This well-designed and written study concludes that the hospital impact of COVID-19 likely influences patients to delay a trip to the hospital when experiencing these common diseases.
I'm very glad to see this: "authors must prepare their articles according to the appropriate international publication recommendations, including the STROBE Statement, CONSORT 2010 Statement, PRISMA 2009 Checklist, and CARE Checklist – 2016: Information for writing a case report." I wonder if this is actually enforced?
Although this study had a small sample size (N=33), the question is an important one, the methods are solid and well-described, and the full text is freely available online.
The author's point that the combating anti-vax misinformations is due ". . . in part because health agencies either underestimate or deny the reach of anti-science forces, and are ill-equipped to counter it." is certainly borne out in my experience at a large state health agency. No effort was spared in staying away from statements that were too "controversial," lest we trigger an ugly call from an incensed legislator, resulting in boring and largely toothless prevention messaging.
A highly powered, population-based study (N=~16,000) with a clear dose-response pattern. The abstract does not indicate if they controlled for different "levels" or aspects of paleolithic-type diets, but that would be good to know. Likewise, the abstract does not mention any effects on co--occurring diabetes & HTN. May be worth seeking out the full text.
What a concise, clear, and accessible summary of an article presented in this issue regarding psychological stress and hypertension! In very few paragraphs, the author has captured and explained the manny biological, behavioral, and methodological challenges involved in understanding this risk factor.
I do not understand this sentence, the last in the abstract: ". . . there is an urgent need to develop evidence-based treatment methods that do not affect the severity of COVID-19 infection and effectively manage these chronic diseases in people with COVID-19."
