Summary: Individuals with COVID-19, even those who were not hospitalized during the acute phase of the infection, are at an increased long-term risk of various cardiovascular disorders. A study using national healthcare databases found that beyond the first 30 days after infection, individuals with COVID-19 have an elevated risk of developing cerebrovascular disorders, heart diseases, and other cardiovascular complications. The risk increases depending on the care setting during the acute phase.

Summary: In this study, the authors estimated the risks and one-year burdens of gastrointestinal disorders following SARS-CoV-2 infection. The results showed that people with COVID-19 had an increased risk of gastrointestinal disorders, which were correlated with the severity of the disease. These findings highlight the importance of post-covid care in addressing gastrointestinal health and diseases.

Summary: This study is the first to characterize post-COVID-19 syndrome and identify risk factors for clinical and psychological sequelae of COVID-19 in two distinct cohorts of patients in China. The results showed that 61.4% of COVID-19 patients reported at least one symptom and 8.8% had depressive symptoms at the 17-month follow-up.

Summary: By utilizing short-term forecast and long-term forecast models, as well as a hybrid forecast model that combines both, it is possible to more accurately predict the development of the COVID-19 pandemic. Early enforcement of curfews and planned lockdown measures can effectively reduce the spread of the virus. Vaccination has also proven to be effective in reducing infection rates.

Summary: The experimental results demonstrate that donations to diverse social concerns are partially substituted by donations to the Covid-19 fund. Women and individuals taking actions against the pandemic and poverty tend to donate more, while those fearing risks from poverty donate less.

Summary: This study investigates the factors influencing the accuracy of long-term COVID-19 forecasts. By analyzing diverse models in the CDC repository, the study identifies the key factors associated with prediction accuracy across different projection horizons. The results suggest that models incorporating the physics of transmission, projecting human behavioral reactions, and resetting state variables can improve long-term predictions. Additionally, a simple forecasting model that incorporates these features demonstrates comparable accuracy to the best models in the CDC set.

Summary: The study highlights the significant impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on the long-term travel behavior of individuals. It reveals that people are more willing to use sustainable modes of transportation and choose public transportation after receiving the vaccine. The fear of contracting the virus and trust in preventive measures are key factors influencing mode choice. Strategies need to be implemented to enhance the safety and attractiveness of existing sustainable modes of transportation.

Summary: The COVID-19 pandemic has disrupted colorectal cancer screening, which may lead to increased disparities in outcomes. This study uses two CISNET models to simulate the impact of ongoing screening disruptions on long-term colorectal cancer outcomes. The results show that delays, regimen switching, and discontinuation of screening can result in significant reductions in the expected benefits of screening. Unequal recovery of screening following the pandemic could widen disparities in outcomes, highlighting the importance of equitable recovery.

Summary: The study aimed to determine the characteristics and outcomes of patients undergoing surgery during the COVID-19 pandemic in a third level reference hospital in Mexico. The results showed that patients with COVID-19 infection had higher postoperative morbidity and mortality rates, with significant associations with respiratory, infection, transfusion, renal function, and other complications.

Summary: This study aimed to explore the impact of COVID-19 and the pandemic period on patients with chronic tinnitus. The results showed that tinnitus loudness, annoyance, concentration difficulties, THI, and HQ scores increased significantly during the pandemic years. Among the COVID-19-positive patients, tinnitus symptoms worsened, while in the COVID-19-negative group, some patients reported improvement in tinnitus symptoms.
