The COVID-19 Pandemic and Cancer Patients in Germany: Impact on Treatment, Follow-Up Care and Psychological Burden

Rachel D. Eckford et al.

Summary: This study investigated the frequency of changes to cancer care and the psychological impact of the COVID-19 pandemic among cancer patients in Germany. The majority of patients did not experience changes to their cancer care, but they reported high levels of anxiety and psycho-social burden throughout the study period.

Resource allocation in the Covid-19 health crisis: are Covid-19 preventive measures consistent with the Rule of Rescue?

Julian W. Maerz et al.

Summary: The Covid-19 pandemic has caused an unprecedented health crisis in post-war Europe, leading to the redirection of a large amount of healthcare resources to preventive measures such as vaccination, testing, and distribution of protective equipment. While these measures are important in epidemiological and economic terms, health economists and medical ethicists have been relatively silent about the ethical reasons underlying the allocation of resources, prompting a need for more attention.

Perceived Care and Well-being of Patients With Cancer and Matched Norm Participants in the COVID-19 Crisis Results of a Survey of Participants in the Dutch PROFILES Registry

Lonneke V. van de Poll-franse et al.

Summary: This cross-sectional study in the Netherlands found that during the COVID-19 crisis, up to 29% of cancer patients had their appointments canceled or replaced by telephone or video consultations. Quality of life, anxiety, and depression were comparable between cancer patients and norm participants, but norm participants reported loneliness more frequently. The study suggests that long-term evaluation is needed to monitor the impact of the crisis on cancer care and patient well-being.

COVID-19 restrictions and age-specific mental health-US probability-based panel evidence

Elvira Sojli et al.

Summary: This study identified that the mental health of young adults (18-34 years old) was the most affected by restrictions during the COVID-19 pandemic, while that of older adults (>55 years old) was less affected. Additionally, demographic and health characteristics associated with differences in mental health varied by age group. The findings emphasize the differentiated mental health needs of different age groups and the importance of targeted responses to the mental health effects of COVID-19 based on age group.
