Alternatives to Logistic Regression Models when Analyzing Cluster Randomized Trials with Binary Outcomes

Francis L. Huang

Summary: This article discusses the challenges of analyzing binary outcomes in cluster randomized trials using logistic regression and introduces two alternative approaches: the linear probability model and the modified Poisson regression model. Simulation results show that both alternative approaches can provide unbiased estimates with acceptable statistical measures even with a low number of clusters.

Persistent symptoms following SARS-CoV-2 infection amongst children and young people: A meta-analysis of controlled and uncontrolled studies

S. A. Behnood et al.

Summary: There is conflicting data on the long-term impact of SARS-CoV-2 infection in children and young people. This study assessed the evidence on long-term post-COVID symptoms in this population, including prevalence, risk factors, type, and duration. The findings suggest that the frequency of most reported persistent symptoms is similar in COVID-positive cases and controls.

Association of Self-reported COVID-19 Infection and SARS-CoV-2 Serology Test Results With Persistent Physical Symptoms Among French Adults During the COVID-19 Pandemic

Joane Matta et al.

Summary: The study found that self-reported and laboratory-confirmed COVID-19 infections were associated with persistent physical symptoms, with the latter specifically linked to anosmia. It is suggested that persistent symptoms should not be automatically attributed to SARS-CoV-2, and a complete medical evaluation may be needed to properly identify the causes.

Comparative study shows that 1 in 7 Spanish children with COVID-19 symptoms were still experiencing issues after 12 weeks

Maria Bergia et al.

Summary: This study investigated prolonged symptoms in children after COVID-19, including the clinical characteristics and risk factors. The results showed that a significant percentage of children experienced persistent symptoms after infection, especially those who were older than 5 years, hospitalized or admitted to the pediatric intensive care unit (PICU), and had relatives with symptoms lasting longer than 12 weeks.

Long COVID (post-COVID-19 condition) in children: a modified Delphi process

Terence Stephenson et al.

Summary: The objective of this study was to establish a research definition for 'Long COVID (post-COVID-19 condition)' in children and young people (CYP) to enable comparison of research studies. A three-phase online Delphi process and a consensus meeting were conducted. The research definition proposed includes a minimum duration of 12 weeks of persisting physical symptoms after initial testing, impacting everyday functioning and not explained by an alternative diagnosis, in young people with a history of confirmed SARS-CoV-2 infection. This is the first research definition of Long COVID in CYP and aligns with the clinical case definition proposed by the WHO.

Susceptibility to SARS-CoV-2 Infection Among Children and Adolescents Compared With Adults A Systematic Review and Meta-analysis

Russell M. Viner et al.

Summary: This systematic review and meta-analysis found that children and adolescents have a 44% lower odds of secondary infection with SARS-CoV-2 compared to adults, with insufficient data to determine if children transmit the virus less than adults. Preliminary evidence suggests that children have a lower susceptibility to SARS-CoV-2 infection compared with adults, but their role in virus transmission remains unclear.

A Systematic Review of Persistent Symptoms and Residual Abnormal Functioning following Acute COVID-19: Ongoing Symptomatic Phase vs. Post-COVID-19 Syndrome

Glenn Jennings et al.

Summary: The study compared the two phases of long COVID in terms of symptomatology, abnormal functioning, psychological burden, and quality of life, finding a high overlap in symptoms with differences in lung function, psychological issues, and quality of life between ongoing symptomatic COVID-19 and post-COVID-19 syndrome.

Hospitalisation patterns among children exposed to childhood adversity: a population-based cohort study of half a million children

Naja Hulvej Rod et al.

Summary: Children exposed to adversities in childhood have higher hospitalisation rates across various disease categories throughout childhood and early adulthood, with the high adversity group experiencing significantly higher rates. This association is particularly strong for certain diagnoses such as injuries, unspecified symptoms, health service contacts, respiratory and infectious diseases, congenital malformations, and diseases of the nervous system.

Illness duration and symptom profile in symptomatic UK school-aged children tested for SARS-CoV-2

Erika Molteni et al.

Summary: Most school-aged children in the UK with SARS-CoV-2 infection are asymptomatic or experience mild illness, with longer duration and higher symptom burden observed in older children. Persistence of illness is more common in older children, but symptom burden does not increase over time and most recover within 56 days. Children who test negative for SARS-CoV-2 may also experience prolonged illness with higher symptom burden.

Summary: This study characterized symptoms 7 to 9 months after COVID-19 diagnosis. 39% of participants reported residual symptoms, with fatigue being the most common. The findings contribute to recognition of long-term effects of COVID-19 and encourage long-term monitoring by physicians.

Persistence of anti-SARS-CoV-2 antibodies: immunoassay heterogeneity and implications for serosurveillance

Javier Perez-Saez et al.

Summary: This study aimed to quantify the sensitivity of three commercially available SARS-CoV-2 immunoassays in detecting historic infections, with the EuroImmun assay missing 40% of infections after 9 months. Inappropriately accounting for time-varying assay sensitivity may lead to biased serosurvey estimates. Appropriate adjustment of assay performance is crucial for interpreting serological studies in the case of diminishing sensitivity after infection.
