How to detect and reduce potential sources of biases in studies of SARS-CoV-2 and COVID-19

Emma K. Accorsi et al.

Summary: In response to the COVID-19 pandemic, public health scientists have produced a large body of literature, but observational studies may be biased due to confounding, selection bias, and measurement error. To accurately evaluate these studies and guide future research design, attention needs to be paid to and solutions proposed for potential biases.

Seroprevalence of Anti-SARS-CoV-2 IgG and IgM among Adults over 65 Years Old in the South of Italy

Immacolata Polvere et al.

Summary: This observational study in South Italy estimated the prevalence of SARS-CoV-2 specific antibodies in elderly adults, with an overall seroprevalence of 4.70% and a higher proportion testing positive for IgM. Detection of viral RNA remains the gold standard for identifying infected patients, while antibody response to SARS-CoV-2 antigens shows individual variability even in asymptomatic individuals.

Prevalence of IgG antibodies against SARS-CoV-2 among healthcare workers in a tertiary pediatric hospital in Poland

Beata Kasztelewicz et al.

Summary: This study aimed to assess the SARS-CoV-2 IgG positivity among healthcare workers in a pediatric hospital in Warsaw, Poland, and found that the persistence of SARS-CoV-2 IgG antibodies was short. The low seroprevalence suggests that this population is vulnerable to a second wave of the COVID-19 pandemic.

Seroprevalence of SARS-CoV-2 infection in healthcare workers in a large teaching hospital in the North West of England: a period prevalence survey

Robert John Shorten et al.

Summary: The study evaluated the infection levels of healthcare workers, finding higher seroprevalence in Asian/Asian British and Black/Black British staff, with clinical staff more likely to develop antibodies. Around 30.7% of symptomatic staff tested positive for antibodies.

SARS-CoV-2 Antibody Screening in Healthcare Workers in Non-Infectious Hospitals in Two Different Regions of Southern Poland (Upper Silesia and Opole Voivodeships): A Prospective Cohort Study

Rafal Jakub Buldak et al.

Summary: The study found that the IgG positivity rate among asymptomatic healthcare workers ranged from 1.2% to 10%, while the IgA and IgM positivity rates were 8.8% and 7.14% and 1.11% and 2.38%, respectively. More research is needed to determine the generalizability of these results to other populations and geographic and socio-demographic locations.

Seroprevalence of Anti-SARS-CoV-2 Antibodies in a Random Sample of Inhabitants of the Katowice Region, Poland

Jan E. Zejda et al.

Summary: The lack of knowledge about the seroprevalence levels of COVID-19 in Poland led to the implementation of a seroepidemiological study in the Katowice Region. The study found a higher prevalence of SARS-CoV-2 infection in Poland during October-November 2020 compared to earlier estimates in other European countries, likely due to measurements taken during the second wave of the epidemic. Factors such as contact with COVID-19 patients, quarantine, and symptoms like fever and loss of smell/taste were significantly associated with positive IgG tests, while IgM positivity was only associated with quarantine and loss of smell/taste.

SARS-CoV-2 antibody seroprevalence after the first wave among workers at a community healthcare system in the Greater Boston area

Lou Ann Bruno-Murtha et al.

Summary: The study investigated the seroprevalence among healthcare workers in Massachusetts at the end of the first wave of the SARS-CoV-2 pandemic, showing that participating HCWs had a lower cumulative incidence of SARS-CoV-2 RT-PCR positivity compared to non-participants. The estimates for low, medium, and high seroprevalence were 8.1%, 11.3%, and 14.5%, with weighted estimates after accounting for participation bias ranging from 13.9% to 24.9% for the entire healthcare system population.

Summary: This study aimed to compare the occurrence of positive SARS-CoV-2 IgG and IgM tests in subjects with and without recent seasonal influenza vaccinations. It found that seasonal influenza vaccination remains an independent factor protecting against positive IgG tests.

COVID-19 Surveillance in the Primary Health Care Population of Qatar: Experience of Prioritizing Timeliness Over Representativeness When Sampling the Population

Hamda Abdulla AQotba et al.

Summary: This study discussed the impact of two different sampling methodologies on the estimation of COVID-19 point prevalence, finding significant differences in age and nationality between the two groups. The open invitation group reported more frequent COVID-19 symptoms and overestimated the symptomatic prevalence rate compared to the random sample, while also overestimating the overall active COVID-19 cases.

Prevalence of Anti-SARS-CoV-2 Antibodies in Poznan, Poland, after the First Wave of the COVID-19 Pandemic

Dagny Lorent et al.

Summary: Poland reported a relatively low number of confirmed COVID-19 cases in the early months of the pandemic compared to other European countries. A serosurvey conducted after the first wave of COVID-19 in Europe found that 1.67% of the Poznan metropolitan area's population had antibodies against SARS-CoV-2, with a decrease in seroprevalence to 0.93%. Age, occupation with constant contact, travel, non-compliance with recommendations, and direct contact with the virus were associated with positive antibody results.
