      Results from LimitationRecognizer: We detected the following sentences addressing limitations in the study:
      Limitations of our study were based mostly on subjective interpretations about the feasibility. As our analysis compares representativeness with the population, it is impossible to directly compare the representativeness of samples recruited with mobile phone-based with different recruitment methods. Another perceived limitation was the population’s distrust in receiving non-official and unexpected phone messages. Moreover, we can not account for the real number of delivery messages due to limitations as internet failure, missing mobile phone numbers, or interrupted plan services, especially in the low-income population. We believe there are many potential applications of mobile phone-based advertising for researchers, governments, and community-based organizations who wish to learn about the populations they serve. Besides, we believe that these institutions should previously officially advertise the target population to promote a wider adhesion and confidence to respond to the survey.

      Results from LimitationRecognizer: We detected the following sentences addressing limitations in the study:
      However, our study is not without limitations. First, in the absence of a national testing strategy during the study period (September 2021), the capturing of COVID-19 infections may not be standardised nationally, although testing remained high. Second, the lack of adequate genomic surveillance in Malaysia rendered impossible to ascertain variant-specific vaccine effectiveness, and their variation, if any, over time. Our study period also preceded the detection of the Omicron variant of concern. Moving forward, we recommend that the monitoring of vaccine effectiveness over time remains prioritised to guide policy decisions on the rollout of booster dose(s). To build on our study findings, monitoring of effectiveness for other vaccine platforms used in Malaysia and among adolescents, which were first offered the COVID-19 vaccines in September 2021, should be initiated. Genomic surveillance efforts should also be strengthened to enable investigation into variant-specific vaccine effectiveness. Finally, as booster doses are rolled out, the performance and safety of the booster doses should be assessed to furnish data needs for policy calibration. In several studies conducted elsewhere, early findings on booster doses have been encouraging.29,30

      The potential for false negative reporting is a limitation of the study: i) screening for a at least 2 or 3 gene targets instead of 1 (AS1E) would decrease the likelihood of a false negative. ii) RNaseP detection was only performed in 1 group per scheduled testing day. It is possible that some saliva samples may be lacking an adequate concentration of buccal cells for each group, indicating poor sample collection.

      Results from LimitationRecognizer: We detected the following sentences addressing limitations in the study:
      There are several limitations to our review. First, since there was little to no information regarding the dominant SARS-CoV-2 strain among the studies, circulating SARS-CoV-2 strains were not accounted for in our review. mRNA vaccine VE against SARS-CoV-2 infection is decreasing with increasing report of breakthrough infections 4, 5, 14. This is likely due to both waning immunity occurring months after vaccinations, and an emergence of SARS-CoV-2 variants which become predominant during the study period. Several SARS-CoV-2 variants harboring mutations are associated with decreased mRNA VE against infection and/or severe COVID-19 22. Therefore, changes in circulating SARS-CoV-2 strains might have affected VE in the “middle” and “late” studies. Second, only U.S.-based studies were included. Our review focused on these studies for several reasons: 1) the initiation and progression of vaccination campaigns varied between countries; 2) some countries applied a modified vaccine regimen (e.g. prolonged interval between 1st and 2nd dose); and 3) the predominant circulating SARS-CoV-2 strain differs between countries. Future reviews should broaden scope to include studies conducted outside the U.S. Third, definition of VE (e.g. 7 vs 14 days after second dose, hospitalization vs death) and study design (e.g. test-negative, cohort registry) varied between the studies. Due to the above limitations, we did not pool VE data nor perform meta-analysis to avoid potential bias. Fourth, we onl...

      Results from LimitationRecognizer: We detected the following sentences addressing limitations in the study:
      Study limitations included single-arm, nonrandomized, open-label design with external historical controls, and between-group imbalance. 34 of 347 screened patients were enrolled (10%). The second, an open-label RCT compared the ARB telmisartan and SOC vs. SOC alone in two hospitalized COVID-19 patients in Argentina up to 4 days post symptoms onset (earlier than our trial) [14]. The primary outcome was CRP at days 5 and 8. In an interim analysis, 40 telmisartan/SOC vs. 38 SOC were compared. Mean CRP was significantly lower in telmisartan/SOC vs. SOC groups at days 5 (24.2 vs. 51.1 mg/L [p<0.05]) and 8 (9.0 vs. 41.6 mg/L [p<0.05]). Median time to discharge was shorter with telmisartan, 9 vs. 15 days (p=0.01) and 30-day mortality trend favored telmisartan (5.26 vs. 11.76%, p=0.41); there were no differences for ICU admission, mechanical ventilation, and a composite of ICU admission, mechanical ventilation, and death; fewer patients receiving telmisartan needed oxygen at day 15 (2/4 vs. 13/14, p<0.05). No telmisartan related AEs occurred and BP was similar. 82 of 185 screened patients were enrolled (56% [higher than our trial]). The third, an open-label RCT compared the ARB losartan and SOC vs. SOC alone in 31 SHARP (San Diego) hospitalized patients with COVID-19 with mild hypoxia (requiring </= 3 L oxygen) [15]. The primary measurement was a composite of mechanical ventilation/death. No significant primary or secondary differences were found: the composite endpoint occurred in 1...</blockquote>

      Some caveats need to be acknowledged. The most important limitation of this analysis is that the large trials may not necessarily be a perfect gold standard. No single clinical study can claim to possess the perfect truth, no matter how well it is conducted and how well it is protected from bias. The CIs of the large trials cannot exclude very small benefits on survival – or small harms. These trials have also shown no benefit also on other outcomes. However, small benefits (or harms) for these outcomes are also not possible to exclude with perfect certainty. Moreover, beneficial effects for some treatments may still exist in circumscribed, special circumstances, with different dosing regimens, and in specific patient subgroups that may have been outside the eligibility criteria of the large RCTs or may have been under-represented in these large RCTs. However, similar concerns and speculative counter-arguments may be raised almost in any clinical topic, especially by those who still believe that a treatment may have merits despite its poor performance in very large trials.61 It should also be acknowledged that not all guidelines have removed these treatments from the list of interventions that they recommend. Remdesivir is probably the most notable example in this regard. It is not recommended by the European Respiratory Society62 and the World Health Organization has issued a conditional recommendation against its use.63 Conversely, the US National Institutes of Health (NIH)...

      Results from LimitationRecognizer: We detected the following sentences addressing limitations in the study:
      One limitation could be that our data was skewed with respect to the protected features. As we are using neural networks, different distributions of the protected label can give significantly different results for the adversary model. This has previously been discussed [16], as using balanced data was found to have a much stronger effect on adversarial training. Thus, future experiments would greatly benefit from balanced training data. With respect to debiasing against ethnicity, one limitation is the ambiguity of certain categories, namely, “Unknown,” “Mixed,” and “Other.” In our experiments, we kept these categories in order to maximize the number of cases (especially COVID-19 positive cases) used in training. This may have impacted the adversary network’s ability to confidently differentiate between different ethnicities, hindering its influence on the main network. Bias may also still exist with respect to data missingness. Although we used population median imputation to “fill-in” missing values, the nature of the missing data may have conveyed important information, or reflected biases such as differences in access, practice, or recording protocols. Another limitation is the difficulty in understanding how social, behavioral, and genetic factors independently and collectively impact outcomes. For example, consistent genetic effects across racial groups can result in genetic variants with a common biological effect; however, that effect can also be modified by both envi...

      Limitations and future directions: A limitation of this study can be its representativeness since data was collected from a single medical school consisting of two campuses. Also, the sleep quality analysis added an additional assessment, PSQI, that was not available for the first year. Future research should be directed at expanding the medical student population surveyed across multiple universities to better generalize results. Furthermore, studies should incorporate medical students in years three and four to provide data that spans the entire medical school training.

      Limitations included absence of placebo control and published mitigation strategies to reduce QTc prolongation (e.g., excluding baseline QTc prolongation and co-administration of additional QTc prolonging medications [100% received azithromycin]), single-center design, small sample size, and baseline imbalance. Prolonged QTc was also reported in two additional retrospective case series of hospitalized COVID-19 patients treated with HC with or without azithromycin. In the small French series of 40 patients, baseline QTc>460 msec was an exclusion. 93% developed some QTc prolongation; 36% developed more severe QTc prolongation (more commonly with concomitant azithromycin [33% vs. 5%, p=0.03]). No ventricular arrhythmias including torsades de pointes occurred. Seven patients (17.5%) stopped medication due to adverse events, ECG changes, or acute renal failure [15]. In the Boston series in 90 patients, combined therapy was associated with a larger median increase in the QT interval than HC monotherapy (23 vs. 5.5 msec, p=0.03), resulting in 13% vs. 3% of patients, respectively, having QTc change >/= 60 msec. The risk of QTc prolongation to >/=500 msec was similar (21% vs. 19%). The authors implied a baseline QTc prolongation exclusion. Ten patients (11%) discontinued medication because of adverse events (nausea, hypoglycemia, and one case of delayed torsades de pointes) [16]. None of these series had control arms, so the relative risk of QTc prolongation remained elusive. Yet, it ...

      Results from LimitationRecognizer: We detected the following sentences addressing limitations in the study:
      Additional limitations to this study are the low numbers of SARS-CoV-2 infections during the Delta to Omicron transition period, and that we used a proxy marker for Omicron and not whole genome sequencing, as only limited sequencing is feasible in our setting. A proxy marker on routine diagnostic testing is likely to result in some variant misclassification, which is evidenced by the high rate of reinfections seen in RTD cases. Attempts to narrow the definition of RTD were not able to resolve this. In addition, this analysis like many others, only compares disease severity between Omicron and Delta. Little is known of the severity of Omicron when compared to the ancestral strain and other non-Delta VOCs.

      Results from LimitationRecognizer: We detected the following sentences addressing limitations in the study:
      Key study limitations included the following: (1) Our study was observational. We addressed predicted confounders by adjusting for covariates likely to impact results; however, unmeasured confounders (e.g., COVID-19 prevention behavior, vaccine preferences, varying infection rates/exposures, and prevalent variants) may have influenced results. Lack of randomization required standardization of the period during which infection rates and VE were quantified. (2) We did not complete peak antibody assays post-primary vaccination precluding comparisons over time. (3) Analyses of Groups 3-5 were limited by small sample sizes. (4) Significant baseline variable group differences included immunosuppression (higher in Group 5, possibly lowering antibody responses in that group), prior COVID-19 infection rates (higher in Groups 3 and 4, possibly increasing antibody responses in those groups), and time from primary vaccination (higher in Groups 1 and 2, possibly lowering antibody responses in those groups). (5) The study design (with addition of the boosted group) and statistical analysis plan (primary analysis focused on subpopulation of surveyed participants) were modified after initiation of enrollment; however, these changes were prespecified prior to seeing primary outcome data. (6) The boosted group included varying primary vaccination-boosting combinations although BNT162b2-BNT162b2 was predominant (67.9%); and insufficient follow-up time to assess boosting’s effects on VE.

      Results from LimitationRecognizer: We detected the following sentences addressing limitations in the study:
      A limitation of our study is the lack of measurement of neutralization titers against the emerging Omicron variant. However, in this context it has to be taken into account that in healthy subjects a significant increase in the neutralizing response against this variant has been observed after the third dose[37,38]. In conclusion, we demonstrated a lower prevalence of seroconversion among immunosuppressed patients compared to HCW. The lowest humoral response was reported among patients treated with anti-B-cell therapies. However, T-cell response results showed more encouraging data, suggesting a possible benefit of the vaccination due to cellular immunity, particularly in light of the observation that T-cell epitopes are shared among wild type and Omicron variant[39]. Finally, data on the third dose indicate a potential immunological benefit and highlights HM as the major fragile group.

      Results from LimitationRecognizer: We detected the following sentences addressing limitations in the study:
      There are also some limitations in this study. First of all, for cohort 1 (the training set), the patient population we studied was mainly hospitalized patients, and they generally exhibited more severe symptoms and therefore had a higher mortality rate than the general population, which may have caused some bias in our predictive model in the general population. Second, the characteristics of the cohort may vary performance of models and its ability to be validated. For example, the model’s performance was slightly lower in cohort 2 than cohort 1, because the structure of the two cohorts, such as age distribution, sex ratio, mortality rate, etc. is different. In addition, although we adopt functionally similar features, the differences between these features may also be responsible for the difference in model performance between cohorts. Moreover, since most of the clinical features adopted in this study were missing to varying degrees, the imputed data were affected by other data, which may affect the accuracy of the predictive model. Finally, COVID-19 pandemics are often accompanied by surges in patient numbers, resulting in difficulties in collecting all the required clinical features data, which will limit the application of our predictive model.

      Results from LimitationRecognizer: We detected the following sentences addressing limitations in the study:
      Our study is subject to limitations. First, like all observational SARS-CoV-2 studies, we could not implement routine universal SARS-CoV-2 screening to identify all patients with SARS-CoV-2 infection. This limitation is problematic especially for prognostic analyses, because of uncertainty regarding the proportion of included patients being asymptomatic at diagnosis and their COVID-related symptom burden at the time of diagnosis. The observation that median days to hospitalization after estimated date of infection did not differ significantly by HIV status provides some support that trajectories of disease progression were similar for both groups. Second, to reduce bias in our analyses due to missing records, varying standards of care, and referral indication, individuals were excluded if part of the COVID-19 care cascade occurred outside of UCSD Health. The number of excluded patients is unlikely to alter the conclusions based on included patients. Third, conclusions regarding the effect of HIV infection on ICU admission and hospital mortality should be interpreted cautiously because of the small number of ICU and mortality events in the study sample. Fourth, our PWH cohort generally had well-controlled HIV infection, with only 7% of those tested having AIDS and 9% a pVL above 200 copies/mL (Supplementary Table 4). Hence, our findings cannot be generalized to PWH populations with higher proportions of unsuppressed viremia. Similarly, we did not assess nadir CD4 counts, which...

      Results from LimitationRecognizer: We detected the following sentences addressing limitations in the study:
      According to custody health officials, incarcerated individuals could ask custody staff or medical personnel to exchange their soiled or torn mask for a new one without limitation. However, our findings suggest that in practice, access to new masks was extremely limited and highly variable across individuals. Relatedly, and perhaps consequently, most incarcerated participants felt unable to protect themselves from COVID-19. Our findings emphasize the need for systematic implementation and oversight of mask availability and distribution in these settings. Both counties surveyed here recognized the importance of jail de-densification to COVID-19 control and subsequently extended California’s emergency bail schedule for lesser charges, leading to population reductions of up to 45% [30, 31]. However, many who remained in custody experienced severe hindrances to their cases due to COVID-19, citing substantial delays and cancellations of court dates. These findings correspond to those of a recent investigation into the backlog of cases in California that has been exacerbated by COVID-19, which found that over a quarter of unsentenced jail residents in the two counties we studied had been in custody for more than a year awaiting arraignment, trial, or sentencing [32]. Beyond delays, our survey respondents also reported limits on court attendance, not only of witnesses but also of family and community members. As highlighted by our CAB, such attendance is essential for participatory ...

      Results from LimitationRecognizer: We detected the following sentences addressing limitations in the study:
      There are a number of limitations to these data and analyses. First, Ct values report viral RNA copies and do not necessarily capture infectiousness. While we chose a Ct value cutoff of 30 as a proxy for infectiousness13–17, this threshold should not be considered a perfect predictor of infectiousness. Second, the Ct values reported here are from samples that each combined anterior nares and oropharyngeal swabs and were performed on the Roche Cobas platform; results may differ by anatomical site and by PCR platform24–27. Third, this relatively small sample set was obtained in a population that is not representative of the general population. The study population of working individuals is younger and generally healthier, with high vaccination coverage, than to the general population, thus infections in this group may have a shorter clearance phase on average than in the general population. Furthermore, this cohort is under intensive testing, behavior protocols, and case-finding efforts; individuals detected due to symptom onset or concern for contacts may be detected earlier in infection than would be typical in the community. While results from a Japanese study suggest similar viral kinetics in a distinct population21, additional analyses from larger cohorts and across additional demographic groups are urgently needed. Finally, not all infected individuals were serially tested until obtaining a negative test result. As some of the trajectories reported here are right censored...

      Results from LimitationRecognizer: We detected the following sentences addressing limitations in the study:
      Our study had limitations. The transmission rate of SARS-CoV-2 may vary according to different durations of exposure. In this study, we selected 6 hours of non-contact transmission to simulate the scenarios of staying with an infected index patient within the same facility for a routine business day and on medium-haul flights. It would be worthwhile to further compare the transmissibility of the Omicron and other variants after different durations of exposure in future studies. It would also be important to investigate the pathogenicity and transmissibility of the Omicron variant in additional animal models such as the hACE2-transgenic mouse and non-human primate models, as each of these animal models have their advantages and disadvantages in recapitulating human disease. In summary, the present study shows that despite comparatively lower pathogenicity than the Delta variant, the Omicron variant undoubtedly still causes obvious clinical effects, increased viral burdens and pro-inflammatory cytokines/chemokines, as well as histopathological damages in infected hosts. Taking into consideration the Omicron variant’s higher transmissibility than the already-highly transmissible Delta variant, our findings highlight the urgent need to find next-generation COVID-19 vaccines and broad-spectrum therapeutics, as well as to tighten non-pharmaceutical measures to reduce acute and chronic disease burden (long COVID) on the public and healthcare facilities.

      Results from LimitationRecognizer: We detected the following sentences addressing limitations in the study:
      We drew on the experience of other, clinical research teams operating in this environment, and adopted a pragmatic approach to study design, opting for an agile, scalable tool which allowed the capture of data which has clear limitations but nevertheless provides unique insight into mental health impacts on staff during a unique period of operational stress in the NHS. We identified the following principal limitations: Firstly, due to not collecting identifiable data within the surveys (to ensure anonymity), it was not possible to either link cases to allow for longitudinal analysis at the level of individuals, or establish exclusivity between cases, rendering the data collected effectively cross-sectional. Therefore, time (before, after and during the peak) were not entered together into the statistical analysis. Secondly, we do not have data on the current demographic and professional characteristics of the ICU staff population during the COVID-19 crisis, so we do not know how representative the current study is. Additionally, data on ethnicity was not collected as part of the survey, limiting the generalisability of the findings. Thirdly, the recruitment method leaves open the possibility that those with more severe mental health symptoms might be more - or less - likely to participate, thus leading to bias. Fourthly, this study uses self-report measures which only provide an estimate of prevalence; interview- based studies are required to establish the true prevalence of ...

      Results from LimitationRecognizer: We detected the following sentences addressing limitations in the study:
      There are several limitations to this study. First, a selection bias may limit the generalisability of our findings. This study was conducted at a single centre and a single country. ISRR can be affected by environmental factors of the vaccination centre and can occur in clusters or group settings.26 Therefore, the incidence rate of ISRR cannot be specified in a mass vaccination centre. Second, the possibility of underestimation of the incidence rate of IHSR and ISRR cannot be denied. The observation period after the administration of the vaccine was limited (mean observation time was 20 minutes: Supplementary method 1) due to the study design. Third, the sample size of the case with IHSR was smaller than planned due to the low incidence rate of IHSR in our study (Supplementary method 2). Therefore, our sample size of IHSR may not have statistical power to detect the factors that slightly increased the risk of IHSR with a low prevalence rate, such as atopic dermatitis, in the sensitivity analysis. We suggest that multicentre and multinational studies may complement the limitations of our study.

      Results from LimitationRecognizer: We detected the following sentences addressing limitations in the study:
      As is the case for all PCR-based genotyping methods, there are limitations to the utility of this RT-ddPCR assay. The example of ACG->ACA mutation in K417T illustrates that assay accuracy is subject to change with additional mutations. There is also no guarantee that the particular set of mutations of concern detected by the assay will continue to be mutations of concern in the future. However, direct targeting of those mutations of concern, rather than relying on larger-but-less-relevant genomic changes, increases the likelihood that the assay will continue to be useful to researchers and clinicians alike. Reliance on other changes like the 69-70 deletion increases the chances of false positives (as in the case of the SGTF-Delta specimen we identified) or false negatives (as in the case of the non-SGTF Omicron specimens that have been identified in several countries[50]). We have previously used RT-ddPCR to identify SARS-CoV-2 Alpha variant in clinical specimens, but here we expand both the number of mutational lineages that can be tracked with the assay and our understanding of how robust the assay is. It can accommodate a wide range of sample concentrations, coinfections, and other confounds, and still yields an accurate determination of SARS-CoV-2 mutations quickly enough to enable clinical decision-making.

      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 significantly 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. Again, the observed significant differences in COVID infection severity should hold in other populations as they were all obtained from the TriNetX dataset. Third, both the Omicron and Delta cohorts in our study were defined based on CDC’s national genomic sequence surveillance. 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 Africa3, Scotland4, and England5 that were based on genomic sequences, though this study specifically focused on children under 5 years of age. The fact that there were no differences between the two Delta cohorts yet significant differences between the Omicron and Delta cohorts further suggest that the differ...

      Results from LimitationRecognizer: We detected the following sentences addressing limitations in the study:
      However, the discrimination results were inferior than the one observed in the present analysis (0.847 [95% CI, 0.772-0.936]) and the study has several limitations: many risk predictor variables, hindering the applicability of the score and high incidence of missing variables [29]. Strengths and limitations: Our study used a large patients database to develop a risk score to predict the need for KRT in patients admitted with COVID-19. A major strength of the MMCD score is its simplicity; the use of objective parameters, which may reduce the variability; and easy availability, even in under-resourced settings. Then, the MMCD score may help clinicians to make a prompt and reasonable decision to optimize the management of COVID-19 patients with AKI and potentially reduce mortality. Additionally, our article strictly followed the TRIPOD recommendations [8]. This study has limitations. Indication and timing of initiation of the KRT may differ according to institutional protocols, and we did not collect information on patients who did not perform dialysis due to limited resources. Still, this has not affected the accuracy of the score. Additionally, as any other score, MMCD may not be directly generalized to populations from other countries. Furthermore, it was not possible to use the KDIGO (Kidney Disease: Improving Global Outcomes) classification for AKI due to the lack of data on previous serum creatinine of patients admitted to participating hospitals. Instead, we used the SOFA...

      During the COVID-19 pandemic, autopsy-driven research, using multimodal approaches, attempted at defining organ tropism of the virus and at unraveling organ-specific pathomechanisms 8,9,25,41-43, yet a critical and systematic study investigating the limitations of in situ detection of SARS-CoV-2 in autopsy tissues has not been performed. Looking into the discrepancy of results from studies using autopsy material to determine organ tropism and especially identification of organ-specific target cell types of SARS-CoV-2 for most organ systems led to conflicting results hampering research progress 3,8-10,44,45. For instance, published data include studies revealing direct infection of neurons by SARS-CoV-2 with substantial neuroinvasion 46, single infected cells in a subset of patients 25, but also the absence of virus and COVID-19-specific alterations 47. Validations are complicated by the use of various, often not well-evaluated antibodies in different studies and the lack of sufficient positive and negative controls. Here we determined the limitations of SARS-CoV-2 detection by IHC and thin section EM using a defined set of control tissues including FFPE highly susceptible human cell lines and autopsy tissues with expectable high SARS-CoV-2 viral load. Finally, we performed a multicenter study assessing how well IHC performs in detecting SARS-CoV-2 proteins in autopsy tissues. Assessment of a wide range of commercially available antibodies directed at SARS-CoV-2 proteins showe...

      Our analysis also has several limitations. First, we compared outcomes across waves as a proxy for the variant that dominated in each wave, and not in patients with genomically confirmed variants. Second, while health service pressures which impact disease outcomes are likely to be more similar at “equivalent wave periods”, identifying such “equivalent periods” across waves can be challenging. However, results were similar when using slightly different wave periods. Third, adjustment for comorbidities was limited to those algorithmically identified in the WCPHDC and does not include undiagnosed comorbidities and other important risk factors for poor COVID-19 outcomes such as obesity. Fourth, prior diagnosed infections substantially under-ascertain all prior infections, and while we addressed this by determining the likely impact of undiagnosed infections in wave four, this is based on assumptions. Fifth, we could not distinguish between admissions and deaths where the diagnosis of COVID-19 may have been incidental or contributory rather than causal. However, our main analysis focused on mortality and we found stronger protection of both wave four and vaccination against the more severe outcomes (severe hospitalization and/or death), suggesting that results are robust despite misclassification of admissions with incidental COVID-19. Nonetheless, a different clinical profile of hospitalized and deceased patients with COVID-19 has been reported, with less COVID-19 pneumonia and ...

      Results from LimitationRecognizer: We detected the following sentences addressing limitations in the study:
      Other limitations include the absence of vaccination status as a variable in this analysis. Only 5.5% of the population with a positive test from August 8, 2020, to March 18, 2021 reported vaccinations (n=90/1633) at time of data collection. Additionally, BU did not require reporting vaccination status in the spring of 2021, which further prevented this analysis from commenting on the interaction of vaccination status with cycle threshold values or symptom experience. Sequence data were not incorporated in this study, so the authors are unable to comment regarding variants of concern (VOC), including the later-to-appear Delta and Omicron variants, or the effect of vaccination on VOCs and viral load. Sequencing initiatives begun at BU in January 2021 established that most of the local spread was still wild type virus, with the Alpha variant emerging over the January – March 2021 timeframe in the local area. In conclusion, consistent with our hypothesis, PCR signal intensity was strongly associated with symptomatology. Those who presented with symptoms at the time of diagnosis had the lowest CT values, while those who remained asymptomatic throughout had the highest CT values. Because PCR signal intensity is a measure of viral load, and by extrapolation likely a measure of infectiousness, our data support the theory that asymptomatic patients are generally less infectious than symptomatic patients.

      Limitations: To our knowledge, no prior work has examined constructs of mental and physical health in SARS-CoV-2 while employing a case-control design matching participants on age, BMI, smoking status, and history of cardiopulmonary disease. As such, we have reasonable confidence that our observations are due to meaningful between-group differences in functional status, mood state, and leisure-time PA. Nevertheless, there are several limitations that need to be considered. First, the retrospective nature of the work limits our ability to know whether alterations in the observed outcomes were present before testing. Second, because the study sample was purposely limited to women, findings may not be generalizable to men. Third, since antibody testing was not performed, it is unknown if control participants might have unknowingly had a prior SARS-CoV-2 infection. Lastly, we acknowledge a relatively small sample size. However, given the strength of the reported effect sizes – we reached statistical significance across multiple measures. Future work should examine prospective, longitudinal changes in functional status, mood state, and leisure-PA in post-acute COVID-19 syndrome while taking into consideration the related impact on quality-of-life and objective measures of PA. Such information will prove useful in our collective understanding about the sequela of persistent symptoms that can undermine mental and physical health in post-acute COVID-19 syndrome. Conclusions: The pres...

      We also recognize some limitations due to the relatively small sample size of our population, and the possible heterogeneity of self-sampling done by patients at home that can lead to the existence of false negatives canine olfactory detection (which minimizes test sensitivity). In conclusion, these results confirm the high probability of a SARS-CoV-2 viral persistence at least for some Long COVID patients, possibly with virus actively replicating. It also shows the limited utility of serological tests made during Long COVID. Such conclusions are of major importance for the management of future Long COVID treatments trials. In addition, with a better characterization of the detected VOCs, an improvement of odor sampling methods and the development of point-of-care instruments, this detection by dogs could also help to implement scent-based tests for other major human pathogens.

      Strengths and limitations: With respect to the analysis of post-discharge COVID monitoring services our study is currently unique in its scope. We have made use of a national administrative hospital dataset, and have analysed almost 140,000 COVID-19 admissions in an effort to detect an impact of a national-scale roll out of post-discharge remote monitoring services. We have been pragmatic in our use of the available data, and have controlled for characteristics available to us. Nevertheless, there are several limitations which mean that our results should be interpreted with caution. We did not know which patients were enrolled onto a CVW, and so treated all patients as potentially having received the intervention where one was available at a hospital trust. We had no information about important clinical factors, for example: ICU admission, clinical readings (including oxygen saturation levels), and specific treatments received. The location to which patients were discharged (home, care home, and so on) was not known, and we also had no information about out-of-hospital deaths (and this during a period in which rates of out-of-hospital deaths had been persistently above long-term norms)39. We extracted data only on patients discharged alive, and so the impact (if any) of COVID-19 patients who died during their hospital stay has not been accounted for. Our analyses have assumed that these factors – which are likely to have been associated to a greater or lesser degree with eli...

      Results from LimitationRecognizer: We detected the following sentences addressing limitations in the study:
      This limitation can be well addressed with deep-learning based classification methods such as scANVI (Xu et al., 2021). The deep generative neural network can learn highly non-linear representations of each immune subset from the most finely-manually-annotated disease-specific scRNA-seq atlas and can leverage on the knowledge to classify new cells from the same disease in the same representation space. Nevertheless, overfitting can be a common issue for deep learning models, and expert knowledge is still required to keep the classification results in check. Thus, our strategy effectively consolidates the advantages of all three methods to annotate scRNA-seq data by 1) overcoming the subjectivity of manual annotation, 2) leveraging existing knowledge of cell phenotypes to quickly and accurately assign labels with a trained model, and 3) validating classified labels with biologically relevant markers. Besides integration of COVID-19 and HIV-1 PBMC data, we anticipate our integration strategy can be easily adapted for integration of scRNA-seq data from different tissues, organs, or diseases. While we highlighted the integration of manual, correlation-based, and deep-learning-based annotation methods, there is flexibility for the specific software used in each method. The software we used in this study, namely Seurat, SingleR and scANVI, are all publicly available and highly rated across multiple benchmarking studies (Abdelaal et al., 2019; Huang et al., 2021; Krzak et al., 2019)...

      Perhaps then, the experimental design of the DMS study is less sensitive to detecting immune evasion mutations of this type—an inconsistency that exposes limitations of DMS [32] and highlights the significance of testing the ability of immune (COVID-19 positive) sera to recognize new variants with real human samples and serological-based assays. Mutation S477N—that has emerged several times during the pandemic [31]—was found in one study to be resistant to neutralization by a panel of monoclonal antibodies, but by contrast, responds similarly to the WT when tested with convalescence (polyclonal) serum [33]—a result that aligns with the data of this study (Figure 2), once again underscoring the advantage of testing real patient sera to evaluate the antigenicity of new mutations. A recent study found lineage B.1.617.2 (Delta) to be associated with an increase in disease severity [34]. This variant also caused a higher rate of vaccine breakthrough cases (17.4% compared to 5.8% for all other variants) in Texas, with 8.4% of all COVID-19 cases occurring in fully vaccinated individuals [35]. In our study, the Delta and kappa variants (which share the L452R mutation) eluded vaccine and infection sera antibodies more than the WT in all cohorts except for critically ill patients (Figure 2). However, in vaccinated individuals, we observed a shift towards higher ODs when mutation K417N was added to the Delta variant mutations L452R and T478K to replicate the Delta Plus variant (B1.617.3...

      Limitation of the study: Our study focused on service utilization and may not have been powered to detect significant differences. Furthermore, we focused on coverage of service utilization as the primary outcome rather than mortality or morbidity. We do not have detailed data on service provision (e.g., which services were restricted and for how long, in what manner).

      Our study has certain limitations. While limited follow-up time was available for identifying hospitalizations of long duration, discharge dispositions were known for 84% of cases hospitalized with Omicron variant infections and 78% of those with Delta variant infections, providing a robust basis for time-to-event analyses. Incidental detections of SARS-CoV-2 among hospitalized patients might also have been more commonly associated with Omicron variant than Delta variant infections, leading to underestimates of attenuated disease severity in analyses of all hospitalizations. This consideration supports our use of EHR data on symptoms (assessed for all patients tested at KSPC) to define an endpoint of hospitalizations associated with acute respiratory symptoms, and our use of a prospective cohort design monitoring for new inpatient admissions among cases first ascertained by outpatient testing. This analytic framework also helped to mitigate bias that could result from exclusion of cases who were first tested using assays that would not identify SGTF, as such tests were used more often for patients tested in hospital settings. Follow-up was shorter for Omicron variant infections because these became most common near the end of the study period; use of a Cox proportional hazards model accounted for the resulting censoring. As access to testing may differ among KPSC members versus the general population, case-to-hospitalization ratios for Omicron and non-Omicron variant infectio...

      Results from LimitationRecognizer: We detected the following sentences addressing limitations in the study:
      Limitations: This study has several limitations. The setting was a single health system; while large and representing both urban and rural settings and community and academic hospitals, it is geographically limited to one US state. Our sample had relatively low racial and ethnic minority representation, limiting our ability to detect differences across these key subgroups. While we used statewide data for mortality and vaccination status, hospitalizations were collected only within this single health system. If mAb-untreated patients were also less likely to be seen in the health system for other services (hence, more likely to be hospitalized elsewhere), this may bias our results toward the null. We also relied on EHR data, including manual chart reviews, which may have missing or inaccurate information about the presence of chronic conditions.21 These factors might have limited our ability to detect the impact of mAb treatment, especially between subgroups. Our EHR data does not contain information on SARS-CoV-2 variants at the patient level, so variant phases are presented chronologically. However, during Colorado’s Delta phase more than 99% of sequenced SARS-CoV-2 was Delta variant.22 Our large sample size allowed the detection of meaningful benefits of mAb therapy for most subgroups, but the study could not detect potentially relevant differences between subgroups. Our propensity scoring method achieved excellent matching between mAb-treated and mAb-untreated patient gro...

      Strengths and limitations: This is to our knowledge, the only large-scale national study of HCW perceptions of mandatory vaccination. The size and the diversity of the sample, together with detailed information collected on participants from two waves of the UK-REACH longitudinal questionnaire, meant it was possible to examine differences in views by participant ethnicity, occupational group, age, health, and vaccination status. Responses were collected in early Summer 2021, before mandatory vaccination for health and social care staff was announced in England on 9th November 2021,12 and before the classification by the UK Health Security Agency of the Omicron variant of SARS-CoV-2 as a variant of concern on 27th November 202136 with greater transmissibility. This may have altered attitudes towards mandatory vaccination and vaccine passports. Data collection did however coincide with the classification by the UK Government of the Delta variant as a variant of concern on 7th May 2021, with the roll-out of vaccines to all eligible adults in the UK by July 2021, and the lifting of restrictions in June 2021 after a third national lockdown.37 Indeed, since the start of the vaccine roll-out increasing data on the vaccines has continued to emerge may have influenced and continue to influence participants’ views about mandatory vaccination in a variety of ways. This includes data on rare-side effects of the vaccines,38,39 the effectiveness of Covid-19 vaccination in pregnancy,40 the ...

      This is the reason why this study conducted a self-assessment for olfactory dysfunction, which addressed as a limitation. The Quick Olfactory Sniffin’s Stick test is one of the objective assessments to confirm the olfactory dysfunction using certain strong scents put at the distance of 1-2 cm from nostrils and it has a good performance in identifying the olfactory dysfunction in COVID 19 patients(28). But the Self-MOQ underwent validation through Sniffin’s stick test and shows a good discriminant ability(25). Missing at random in outcome assessment was likely occurred as the entire questionnaire is long and the proposed analysis using GEE will introduce bias if the cases with missing data are included. Analysis and Effect of Vaccination: Aside from occupation, this study also considers island as important demographic factors due to distribution and procurement of vaccine which affect the allocation of exposure status, and the distribution of dominant SARS-Cov2 strains wherein Java during the second wave, Delta variant was the most prevalent strain, and small percentage Alpha and Beta were found in Sumatera and Java(29). Mutation of SARS-Cov2 leads to different clinical manifestations(30) due to different abilities to attach to the host cell or the ability to escape from the immune response. Furthermore, Indonesia experience two COVID-19 waves where the first wave was dominated by wild type variant followed by Alpha and Beta. Several studies indicate the decremental vaccine ef...

      Results from LimitationRecognizer: We detected the following sentences addressing limitations in the study:
      Our study presents limitations. The use of fluorescent tetramers in ICS/flow cytometry analyses would have identified SARS-CoV-2-specific CD8+ T cell sub-populations more accurately. In addition, challenging immunized mice with sub-lethal viral doses may have revealed potentially protective effects induced by S1-specific CD8+ T cells also. Furthermore, the lack of quantification of viral loads in lungs of protected mice precluded the evaluation of the effects of N-specific immunity on viral spread within airway tissues. Emergence of variants against which anti-S neutralizing antibodies lose potency represents one of the most relevant shortcoming for current anti-SARS-CoV-2 vaccines. Notably, N-specific antiviral CD8+ T cell immunity is not expected to suffer from such a limitation. In fact, as reported in fig. 7, amino acid sequences of N protein from current variants of concern (VOCs) are well conserved, at least in part because mutations in this key viral component could have detrimental effects on optimal viral fitness. By consequence, the N-specific CD8+ T cell immune response against a single viral strain is anticipated to be effective also against other VOCs. In addition, based on the observations on patients recovered from SARS-CoV infection [11], SARS-CoV-2 N-specific CD8+ T cell immunity would wane with a kinetics much slower than that of anti-S neutralizing antibodies. We here demonstrate that adequate levels of N-specific CD8+ T cell immunity correlate with protect...

      Results from LimitationRecognizer: We detected the following sentences addressing limitations in the study:
      Other study limitations were some data were taken from interim reports and the supplementary data provided with them. These documents had limited information in the summarized format and the individual patient data was not available, thus there is a possibility to miss some important aspects. The main limitations to this analysis are related with the intrinsic weaknesses of the included studies as shown in the risk of bias assessment (Supplemental materials Table 2 & 3). However, the results showed almost perfect inconsistency, indirectness, and imprecision.

      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 LimitationRecognizer: We detected the following sentences addressing limitations in the study:
      A limitation of this study is that severity scores of only four of symptoms associated with COVID-19 will be calculated to get more insight into clinical significance. This is because only four standardized questionnaires for symptom severity were included in the study. Hence the severity of other possible symptoms related to COVID-19 will not be taken into account. In conclusion, the LongCOVID-study is expected to provide additional insights into the prevalence and severity of persistent symptoms after SARS CoV-2 infection to the international body of literature. In the Netherlands this is the first large scale study on persisting symptoms following SARS CoV2 infection.

      Results from LimitationRecognizer: We detected the following sentences addressing limitations in the study:
      Our study has several limitations. We included only samples with Ct values below 27, collected during the first 5 dpos but not afterwards. Therefore, absolute numbers on RNA copies are biased towards higher viral loads as patients with low viral load were not included here. However, patients with low viral load have likely little relevance in terms of transmission and other factors, such as poor swab quality can be a confounding factor leading to low viral loads. Furthermore, our focus was on infectious virus shedding and it has been shown that SARS-CoV-2 culture is unlikely to be successfully from samples with higher Ct values (35) and that the vast majority of secondary transmission occurs before 5 dpos although this needs to be formally assessed in Omicron cases (5). Due to its recent emergence, we did not yet have access to samples from Omicron infected unvaccinated individuals. Last, we also would like to emphasize that almost all patients in this study were vaccinated with mRNA vaccines that induce high titres of neutralizing antibodies in the blood but relatively low mucosal antibodies. Therefore, our results cannot be generalized to other vaccines, i.e. those that are used mainly in low- and middle-income countries. In conclusion, this study provides strong evidence for higher infectiousness of the Delta VOC as well as a significantly lower infectiousness and a faster clearance of infectious virus in vaccinated individuals. In addition, we could show that Omicron has ...

      This study has several limitations. Although we attempted to account for differences between the groups with respect to age, sex, and school instruction type through adjusted models, it is possible that other factors that differ between the DNP and PLY groups are not accounted for could confound our results. We cannot be certain that the differences in PA are entirely explained by participation in sports as athletes in both groups may have sources of PA outside of sports. We did not directly measure differences between groups with respect to factors that could potentially influence psychosocial outcomes, such as the social benefits or athletic identity, and can only speculate about the role that these may play in influencing the differences between groups. It is unknown if the relationships between PA and psychosocial outcomes in adolescent athletes during the COVID-19 pandemic will differ after the pandemic is over. Finally, this analysis represents a group of adolescent athletes from a single state, which may not be generalizable to other populations.

      Results from LimitationRecognizer: We detected the following sentences addressing limitations in the study:
      Limitations of the study: Missing data was a major complication of our retrospective cohort design that limited us from including less-frequently-ordered predictor variables such as C-reactive protein, and led us to impute missing PaO2 and FiO2 data. Our sensitivity analysis showed that the later did not affect our AUROC estimates. Our EMR data source limited our ability to include variables not recorded as discrete data, such as COVID-19 vaccination status and pre-existing atrial fibrillation. The discriminant accuracy achieved by C-TIME was modest, although similar to several other COVID-19 mortality prediction systems with AUROCs ranging 0.72-0.79 (5,10,17,19,21,38). We believe that it is inherently difficult to predict COVID-19 mortality at the time of intubation because such patients are relatively clinical homogeneous; most have life-threatening, single organ, respiratory failure (see table 1) (3). Low variation in predictor variables reduces discriminant accuracy. This could explain why APACHE IVa, which achieved AUROC of 0.88 in a large general ICU population (33), only yielded an AUROC of 0.66 in our study cohort. C-TIME (and all other COVID-19 prognostic systems) are likely to lose discriminant accuracy over time, as factors influencing survival evolve. These factors might include advances in therapy and emergence of new viral strains. The aforementioned decline in discriminant accuracy reported in Hubei vs the US and UK demonstrate that discriminant accuracy demons...

      Results from LimitationRecognizer: We detected the following sentences addressing limitations in the study:
      4.1 Limitations and Strengths: The present study has some weaknesses, primarily because the online system and voluntary participation suffers from inherent selection bias and generalizability. Similarly to other web-based survey [8,58,59], some of the characteristics of the sample were not adequately representative of the Italian adult population. Indeed, females, younger, healthier and wealthier people were proportionally more represented in the enrolled sample than in the general population. Furthermore, data were self-reported, which might have introduced measurement and recall bias (e.g. survey question misunderstanding, etc.). In addition, the longitudinal design may have led to bias due to the loss of participants during the follow-up period. The response rate to the second survey was 40%, with some differences between included and excluded participants, in particular regarding age, education, employment status and geographical area of residence. The present study also has several strengths including its community-based longitudinal design with two-time point’s measures overlapping with the first and second wave of the epidemic in Italy, thus providing reliable details on the temporal evolution of the symptoms and testing. In addition, although these data were self-reported, almost 50% of the studied sample underwent a NPS or ST, providing an overarching picture of the positivity rate at the population level in a country in which the ability to track COVID-19 cases in r...

      Results from LimitationRecognizer: We detected the following sentences addressing limitations in the study:
      Our study has some limitations. First, we were unable to perform cobas testing on nasopharyngeal samples. The cobas assay has a high sensitivity and has been widely used worldwide [29,30]. The level of discordance may vary depending on the equipment used for comparison. Second, we did not evaluate performance of the assays in samples from individuals infected with SARS-CoV-2 variants with gene mutations. The emergence of new variants could affect the diagnostic performance of the test. Third, the nasal samples used for molecular examination were collected after acquiring those used for antigen testing. The viral load in the nasal samples may have reduced due to the order of the procedure, which may have led to the variations in results obtained in the molecular examination. Finally, we did not use fresh samples for the evaluation of molecular examinations. Although to a miniscule degree, the storage process involving freezing and thawing also reportedly affects the viral load in samples [31]. In conclusion, the results of the Liat assay showed a high concordance with those of the other molecular assays in both nasal and nasopharyngeal samples. The findings of our study suggests that the Liat assay is suitable for use in a variety of clinical situations, primarily where accurate detection of SARS-CoV-2 is necessary.

      Results from LimitationRecognizer: We detected the following sentences addressing limitations in the study:
      Limitations of our study include the lack of SARS-CoV-2 PCR confirmation for all of our patients, especially those infected during the first wave, in which 80% of patients were not PCR-confirmed.55 Our inclusion criteria, though intentionally broad, precluded older, systemically immunocompromised, severely disabled patients from participation. Patients who were lost due to fatal COVID-19 infection could not be accounted for in our study. Our patients largely reflect the mild range within the spectrum of SARS-CoV-2, as evidenced by the fact that only 7% of our symptomatic cases were hospitalized as compared to the average hospitalization rate of 16% across MS studies 56. Our findings may not be generalizable to older and more disabled patients, who account for the bulk of excess morbidity and mortality in MS.57 The main conclusion of our study is that relatively young and otherwise healthy MS patients generally had favorable clinical course across DMTs despite markedly impaired adaptive immune responses associated with some of the DMTs (aCD20, S1P). To better understand the uncoupling of T-cell from antibody responses in aCD20 treated patients and to identify predictors of immune response in patients on the different DMTs, we are conducting in-depth immunophenotyping and activation-induced marker studies. Race/ethnicity did not predict either clinical or immunologic outcomes.

      Results from LimitationRecognizer: We detected the following sentences addressing limitations in the study:
      Our analysis had several key limitations. Firstly, the surveillance data sources we used to estimate daily growth rates had the potential to bias our analysis both because SGTF may be an imperfect proxy for Omicron and because we used public case count data which do not include reinfections. We made no adjustment for the background rate of SGTF observed for Delta or other factors that might lead to SGTF, or a confirmed detected S-gene observed with Omicron. The exclusion of known reinfections could also lead to bias in our estimates if the proportion of infections that are reinfections varies over time and between variants. Changes in testing practice may also impact our results, especially if this occurs differentially in populations where different proportions of each variant are circulating. In our first study[5], we explored the potential for sampling bias for cases with known S-gene status and found little evidence that this was present. Our generation time and transmission advantage estimates for Omicron also have limitations. A major limitation is that our estimated generation time distributions are in fact the distributions from a positive test to resulting positive tests rather than the true generation time distribution which would be based on infection times. This means that our estimates may be biased if those secondary infections test positive prior to the original (primary) infected case, or may be biased by the epidemic phase[13]. In addition to this, our model ...

      Results from LimitationRecognizer: We detected the following sentences addressing limitations in the study:
      This limitation is especially pronounced in ICUs for patients requiring mechanical ventilation (17). It is necessary to develop a scoring system that can be used by physicians, to estimate the severity of the disease and prognosis of each patient at an early stage of the disease, which will grant a wider timespan for interventions. This tool also helps to reduce hospital care costs and improves its quality in the health care units (18-20). In this survey, we designed a simplly calculated clinical risk score, by using the patient’s clinical characteristics and laboratory data, which can be used as a predictor to estimate the severity of the disease, the need for hospitalization, and the possibility of ICU admission requirement during hospitalization. Low DBP (≤ 75 mmHg), prolonged PT (> 16.2s), increase in the level of LDH (> 731 U/L), BUN >23mg/dl, elevated CRP (> 73.1 mg/L), and decrease in oxygen saturation (<84%) were detected as risk factors for disease severity among 480 adult patients. Using this scoring system is a useful strategy for screening high-risk patients in crowded care centers during the COVID-19 outbreak. Severe hypoxemia (O2 sat<84%) had the highest odds ratio (OR= 9.19) among the 6 risk factors determining the severity of the disease in our survey. This finding was consistent with a cohort study by Bahl et al. among 1461 patients in which O2 sat of ≤188% was associated with a higher mortality rate (21). In the review conducted by Petrilli et al. among 4103...

      Results from LimitationRecognizer: We detected the following sentences addressing limitations in the study:
      This study had some limitations. The first limitation is the small sample size, but this did not affect our understanding of the biology under study. We also acknowledge the difference in the sample preparation protocols, which could also be a potential confounder. This is secondary data analysis; we did not have sufficient study participants’ information, and we acknowledge this because it can contribute to the inaccurate interpretation of the results.

      Results from LimitationRecognizer: We detected the following sentences addressing limitations in the study:
      There were several limitations to our analysis. First, we assumed that Evites events represented in-person events and cancellation and RSVP data was reliable. Second, we are not able to disentangle the impacts of policy and other drivers of behavior change. Similarly, policy can be local, complicated, and heterogenous, making it difficult to compare nationally. Additionally, messaging from government outside of formal policies was not included here but may have influenced behavior [Pink et al 2021]. We acknowledge that factors we did not include in our analyses, such as weather and school closures, could have played a major role in SARS-CoV-2 transmission. Finally, we use ecological comparisons, and cannot compare individual-level behavior using these methods. We know that Evite users, those tracked by SafeGraph [Squire et al 2020, Grantz et al 2020, SafeGraph 2021], and voters [Verba et al 1995, Igielnik et al 2021] do not represent the general population. While Evites are most used in higher-income suburbs and major metropolitan areas, COVID incidence has been highest in rural and lower income counties [Li et al 2021]. However, the millions of events per year facilitated by Evite represent a unique data source for tracking trends in social gatherings. The first year of the pandemic enabled us to observe and quantify the relevant processes as well as to determine the appropriate geopolitical scales on which they act. Our analysis demonstrates the complexity of forces that dr...

      Results from LimitationRecognizer: We detected the following sentences addressing limitations in the study:
      Despite these strengths, some limitations must be acknowledged. First, we did not include sequences from CA-Covid cases, bar one. However the method we used to reconstruct who infected whom is able to cope with and identify missing intermediate cases; here we estimated that the overwhelming majority of cases (91.5%) was captured in our sample. Another limitation is that these investigations were performed during the first pandemic wave in a susceptible population, and therefore the results may no longer be applicable in settings with high vaccination coverage and/or substantial natural immunity. Nevertheless, the lessons learned may be useful in a large number of countries with slow vaccine roll-out due to vaccine hesitancy, particularly in HCWs where there is no vaccine mandate, or unequal access to vaccine supplies [30]. Furthermore, nosocomial outbreaks of SARS-CoV-2 still occur despite high vaccination coverage [31, 32]. Also, these valuable lessons may be applicable for nosocomial outbreak control in the case of future pandemics due to respiratory viruses with characteristics similar to SARS-CoV-2. In conclusion, strategies to prevent nosocomial SARS-CoV-2 transmission in geriatric settings should take into account the complex interplay between HCWs in dedicated Covid-19 wards versus non-Covid wards, and the potential for patient-to-patient transmission.

      Results from LimitationRecognizer: We detected the following sentences addressing limitations in the study:
      The present study has both strengths and limitations. By implementing this immunological survey in a community-based cohort study with a wide age range of healthy Japanese people who had been unexposed to SARS-CoV-2, we were able to collect preliminary but unprecedented epidemiological data regarding the prevalence and levels of assumable polyreactive natural salivary IgA autoantibodies that exhibit reactivity with the virus. To the best of our knowledge, our survey, along with the preceding one (38), is the only available study which has provided data useful for considering a putative role mucosal natural IgA antibodies in protecting the human host from SARS-CoV-2 infection. Supportably, the presence of natural polyreactive sIgA autoantibodies acting as the frontline of mucosal defense against various infections has been demonstrated (59). Our study has several limitations. Firstly, our sample size was not large with limiting the robustness of our findings in saliva, as well as in serum. If such samples could be increasingly available, statical power for the analyses presented here will be increased. Secondly, we do not know whether and what levels of the salivary IgA detected in the presented study are protective through neutralization against SARS-CoV-2 infection. Thirdly, because of the lack of follow-up data, it was also unable to directly correlate negativity for or low levels of SARS-CoV-2-reactive salivary IgA with the feasibility to have the virus infection.

      The study has certain limitations, since it evaluates the virtual courses corresponding to the 2020 academic year that ended on different dates in 2021 for medical schools in Peru, which predisposes to a greater effect of memory bias in some cases, likewise, some students influenced by the social desirability bias could have chosen to favorably describe the courses that were provided by their universities. In addition, there are some particular situations about problems with the virtual courses that could not be evaluated in the instrument but that the students expressed in a blank question placed in each section of the survey and given the variability of these comments we suggest that they could be better addressed with qualitative studies (14). Also, being a virtual survey disseminated through social networks, it has a reach to a specific group of students who share certain characteristics in the use of these platforms (Facebook, Whatsapp and Instagram), which could affect the way in which they evaluate the quality of virtual courses. However, despite the above, the study also has strengths that lie in the inclusion of students from most medical schools in Peru from different academic years that provide a greater scope of application of the survey, although it was not possible to survey students who performed face-to-face activities in the internship since they had graduated from the university at the time of the survey and because they performed face-to-face activities wit...

      Results from LimitationRecognizer: We detected the following sentences addressing limitations in the study:
      Limitations of this study include the use of highly sensitive IIF assays that yielded a high prevalence of positive results in healthy subjects and COVID-19 patients. Most of the measured ANA titers were at or just above the threshold level, which usually would be considered of irrelevant clinical significance. Moreover, we did not assess the specificity of autoantibodies, but recent studies have shown reactivity to a wide spectrum of autoantigens (11, 16). Altogether, our study shows autoantibodies in COVID-19 appear to be transient and correlate with increased anti-viral humoral immune responses and a distinct immune signature. As questions arise regarding long-term consequences of COVID-19, including the risk of immune dysregulation and autoimmune disease, understanding the mechanisms involved in balancing self-tolerance and protective immune responses become crucial to recognize and manage patients at risk for developing autoimmune diseases.

      Results from LimitationRecognizer: We detected the following sentences addressing limitations in the study:
      (19) This study had some limitations. First, we conducted a prospective cohort study of adolescents compared with our previous study of adult participants instead of a parallel clinical trial. Most adult participants were vaccinated when the study started. It was difficult to enroll the adult participants without prior vaccination with the COVID-19 vaccine. So, there is a difference in the case record form between the adolescent and adult cohorts. There is only a single questionnaire for local reaction in the adult cohort. However, the other solicited adverse events were the same. Second, we used the text message questionnaires instead of the diary book. Some participants in the adolescent cohort did not respond to the questionnaires about safety profiles. This limitation may improve by the active contact with the participants that do not complete the questionnaires. In conclusion, vaccination with the BBIBP-CorV vaccine in the adolescent participants was safe and more robust immune response than adults aged 18-30 years.

      Results from LimitationRecognizer: We detected the following sentences addressing limitations in the study:
      The major limitation of this study is the fact that we only examined HRQoL and stress level; we could not measure potential educational losses, nor the impact of online teaching. Furthermore, data is self-reported with a limited sample size. Overall, these findings are reassuring in that quarantines and related school disruptions, which we know are a common and effective way of controlling SARS-CoV-2 transmission, did not seem to meaningfully impact children and adolescent’s wellbeing and stress. However, school absences should not be trivialized as they are linked to poorer educational achievements [10]. Finding the right balance between SARS-CoV-2 control and young populations’ well-being is challenging, and the current results provide additional information for decision makers.

      Results from LimitationRecognizer: We detected the following sentences addressing limitations in the study:
      Our study also had limitations. The Long COVID symptoms were all self-reported, and thus objective assessment of symptoms like fatigue was not done. Telephonic interviews precluded us from collecting additional information like clinical and radiological examination for correlating with the findings. We assessed Long COVID after four weeks, and no further follow-up was done. The cause of death of fifty-two individuals who were not alive during the time of data collection was not enquired, and their death may have been related to Long covid complications. In developed countries, many large-scale cohort studies are undertaken to understand this phenomenon. (35,36) Similar studies on Long COVID are lacking in India, and our research community should bridge this gap. We need more research into Long COVID to objectively assess the symptoms, to monitor the symptoms for a longer duration, and to study the biological and radiological markers, which can lead to better treatment guidelines and comprehensive management of COVID-19 disease.

      Results from LimitationRecognizer: We detected the following sentences addressing limitations in the study:
      Several limitations in our meta-analysis should be noted as follows: (1) because of limited number of cases and studies, the quality of all cohort-study-based evidences and most RTC-based evidences are low, especially for the improvement of ventilation and the incidence of IMV; We believe that low-powered analysis of this parameter based on a small number of studies can still provide useful insights by highlighting a deficiency in a particular topic that deserves further attention. (2) There are differences in the standard of care used (for placebo/GM-CSF inhibitor arms) in the included studies, which limits our capability to perform an adequate comparison and meta-analysis of these studies. For example, differences in the oxygen therapy and nursing measures may influence the mortality in COVID-19 patients. (3) One of the six studies used for the meta-analysis are pre-publications without peer-review, which may imply a risk of publication bias or other potential risks. (4) Study population is different for some studies, which implies a risk of selection bias; (5) Besides, there are some other factors in this study, such as other drugs, ventilator availability, and vaccines. For example, the effectiveness of dexamethasone in COVID-19 has been previously reported.21 So, the synergistic effect or other interactions of these factors (such as dexamethasone) remains unclear. Therefore, the clinical interpretation of these findings is limited by these high or unclear risks of bias. ...

      Results from LimitationRecognizer: We detected the following sentences addressing limitations in the study:
      Limitations to current vaccines include global vaccine availability and affordability, vaccine hesitancy, and rapidly emerging highly infective viral strains that escape vaccine-induced immunity. This has been particularly apparent following the emergence of Delta and Omicron. The latter variant was first detected in specimens collected on November 8, 2021 [32], and within a few weeks became the dominant SARS-CoV-2 variant in the United States [33]. Both convalescent sera from early strain-infected patients and fully vaccinated individuals exhibited a low neutralization capacity against Omicron [9–12]; a reduction of 30 to 40-fold in neutralization titers was reported. Furthermore, of eight currently authorized or approved monoclonal antibodies, seven did not neutralize the Omicron variant and one had a 3-fold reduction in neutralization titer [11]. These data highlight the need for alternative and complementary approaches to curb COVID-19. Here, we describe the production of the first chicken egg yolk-derived anti-index SARS- CoV-2 RBD IgY polyclonal antibodies as an intranasal drop product for humans with equal in vitro activity against all variants of concern. These IgY were raised in SPF hens and showed an excellent safety profile when given intranasally by drops to rats for 28 days (4 mg/day). No toxicity, innate inflammatory response, or systemic exposure to IgY were noted in this GLP study. In 48 healthy adult participants, anti-SARS-CoV-2 RBD IgY given intranasally at...

      There are several limitations in our study, the first one being the small sample size, so the findings of the study cannot be extrapolated to the whole population of CKD patients on maintenance dialysis. Although our observations are in coherence with the findings of similar studies conducted elsewhere in the world, and a few prognostic factors are universal in this group of patients. The second limitation being the inherent information and selection bias during retrospective data retrieval. The third limitation is a very small number of CKD patients who underwent dialysis in the second wave of the COVID-19. We couldn’t compare the clinical characteristics and outcomes between the first and second wave and couldn’t come to any conclusion in this aspect. In the current literature, there are mostly retrospective studies on this group of patients so, there is a need for future similar prospective studies with an adequate sample size for better interpretation of the prognostic parameters and their association with clinical outcomes. The observation from our study led to the conclusion that the CKD patients on maintenance hemodialysis are the group of patients that are more susceptible to severe disease following infection with coronavirus due to the presence of multiple co-morbidities, frailty, and older age. The older age, severe disease at presentation, the requirement of oxygen and respiratory support, baseline elevated inflammatory markers especially IL-6, PCT, raised fibrino...

      Our study, however, has some limitations. In this work, we did not consider other influential factors of death, such as influenza, pneumonia, and respiratory syncytial virus infection, due to the lack of data. The empirical findings from N. Suntronwong et al.[42] revealed that the advent of COVID-19 may change human behavior, such as wearing face masks and social distancing, resulting in a decreased transmission of influenza in Thailand. In addition, we did not consider other factors such as effects of heatwaves and ambient air pollution that may correlate with mortality[43, 44] due to the limitation of data. Future work may investigate these factors when the data becomes available. In summary, our findings showed that the COVID-19 outbreak in Thailand had a huge impact on mortality. During the outbreak in 2021, there was a significant rise in excess fatalities, especially in the older age groups. The increase in mortality was found to be higher in men than in women. It is worth stressing that up-to-date and reliable mortality data are important to assess the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic. Our modeling results could potentially provide insights into the COVID-19 outbreaks and provide a guide for outbreak control and intervention.

      Results from LimitationRecognizer: We detected the following sentences addressing limitations in the study:
      One of the limitations of our study is related to the sample size and small number of unvaccinated individuals. In fact, the relatively small sample size of the HCW cohort (n=2213), the high vaccine coverage and the few events observed during the study period contributed to the low precision of the estimates. Moreover, most of the events occurred in a restricted period of time while no events were observed in most of the follow-up weeks. However, the distribution of events over time was comparable to the epidemic curve observed in the Portuguese community aged between 18-70 years old for the same period (21). On the other hand, outcome measurement was conducted using the same informatics platform for all participant HCW, and so differential measurement of outcome is not plausible. In addition, this study did not include variables related with adherence to vaccination of other preventive behaviours and this may have resulted in residual confounding, as the three categories of vaccination status may be associated with those behaviours or according to other individual HCW characteristics that may be associated with either vaccination uptake or risk of infection. Larger cohort studies of HCW with long follow-up periods relied on weekly symptoms reporting, which result in a high burden for the participants and are difficult to maintain. One possible solution to obtain more robust vaccine effectiveness estimates in this risk group is to use cohorts based on electronic registries as...

      Results from LimitationRecognizer: We detected the following sentences addressing limitations in the study:
      As an obvious limitation of our approach, a subgroup of patients with previous or ongoing Belatacept treatment did not benefit from MPA hold. Although patient numbers were small, our data support the notion that Belatacept efficiently inhibits vaccine responses (38) irrespective of the presence of anti-metabolites, suggesting that other approaches are needed for Belatacept-treated patients. In summary our data provide evidence that temporal hold of MPA for 5 weeks in patients under previous CNI, MPA ± CS is a viable option to accelerate and increase vaccine efficacy in KTR, particularly given that graft function remained stable and no rejection episodes or increases in anti-HLA antibodies and dd-cfDNA plasma concentrations were observed. Our study thus highlights a potential rapid vaccination strategy for at-risk patients under standard CNI-based immunosuppression that warrants testing in larger cohorts.

      Results from LimitationRecognizer: We detected the following sentences addressing limitations in the study:
      We have shown that, when considering limitations on gathering size, decision-makers should consider the distribution of gathering sizes in addition to local conditions when determining the optimal threshold. While a lot of attention has focused on large gatherings, we show that small gatherings, due to their frequency, can be important contributors to transmission dynamics. Using empirical data from previous studies, we find that gathering size distributions are in fact “heavytailed” but that meaningful reduction in new cases only occurs once restrictions are set quite low. In theory this conclusion should also apply to future emerging variants of COVID-19 as well as future epidemics other than COVID-19. Our conclusion aligns with that of Brooks-Pollock et al. [24] who have showed that large gatherings of 50+ individuals have relatively small epidemiological impact while small and medium-sized groups of 10 to 50 individuals contribute most to COVID-19 epidemics. Our work highlights the fact that more detailed data on human gathering sizes dynamics are needed, as datasets on this facet of social dynamics are extremely rare. This should include data on gathering size and duration across contexts and seasons as well as how distributions change during the course of an outbreak. These data would allow for more tailored restrictions and potentially more effective interventions. They would also contribute to better understanding of micro-dynamics of transmission during an outbreak a...

      This study provides novel data complementing recent reports of the effectiveness of other COVID-19 vaccines against omicron and has several strengths and limitations. Testing for SARS-CoV-2 infection was readily available among KPSC members, including drive-through testing and self-scheduled test appointments. Furthermore, we used a highly specific and sensitive RT-PCR test and monitored variant proportions at KPSC, allowing us to quickly assess VE of mRNA-1273 against omicron. Second, we considered all SGTF specimens as omicron, rather than specifying a Ct value threshold, although this may have overestimated omicron detection. Our rate of SGTF closely mirrored regional trends in omicron emergence from the CDC.11 Furthermore, based on whole genome sequencing results received for a subset of 227 positive specimens, we confirmed that all 6 omicron cases exhibited SGTF, and the remaining 221 delta cases were all negative for SGTF. Third, this study was representative of a large, diverse racial, ethnic, and socioeconomic population in Southern California, but may be less representative of other populations. However, analysis of the effectiveness of mRNA-1273 against delta and omicron in parallel provided an internal comparator that put results in context.12 Fourth, some immunocompetent members who received a third dose before the 10/21/2021 ACIP recommendation may have received a 100-µg dose rather than a 50-µg booster dose of mRNA-1273. However, we were not able to clearly asse...

      Results from LimitationRecognizer: We detected the following sentences addressing limitations in the study:
      Our study has some limitations. While our findings provide a framework for the rapid clinical translation of a host-based COVID-19 diagnostic, a randomized controlled trial of our assay will be needed to firmly establish its clinical utility. Our results suggest that addition of host targets is likely to improve diagnostic accuracy, however, a prospective assessment using clinically confirmed false-positive and false-negative viral tests is needed. Moreover, our classifier models were trained and tested on cohorts with particular characteristics, including the balance between COVID-19, other viral and non-viral samples; the mix of other respiratory viruses represented; and within the COVID-19 group, the distributions of viral load and of time since onset of infection. All these variables no doubt affect classifier performance and will vary in reality with time and place. However, the fact that our classifiers translated so well across diverse real-world cohorts argues that they are quite robust to these issues. While we did not explicitly explore it here, our results suggest that parsimonious host classifiers could serve not only as a COVID-19 diagnostic but also as a pan-respiratory virus surveillance tool. Even prior to the COVID-19 pandemic, viral lower respiratory tract infections were a leading cause of disease and death16, and many respiratory viral infections go undetected, leading to preventable transmission and unnecessary antibiotic treatment17. Since our classifier...

      Results from LimitationRecognizer: We detected the following sentences addressing limitations in the study:
      While all these limitations are acknowledged, there is, however, a positive aspect: the many uncontrolled-for covariates that all these shortcomings introduced would be expected to dilute any between-group differences due to the resulting noise. Thus, the fact that, despite this, we found highly statistically significant results actually emphasizes the validity of our results, and the power of glycoproteomics, as the signals were strong enough to rise over all this noise. Our study draws additional indirect validation from the fact that we find the expected preponderance of men and older age groups among the patients who developed a severe case of the illness.

      Results from LimitationRecognizer: We detected the following sentences addressing limitations in the study:
      A final limitation is the self-reported nature of the symptoms, in particular since individuals who are eager to vaccinate may differ from those who do not vaccinate in terms of perceptions of health and illness. This study offers a snapshot of the effectiveness of COVID-19 vaccine on the long-term effects of SARS-CoV-2 infection. The findings suggest that in addition to preventing severe disease and death [26], COVID-19 vaccines, or at least the BNT162b2 mRNA vaccine used in Israel, may play a useful role in preventing long-term outcomes of SARS-CoV-2 infection that fit within the current WHO definition of long COVID, in particular among older adults. Studies such as this one should be complemented by studies objectively measuring long-term health outcomes in COVID-19 patients in a clinical setting. Our cohort, which continues to recruit participants, will enable us to report with more precision whether the BNT162b2 mRNA protective effect reported in this study is sustained, as well as the effect of the different SARS-CoV-2 variants and vaccination on post-COVID symptoms.

      Our analysis addressed these limitations by comparing the risk ratios of the outcomes, measuring the difference in new mental health diagnoses and dispensation within the HMO in different time periods. Overall, we estimate that there are higher incidence rates than those presented here. As the fifth coronavirus wave led by the Omicron strain is starting, these results should be considered when deciding on policies for containing it. Our findings highlight that together with the risk of a new strain infecting the population, attention should be given to the mental health of adolescents – especially secular girls - and measures to safeguard their mental health and wellbeing should be weighed.

      Results from LimitationRecognizer: We detected the following sentences addressing limitations in the study:
      Several limitations must be acknowledged. The numbers are too low to calculate vaccine effectiveness against death, or to separate by vaccine type. About 3% of the cohort had only received one dose of an approved vaccine at the time the data were analyzed. These were excluded from the analysis, resulting in a minor loss of statistical power. No SARS-CoV2 antibody testing was performed. Data on mortality was available until 21 September 2021 whilst SARS-CoV-2 test results were updated until 19 October 2021. Consequently, the proportion of patients dying within 28 days of their positive PCR test may be slightly underestimated. Finally, whilst it had been reported that antibody response varies according to age, degree of immunosuppression, and estimated glomerular filtration rate8, 11, 33, we did not conduct any adjusted analysis in this study and only report crude outcomes. Despite promising effects of COVID-19 vaccination at a population level, for vaccinated patients requiring KRT the risk of SARS-COV-2 infection and subsequent complications remains high. Two doses of approved vaccines fail to provide sufficient protection. Further strategies to mitigate risk are required which may include non-pharmacological interventions, optimization of vaccination regimens, prophylactic therapies, and improved COVID-19 treatment strategies.

      Results from LimitationRecognizer: We detected the following sentences addressing limitations in the study:
      Our study has a few limitations. The results from a single-site with over one-year of experience in high volume testing may not be generalizable to all situations. However, with implementation of best practices, similar accuracy would be expected.12 Our study enrolled only a small number of children with high-risk exposure and the estimates of accuracy had broad confidence interval. However, the results are similar to overall symptomatic and asymptomatic groups. Additionally, three of the four false negative tests in the high-risk exposure group were tested within 3 days of exposure and samples were likely collected too early for detection by a rapid antigen test. Given the short turn-around-time, low cost, and ease of use, this test could play an important role in allowing children to limit absence from school and other activities while in quarantine or awaiting PCR test results especially for asymptomatic children. It may assist in implementing test-to-stay strategies, where exposed school children are allowed to continue uninterrupted in-person learning given frequent testing for one week after exposure.18 The higher accuracy reported in our study also underscores the magnitude of missed opportunity in failing to make this important tool widely available to schools. If further studies with the extremely transmissible omicron variant show very high viral load and rapid antigen accuracy, these tests could become one of most valuable tools used to fight current and future COV...

      Results from LimitationRecognizer: We detected the following sentences addressing limitations in the study:
      Some limitations apply to this study. Firstly, we did not have access to clinical information. Secondly, vaccination status may affect the behavior of both primary cases and potential secondary cases, as they may adhere less to non-pharmaceutical interventions (NPIs) once they or others are vaccinated. Thus, the estimates in our study reflect both the biological aspect of susceptibility and transmissibility, as well as the behavioral aspects, and does not confer any information regarding severity of illness, which is expected to be lower among vaccinated individuals. There are several behavioral aspects relating to vaccination. Once a primary case is identified within the household, the other members might allocate their time with that individual, conditional on their own vaccination status. For example, if the primary case is a child and one parent is fully vaccinated, while the other is not, then the family may choose to allocate the majority of childcare during the infection to the vaccinated parent, as they have a lower risk of being infected. This changed contact pattern may lead to a higher rate of infections in vaccinated individuals in households where there are also unvaccinated members. Furthermore, vaccinated individuals may in general adhere less to non-pharmaceutical interventions, such as keeping distance, wearing masks, etc. due to a perceived lower susceptibility and transmissibility. Unvaccinated individuals may be identified earlier in their infection than v...

      Results from LimitationRecognizer: We detected the following sentences addressing limitations in the study:
      Study Limitations: Our study conclusions are specific to a vaccine-naive patient population that sought care at UCSF Health in 2020 and may not be generalizable to populations in other settings or at later time points in the pandemic. Furthermore, our study population differed somewhat in racial and ethnic composition from that of the Bay Area population. The reasons for this discrepancy could have reflected the region’s geographic heterogeneity in the distribution of Asian individuals, as well as other factors, including but not limited to variations in patient access to or preference for UCSF Health care facilities, patient willingness to seek medical care, health insurance coverage-dictated limitations, and referral effects. Patients who lived a distance from a UCSF Health facility may have been less likely to seek care at UCSF Health and thus would been less likely to be included in the study population. For example, Santa Clara County, the most populous in the nine-county Bay Area, lies beyond the immediate referral zone of UCSF Health yet has highest percentage of Asian individuals (38.9%) in the region. Furthermore, it is conceivable that any such distance-related access barriers would have been more difficult to overcome for individuals with higher social vulnerability and lower socioeconomic status. At the same time, amongst large, regional health care systems in the San Francisco Bay Area during the study period, UCSF Health cared for a disproportionately greater sh...

      Results from LimitationRecognizer: We detected the following sentences addressing limitations in the study:
      It is worth noting that a limitation of the SVNT is that it is not able to measure neutralizing antibodies directed against non-RBD regions of the spike protein as it only measures RBD-ACE2 interactions. We were thus able to provide a detailed characterization of antibody responses to SARS-CoV-2 variants in KTRs, including the Omicron variant, and to evaluate the alloimmune safety of a third vaccine dose and found no evidence of allograft injury, de novo DSA development and no episodes of allograft rejection. This is consistent with what has been reported after two25–27 and three vaccine doses11,12,14 in solid organ transplant recipients. Our study has limitations, including its small sample size, observational design, lack of a control group of KTRs who did not receive a third vaccine dose, and lack of assessment of the cellular response to vaccination. Further studies evaluating the cellular response to the Omicron variant and the implications of the reduced neutralization ability with regards to risk and severity of infections in KTRs are needed. In summary, we found that a third dose of SARS-CoV-2 mRNA vaccination in KTRs was associated with an increased antiviral antibody response against WT and variants of SARS-CoV-2, and while the neutralizing responses to the Omicron variant increased in some, overall they remained markedly diminished. Strategies designed to improve antiviral immune responses to the Omicron and future variants, such as with additional homologous28 or ...

      Results from LimitationRecognizer: We detected the following sentences addressing limitations in the study:
      Our study has several limitations. As the precise immune correlates of protection for SARS-CoV-2 transmission and disease severity remain incompletely characterized 42, the implications of our results on individual-level protection from SARS-CoV-2 infection and COVID-19 remain uncertain. We did not investigate vaccine-induced T-cell responses, which may play critical roles in protection against severe COVID-19, particularly in the context of variants 43–50. Furthermore, our assays tested only the ancestral SARS-CoV-2 strain (Wuhan or USA-WA1/2020); assessments of SARS-CoV-2 variants including Omicron are in progress. Our study was not designed nor powered to investigate potential differences in immune responses between the two mRNA vaccines 51,52. Finally, at the time of writing, post-third dose data were available for only a subset of participants, and at a single time point. In conclusion, while the observation of strong binding and neutralizing antibody responses to third COVID-19 vaccine doses in older adults, including residents of long-term care, are encouraging, it will be important to closely monitor the decline in these responses over time in this population.

      Results from LimitationRecognizer: We detected the following sentences addressing limitations in the study:
      Our modelling study has several limitations. The model was based on a deterministic compartmental SIR model; thus, stochastic effects were not considered.10 The system of 49 ODEs was parameterized with vital statistics from Australia or Alberta; therefore, extrapolation to other regions should be done with caution. On the other hand, the age structure and age-specific mortality rates were similar to other high-income, urbanized settings. Age-assortative mixing was incorporated into the model using social contact matrices; however, these were based on pre-pandemic surveys.9 Other investigators have demonstrated changes in contact rate with evolution of the pandemic, and have considered context-specific changes in contact rates (e.g. school closures).20,21 We used a composite ‘social distancing’ index (θ) to capture the combined effects of physical isolation, face masks, improved hand hygiene on the contact rate.8 This represents a simplification but is justified in the absence of data on the efficacy and uptake of various public health interventions in different age groups. The duration of infection prior to death or recovery was assumed to follow an exponential distribution. Recovered individuals in our model were considered immune (removed permanently from the susceptible pool); we did not incorporate waning immunity in the model.

      Results from LimitationRecognizer: We detected the following sentences addressing limitations in the study:
      Several limitations should be considered when interpreting our results. First, direct comparisons between vaccines should be made with appropriate caution as there may remain baseline differences between the three vaccine cohorts. However, multiple sets of sensitivity analyses by age, comorbidities, and cohort entry time helped mitigate any observable differences. Second, although we reduced differences between cases and controls that could affect the probability of COVID-19-related outcomes through matching, there could be remaining unmeasured effects such as occupation-related exposure. Third, this study did not directly adjust for the strain of infection, although matching on calendar time and location likely accounted for that. However, observed vaccine waning may still be confounded by the reduction in protection against novel variants.48 Finally, this study relied primarily on open claims, which means other COVID-19-related medical encounters may have occurred within our population that we did not observe. However, individuals included in our study had observable vaccination records as well as healthcare utilization prior to vaccination, so observability should not be a significant limitation. In summary, durable protection against ICU admissions was observed for all three vaccines. However, the durability of protection against breakthrough infections and hospitalizations varied among the vaccines. We found that the level of VE at baseline against infections and hospita...

      Results from LimitationRecognizer: We detected the following sentences addressing limitations in the study:
      Due to limitations in testing capacity, milder infections in vaccinees, and reduced sensitivity of some tests to the omicron variant, we believe that a smaller fraction of omicron infections will be detected as cases compared to previous waves. We expect reported cases to peak in the first half of January 2022. Preliminary data suggest that boosting may dramatically increase protection against disease caused by omicron infections [4]. We therefore recommend eligible people receive boosters as soon as possible. Furthermore, absenteeism among infected health care workers combined with a rapidly increasing number of COVID-19 patients may substantially strain the health care system. This may be particularly serious for pediatrics, as children under 5 are not eligible for vaccination and may be more likely to experience severe omicron infections than adults [6]. We recommend particular care be taken to protect young children from exposure to the omicron variant.

      Results from LimitationRecognizer: We detected the following sentences addressing limitations in the study:
      The main limitations of this study were (i) that most of the analysed genomic sequences where from a single Egyptian city (i.e. Cairo) and (ii) that the volume of sequencing was lower during the second and third waves that it was during the first wave. These two limitations greatly complicated the reconstruction of viral transmission dynamics within the country. There is a need for a more robust surveillance strategy in Egypt and this need to be met with sustainable funding to support genomic epidemiology initiatives to ensure that representative samples are collected across the country at regular time-intervals. A final important limitation of our study also is that the epidemiological data needed to contextualize much of the genomic sequencing data was absent: for example, patient travel details that might have been useful to corroborate the inferred importation and exportation events were not generally available. Epidemiological data of this sort is vital because the slow evolutionary rate of the virus at the onset of the pandemic meant that genetic linkages between sequences in different countries does not categorically prove that viral movements occurred between those countries. In summary, by combining genomic and epidemiological data, we have been able to illuminate the viral dynamics behind the COVID19epidemic in Egypt. Particularly, we have shown that if not controlled, non-VOC lineages can evolve rapidly within a single country to acquire adaptive and pathogenic pro...

      Results from LimitationRecognizer: We detected the following sentences addressing limitations in the study:
      An important limitation of our comparative analysis is that there were insufficient data available to provide reliable comparisons of the relative impact of exposure notification apps across countries. Because app deployment analyses and reporting periods differ across time (see Table 1), any direct comparisons across countries are not well defined, particularly given the fluctuating nature of COVID cases or “waves.” Reports span varying time periods, and it is not possible to assess if a given report provides accurate or representative overall usage and efficacy of an app or whether instead it captures a period of particular efficacy or lack thereof. Additionally, different apps had different purposes and resources dedicated to their development. For example, COVID Alert was developed and used as an exposure notification app, while the NHS COVID-19 App had additional functionality (e.g., checking local alert level, checking symptoms, booking COVID-19 tests) in addition to exposure notification. The paucity of data currently available from other countries makes meaningful comparisons of efficacy impossible. Further, given different app purposes and associated budgets, combined with the scarcity of published or public data, comparing costs of development and deployment was not possible. The main limitation of our modelling analysis is the inability to estimate key parameters of the model due to the high level of data aggregation employed to preserve privacy. Rather than being ...

      These limitations should be considered when transferring the results of this study to other populations, or when using these finding to inform future COVID-19 public health policies. Individuals who are CEV are a clinically heterogenous group. For the first COVID-19 lockdown in England this contributed to the difficulties in disseminating shielding advice as well as differing adaptations to that advice. This has been highlighted by other authors, in particular that some more vulnerable patients did not receive appropriate advice in time.27 Future communications should be disseminated promptly, tailored to health conditions, and delivered in a more targeted way with integrated support from healthcare and mental health services. Furthermore, additional work could focus on future adherence to shielding advice and long-term social distancing adaptations, as well as the long-term implications of shielding for mental health and feelings of social identity. Additionally, creating a mechanism for clear communication, integrated with clinical needs, would support patients who are CEV who may need to shield in future pandemics.

      Results from LimitationRecognizer: We detected the following sentences addressing limitations in the study:
      Despite the fact that this study provides nursing administrators with evidence to assist nurses in pandemic scenarios, certain limitations were identified. First, the research was limited to a small group of nurses from a particular institution, as the findings cannot be generalized to nurses across the country or the globe. Furthermore, the research design has significant drawbacks, such as the inability to establish causal links between variables. In the future, researchers using both qualitative and quantitative research methods may be able to collect information from participants that cannot be obtained through self-report measures. To determine the effectiveness of resilience management programs and other strategies, rigorous studies using rigorous methods (such as randomized control trials) would need to be conducted. Moreover, during the epidemic, nurses are likely to benefit from mindfulness and/or cognitive behavioral therapy[28]. Ideally, future research should explore individual factors (e.g., self-efficacy, coping skills, and hardiness), supervisors’ factors (e.g., nursing schedules and leadership styles), and organizational factors (e.g., workload, healthcare staffing levels, resource availability, hospital size, and number) play a role in nursing burnout during pandemics.
