COVID-19 Models for Hospital Surge Capacity Planning: A Systematic Review

Michael G. Klein et al.

Summary: This review focused on models for projecting caseload and hospital capacity requirements over time for COVID-19 preparedness. The study identified 6 models that met criteria, providing valuable information for healthcare professionals and emergency response personnel in scenario-based planning for similar outbreaks.

Epidemiological and genomic findings of the first documented Italian outbreak of SARS-CoV-2 Alpha variant of concern

Laura Amato et al.

Summary: From 24 December 2020 to 8 February 2021, 163 cases of the SARS-CoV-2 Alpha variant of concern were identified in Chieti province, Abruzzo region, Italy. Epidemiological data revealed 14 clusters of infections, with the majority connected to the town of Guardiagrele. Genomic analysis showed a distinct clade formed by sequences from Guardiagrele, suggesting limited viral introductions in early December 2020. The transmission of the Alpha variant primarily occurred within family and friend networks in the region.

SARS-CoV-2 surveillance in Italy through phylogenomic inferences based on Hamming distances derived from pan-SNPs, -MNPs and -InDels

Adriano Di Pasquale et al.

Summary: In the face of the ongoing global pandemic, an Italian research center has established a workflow for accurately identifying PANGO lineages of SARS-CoV-2 samples and building discriminant MST to aid in fast assessment of epidemiological clusters. This method showed higher discriminatory power and speed compared to traditional phylogenomic inference methods.

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.

High throughput detection and genetic epidemiology of SARS-CoV-2 using COVIDSeq next-generation sequencing

Rahul C. Bhoyar et al.

Summary: The study utilized the COVIDSeq protocol for high-throughput detection of SARS-CoV-2, showing high concordance with RT-PCR and potential as a confirmatory test. It also provided insights into the genetic epidemiology of SARS-CoV-2 samples, identifying several new variants.

Multiple detection and spread of novel strains of the SARS-CoV-2 B.1.177 (B.1.177.75) lineage that test negative by a commercially available nucleocapsid gene real-time RT-PCR

Laura Amato et al.

Summary: Various lineages of SARS-CoV-2 are circulating globally. In Abruzzo region, central Italy, diagnostic activities revealed a unique synonymous mutation in the B.1.177.75 lineage, leading to negative N gene tests in some strains. The majority of cases with negative N gene tests are genetically connected and may share a common origin, highlighting the importance of sharing genomic data for linking seemingly unrelated epidemiological clusters.
