Alternative adjustment for seasonality and long-term time-trend in time-series analysis for long-term environmental exposures and disease counts

Honghyok Kim et al.

Summary: Research suggests that traditional adjustment methods for time-series analysis of long-term exposure may inflate standard errors of estimates. In contrast, a combination of variable functions can provide more efficient adjustment.

Near-roadway air pollution associated with COVID-19 severity and mortality - Multiethnic cohort study in Southern California

Zhanghua Chen et al.

Summary: This study found that increased exposure to non-freeway air pollution near residences in Southern California is associated with an increased risk of COVID-19 severity, including the need for intensive respiratory support, ICU admission, and mortality. These associations were independent of regional fine particulate matter and nitrogen dioxide exposures, and were consistent across different age, sex, and race/ethnicity subgroups.

Multi-dimensional community characteristics in linking particulate matter pollution and cause-specific mortality: 72 communities of South Korea

Honghyok Kim et al.

Summary: The study found that communities closer to emission sources have higher mortality risk after exposure to PM10; communities with higher material deprivation have higher mortality risk; communities with fewer medical resources experience an increase in cardiovascular mortality risk; communities with higher prevalence of drinking have higher all-cause and cardiovascular mortality; and communities with lower prevalence of smoking have higher risk of respiratory mortality.

COVID-19 mortality in the UK Biobank cohort: revisiting and evaluating risk factors

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.

Air pollution exposure and COVID-19: A look at mortality in Mexico City using individual-level data

Alejandro Lopez-Feldman et al.

Summary: Our study used individual-level data to investigate the relationship between air pollution (PM2.5) and COVID-19 mortality in Mexico City, finding a positive association that increases with age and is mainly driven by long-term exposure. This highlights the importance of reducing air pollution exposure to improve overall public health.

Xiaodan Zhou et al.

Summary: In 2020, wildfires and the COVID-19 pandemic occurred simultaneously in the western United States. Studies have shown that wildfires exacerbated the impact of PM2.5 on COVID-19 cases and deaths, but with significant heterogeneity across counties.

Fei Tian et al.

Summary: The study investigated the impact of environmental factors (such as air pollution and temperature) on COVID-19 case fatality, revealing that exposure to PM2.5, PM10, O-3, NO2, and low temperature increases the risk of COVID-19 fatality, with a greater effect on older individuals and those with mild symptoms.
