Near-term impact of COVID-19 pandemic on seniors? crash size and severity

Saba Doulabi et al.

Summary: Recent research has shown that the COVID-19 pandemic has led to significant changes in travel demand, traffic volumes, and traffic safety measures. Despite the reduction in traffic volumes, crash rates have increased across different states during the pandemic, especially among older drivers. This study aims to examine the near-term impact of the pandemic on crash size and severity among older drivers and identifies several contributing factors.

Crash harm before and during the COVID-19 pandemic: Evidence for spatial heterogeneity in Tennessee

A. Latif Patwary et al.

Summary: Major concerns have been raised about the increase in crash fatalities during the COVID-19 pandemic in the US, despite the decrease in traffic. This study analyzes the correlation between fatalities, crashes, and crash harm using a comprehensive time-series database in Tennessee. The results indicate that fatal crashes during the pandemic are associated with more speeding and reckless behaviors, varied across jurisdictions, and involve commercial trucks. Policymakers can use these findings to strengthen traffic law enforcement through appropriate countermeasures.

Summary: Surgical patients with peri-operative or recent SARS-CoV-2 infection are at increased risk of postoperative venous thromboembolism compared to those without a history of SARS-CoV-2. However, the optimal prophylaxis and treatment for venous thromboembolism in this patient population remains unknown. Venous thromboembolism is independently associated with 30-day mortality.

Changes in Prevalence and Severity of Domestic Violence During the COVID-19 Pandemic: A Systematic Review

Freya Thiel et al.

Summary: Based on a systematic review of empirical studies from different countries, it was found that during the COVID-19 pandemic, there was a significant increase in the severity of domestic violence (DV) as well as the prevalence of psychological/emotional and sexual DV. However, the evidence for changes in prevalence regarding economic/financial, physical, and overall DV remains inconclusive. The findings highlight the need for increased awareness and knowledge about DV, as well as accessible resources and clinical interventions.

Impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on suicidal attempts and death rates: a systematic review

Malshani L. Pathirathna et al.

Summary: The COVID-19 pandemic has increased the risk factors for suicidal behavior, and this study systematically reviewed global evidence on the incidence and trends of suicide and suicidal attempts during the pandemic. The mental health impact of social distancing, quarantine, and financial crises were identified as associated risk factors. Six common recommendations for preventing suicide were identified. Considering domestic conflicts and violence, financial loss, anxiety and depression, and pre-existing mental health conditions is important in preventing suicide during the COVID-19 pandemic. Early detection and timely intervention are crucial, and the recommendations from this study can be utilized for preventive interventions.
