Summary: Research suggests that prenatal vaccination against COVID-19 is safe and does not increase the risk of adverse delivery and neonatal outcomes. This study examined the associations between COVID-19 vaccination during pregnancy and various outcomes, including birthweight, gestational age, blood loss at delivery, Caesarean delivery, and Neonatal Intensive Care Unit admission. The findings indicate that there is no significant association between prenatal COVID-19 vaccination and these outcomes.

Summary: A study conducted in New York City found that during 2020, people with HIV had a nearly 30% higher risk of COVID-19 hospitalization and death compared to those without HIV. Among individuals with HIV, certain groups such as women, black, Hispanic/Latino, Native American, and multiracial individuals had elevated rates of adverse COVID-19 outcomes. Factors such as low CD4 count and the presence of non-HIV-related underlying conditions were strongly associated with the risk of COVID-19 hospitalization and death among people with HIV.

Summary: The COVID-19 pandemic had a significant impact on the Citi Bike system and subway system in New York City, with bikeshare usage almost returning to normal while subway ridership remaining substantially below pre-COVID levels. The bikeshare system was found to provide resilience to the overall transportation system during disasters when public transit is considered dangerous or disrupted.

Summary: This study investigated the relationship between SARS-CoV-2 infection during pregnancy and perinatal complications in the Bronx, New York, during the four major waves of the COVID-19 pandemic. It was found that, despite the higher infectiousness of the Omicron variant, the preterm birth rate was lower during the Omicron wave compared to the original wave and the Alpha wave.

Summary: This study explores the impact of the delivery city phenomenon on modern cities and urban planning. The results show that the phenomenon has changed the geographical sense and role of actors, and has implications for social and spatial infrastructure, technological development, and sustainability. The study is meaningful for understanding modern cities centered around delivery services and contributing to sustainable urban planning.

Summary: Based on data from New York City between January 2020 and April 2020, a 28-day lag was found between reduced subway use and the decline of COVID-19 growth. A cross-sectional analysis revealed that areas with lower income, higher percentage of non-White/Hispanic individuals, and more essential workers had increased mobility during the pandemic. It was also observed that socially disadvantaged groups were at higher risk for COVID-19 infection and faced challenges in fully engaging in social distancing measures.

Summary: The study found a 28-day lag between reduced subway use and the end of exponential growth of COVID-19 cases in New York City. Sociodemographic factors were associated with higher COVID-19 incidence, suggesting that socially disadvantaged individuals are at increased risk and lack privilege to fully engage in social distancing measures.

Summary: This study explored the demographic and obstetric differences in birthrates during the COVID-19 pandemic lockdown in New York, using electronic health records from a large hospital network. The results showed a 22.85% decrease in births compared to the same period the previous year. The decline in birthrates was primarily attributed to individuals of higher socioeconomic status.

Summary: Suctioning of newborns immediately after birth is only recommended if the airway is obstructed. This study aimed to investigate the use of suctioning during newborn resuscitation and its association with newborn characteristics and heart rate responses. The results showed that suctioning was performed more frequently than recommended, and in some cases, it resulted in significant heart rate changes.
