Summary: Different components of immune memory to SARS-CoV-2 exhibit distinct kinetics, with antibodies and spike-specific memory B cells remaining relatively stable over 6 months, while CD4(+) T cells and CD8(+) T cells declining with a half-life of 3 to 5 months after infection.

Risk of adverse outcomes in patients with underlying respiratory conditions admitted to hospital with COVID-19 a national, multicentre prospective cohort study using the ISARIC WHO Clinical Characterisation Protocol UK

Chloe Bloom et al.

Summary: This study analyzed data from patients admitted to hospital with COVID-19 in England, Scotland, and Wales from January 17 to August 3, 2020. The findings showed that patients with asthma were more likely to receive critical care, while patients with chronic pulmonary disease were less likely. In older patients, inhaled corticosteroid use reduced mortality rates in asthma patients but not in those with chronic pulmonary disease.

Interim findings from first-dose mass COVID-19 vaccination roll-out and COVID-19 hospital admissions in Scotland: a national prospective cohort study

Eleftheria Vasileiou et al.

Summary: The study in Scotland found that the first doses of the BNT162b2 mRNA and ChAdOx1 vaccines were associated with substantial reductions in the risk of COVID-19 hospital admission, with vaccine effectiveness ranging from 88% to 91% at 28-34 days post-vaccination.

Association between pre-existing respiratory disease and its treatment, and severe COVID-19: a population cohort study

Paul Aveyard et al.

Summary: The study found that patients with certain respiratory diseases had a higher risk of hospitalization and death from COVID-19, while the risk of severe COVID-19 in asthma patients was relatively small. The use of inhaled steroids may be associated with a slightly increased risk of severe COVID-19.

C. R. Simpson et al.

Summary: Analysis of data from the EAVE II cohort in Scotland has shown that a first dose of the ChAdOx1 nCoV-19 vaccine may be associated with increased risks of idiopathic thrombocytopenic purpura, arterial thromboembolic events, and hemorrhagic events. However, there were no positive associations found between the BNT162b2 vaccine and these adverse events.
