The Effect of Race and Socioeconomic Status on Hospitalized Patients with COVID-19 Infection

Arjun Kanwal et al.

Summary: The study found that there was no statistically significant difference between race or socioeconomic status and COVID-19 related inpatient mortality, but Black patients and individuals in the lower to middle socioeconomic group had a higher rate of COVID-19 hospitalizations. Efforts to distribute resources equitably should focus on disproportionately affected populations.

Assessment and characterisation of post-COVID-19 manifestations

Marwa Kamal et al.

Summary: The study found that the majority of COVID-19 survivors experience post-viral symptoms, with fatigue being the most common, and some experiencing severe complications such as stroke and myocarditis. The presence of comorbidities prior to COVID-19 infection is related to the severity of post-COVID-19 manifestations.

Effects of coronavirus disease-2019 on voice: our experience of laryngeal complications following mechanical ventilation in severe coronavirus disease-2019 pneumonitis and review of current literature

Natalie A. Watson et al.

Summary: Recent research has shown that patients with COVID-19 who require intubation are at increased risk for subsequent laryngotracheal injury, with certain patient-specific risk factors playing a role. Post-intubation laryngological complications in COVID-19 patients often require surgical intervention, with comorbidities such as hypertension, diabetes, and obesity being associated with the need for surgery. Dysphonia following COVID-19 infection may have multiple causes, including intubation injury, sensory neuropathy, and postviral neuropathy, with surgical intervention and antireflux medications showing some improvement in symptoms.

A Prospective Study of Voice, Swallow, and Airway Outcomes Following Tracheostomy for COVID-19

Maral J. Rouhani et al.

Summary: The COVID-19 pandemic has led to unprecedented demands on healthcare, especially in terms of intubation and tracheostomy insertion. This study found a high incidence of laryngeal injury in patients who underwent these procedures during the COVID-19 pandemic, emphasizing the need for further research on the evolution of complications in these patients.

Racial Disparities in COVID-19 Testing and Outcomes Retrospective Cohort Study in an Integrated Health System

Gabriel J. Escobar et al.

Summary: Racial disparities exist in outcomes after SARS-CoV-2 infection, with race being the most important predictor of infection and associated with increased hospitalization risk but not mortality. Adjusted analyses showed no racial differences in inpatient mortality or total mortality during the study period.
