Summary: The COVID-19 pandemic has changed the characteristics of emergency hospitalizations due to respiratory diseases, leading to a higher proportion of severe patients and poorer prognosis. It is important to pay more attention to non-COVID-19 emergency patients during the pandemic.

Summary: During the early COVID-19 pandemic in Uganda, travel restrictions impacted the demand for and access to care for pregnant women and newborns. A study in a rural Ugandan newborn unit found that during the pandemic, there was a decrease in admissions, older age on admission for patients born outside the facility, an increase in admissions with birth asphyxia, and higher mortality rates compared to before the pandemic. Patients born outside the facility had a higher relative increase in mortality during the pandemic. This was likely due to disruptions in maternal and newborn healthcare caused by lockdowns and transportation restrictions.

Summary: This study investigated the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on patients with intracerebral hemorrhage (ICH). The results showed changes in the characteristics and outcomes of ICH patients during the pandemic, including increased age, a history of ischemic stroke, shorter time from symptom onset to admission, higher blood pressure, higher fasting blood glucose, larger hematoma volume, and more common deep ICH and intraventricular hemorrhage. Furthermore, the pandemic was associated with an increased risk of pulmonary infection, decreased likelihood of 3-month good outcome, and increased mortality.

Summary: The study found that during the COVID-19 pandemic, radiological diagnosis of AA was more frequent, there was a higher percentage of patients receiving conservative management, and open appendicectomies were preferred in operative management. Intra-operative findings showed more abscess formation and free fluid in the COVID period, and there was a significantly higher re-attendance rate due to appendicitis-related issues.

Summary: The COVID-19 pandemic had a significant impact on oncological clinical trials, with a major decrease in new patient accruals in the early stages, followed by a gradual recovery. Academically sponsored trials experienced a more pronounced decline, and racial disparities were observed among patients taken off trial.

Summary: During the first wave of the COVID-19 pandemic, childhood asthma outcomes improved, with fewer acute episodes, improved asthma control, and better lung function. Children with asthma did not have an increased risk of lower respiratory tract infections, febrile episodes, emergency visits, or hospitalizations during the pandemic compared to non-asthmatic controls, but there was an increased risk of upper respiratory tract infections. The findings suggest that environmental control and improved treatment adherence may have contributed to the improved outcomes in children with asthma during the pandemic.

Summary: The study aimed to investigate the mental health and burnout among frontline and critical care healthcare workers who were caring for COVID-19 patients. A cohort study was conducted in hospitals with COVID-19 patients, and it was found that healthcare workers experienced high levels of burnout and had moderate mental health. Differences were observed in emotional exhaustion, personal accomplishment, depersonalization, satisfaction, and mental health during the COVID-19 pandemic. A positive correlation was established between emotional exhaustion and factors such as the number of patients, workload, concern for health, and workplace stress. The number of healthcare workers experiencing high levels of emotional exhaustion and depersonalization decreased by one-third at the end of the third wave. Providing psychological support for healthcare workers is essential for preserving their health and well-being when they experience high levels of emotional exhaustion and occupational stress.

Summary: The study found that fear of COVID-19 during pregnancy is associated with food insecurity, ethnicity, geographic location, history of anxiety prior to pregnancy, chronic health condition, pre-pregnancy BMI, parity, and stage of pregnancy at enrollment. Higher fear of COVID-19 is linked to increased risk of depression and anxiety, as well as reduced infant birthweight and gestational age.

Summary: The study findings indicate that checklists are most effective in lower clinical risk groups, while teach-back is most effective in higher clinical risk groups. The combination of teach-back and checklist has the greatest impact on reducing readmission rates for high-risk patients.
