Prevalence and risk factors of psychiatric symptoms and diagnoses before and during the COVID-19 pandemic: findings from the ELSA-Brasil COVID-19 mental health cohort

Andre Russowsky Brunoni et al.

Summary: This study evaluates the psychiatric disorders and symptoms during the COVID-19 pandemic in Brazil. The results show that the rates of common mental disorders and depressive disorders did not significantly change, while the rate of anxiety disorders decreased. Factors such as age, gender, education level, ethnicity, and previous psychiatric disorders were associated with an increased risk of psychiatric disorders.

Follow-up of adults with noncritical COVID-19 two months after symptom onset

Claudia Carvalho-Schneider et al.

Summary: In noncritical COVID-19 patients, most individuals continued to experience symptoms up to 2 months after symptom onset, with the main complaints being anosmia/ageusia, dyspnoea, or asthenia. Factors associated with persistent symptoms included age 40-60 years old, hospital admission, and abnormal auscultation at symptom onset.

Deusdedit Brandao Neto et al.

Summary: This study measured reported chemosensory dysfunction among 655 patients with COVID-19, finding that the majority reported issues with olfaction and taste. Almost all patients seem to recover a significant part of their smell and taste abilities within the first 4 months after the onset of symptoms.

Pulmonary function and radiological features 4 months after COVID-19: first results from the national prospective observational Swiss COVID-19 lung study

Sabina A. Guler et al.

Summary: The Swiss COVID-19 lung study investigated pulmonary sequelae of COVID-19 in 113 survivors. Severe/critical COVID-19 was associated with significant functional and radiological abnormalities 4 months after infection, potentially due to small-airway and lung parenchymal disease. Systematic follow-up for survivors needs to be evaluated to optimize care for patients recovering from COVID-19.

Post-acute COVID-19 syndrome. Incidence and risk factors: A Mediterranean cohort study

Oscar Moreno-Perez et al.

Summary: This study found that Post-acute COVID-19 syndrome was detected in about half of COVID-19 survivors, with mostly mild symptoms. Radiological and spirometric changes were observed in less than 25% of patients, and no baseline clinical features behaved as independent predictors of Post-acute COVID-19 syndrome development.

6-month consequences of COVID-19 in patients discharged from hospital: a cohort study (Publication with Expression of Concern. See vol. 401, pg. 90, 2023)

Chaolin Huang et al.

Summary: This study aimed to investigate the long-term health consequences of discharged COVID-19 patients and associated risk factors, particularly disease severity. Patients with more severe illness during hospitalization showed more severe impaired pulmonary diffusion capacities and abnormal chest imaging manifestations, highlighting the need for targeted interventions for long-term recovery.

Xiaoyu Han et al.

Summary: The study found that over one-third of severe COVID-19 patients showed fibrotic-like changes in the lung at 6-month follow-up CT, which were associated with older age, acute respiratory distress syndrome, longer hospital stays, tachycardia, noninvasive mechanical ventilation, and higher initial chest CT score.

Characterisation of the first 250 000 hospital admissions for COVID-19 in Brazil: a retrospective analysis of nationwide data

Otavio T. Ranzani et al.

Summary: A total of 254,288 patients with RT-qPCR-confirmed COVID-19 were admitted to hospitals in Brazil, with an overall in-hospital mortality rate of 38%, rising to 59% in ICU patients and 80% in those on ventilators. The burden of ICU admissions and mortality rates varied across different regions of the country, emphasizing the need for improved healthcare access for critically ill COVID-19 patients, especially in low- and middle-income countries.

Joshua Elliott et al.

Summary: Using data from the UK Biobank cohort, this study investigated factors associated with COVID-19 mortality and found that age, male sex, Black ethnicity, healthcare worker status, smoking, certain comorbidities, and oral steroid use were independently associated with increased risk of COVID-19 death. The study also highlighted the potential contributions of income, cardiovascular disease, hypertension, diabetes, cystatin C, and oral steroid use to the risk of COVID-19 mortality.

Post-infection depressive, anxiety and post-traumatic stress symptoms: A prospective cohort study in patients with mild COVID-19

Flavia Ismael et al.

Summary: It remains unclear whether COVID-19 is associated with psychiatric symptoms during or after the acute illness phase. This prospective cohort study found that an increased number of COVID-19 symptoms was associated with clinically significant levels of depressive, anxiety, and post-traumatic stress symptoms approximately two months later. Patients should be monitored for the development of psychiatric symptoms after COVID-19 treatment discharge, and early interventions could benefit these individuals.

Fabio E. Leal et al.

Summary: The Corona SAo Caetano programme in Brazil provides primary care to residents with COVID-19, capturing standardized clinical data. Among suspected cases, most common symptoms of confirmed COVID-19 were cough, fatigue, myalgia, and headache. Fever, anosmia, and ageusia were strongly associated with positive COVID-19 diagnosis. Most patients recovered without hospitalization, with low fatality rates.
