and physiatrists disposition to implementing telemedicine post-pandemic.

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

      Lower participation among Hispanic individuals is consistent with observations in other outreach efforts [19806848] and is a limitation of the convenience survey design. Additionally, the Hispanic population in Colorado, as in many other states, had higher incidence of COVID-19 infections, hospitalizations, and death [4, 25-28], which may explain why they are more likely to be identified through the EHR. A key strength to this study is our ability to leverage an existing, living resource in the CCPM Biobank and survey engine to assess the health and wellbeing of our participants in ways that are not highlighted by the EHR. Further, because participants consent to re-contact, we have the opportunity to follow up with sub-populations within our cohort to collect additional information and monitor outcomes such as re-infection and vaccine uptake. Although our overall response to the survey was sizeable, we acknowledge that the composition of the underlying patient population at UCHealth who enrolled in the Biobank, and differential response to the survey may have introduced some bias and limited the generalizability of our results.

      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.

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

      One limitation of our work is not knowing the level of protective immunity of those who are currently vaccinated; however, even with three doses, there have been cases of viral infection. Dose reinforcements in countries such as England and Israel with a four-dose regimen raise doubts as to whether they will solve the situation of viral recrudescence for new VOCs in circulation22,23. It is important to acknowledge the limitations of these vaccines and to urgently develop new vaccines to emergent VOCs, as is the case of the vaccine for Influenza; going through new doses of the same vaccines is “more of the same”. Measures to control the use of face masks, social distancing, and crowd avoidance continue to be effective, but these need to be combined with new immunogens that prevent viral infection (an elementary concept for the approval of vaccines for widespread use).
