Mortality comparisons of COVID-19 with all-cause and non-communicable diseases in Cyprus, Iceland and Malta: lessons learned and forward planning

S. Cuschieri et al.

Summary: This study compares COVID-19 mortality with mortality from all causes and common non-communicable diseases (NCDs) in Cyprus, Iceland, and Malta over 8 months. The results show that COVID-19 mortality was generally lower than mortality from NCDs, but there was a significant increase in mortality during the second wave. Population density, an ageing population, and social behavior may play a role in the burden of COVID-19.

COVID-19 panic, solidarity and equity-the Malta exemplary experience

Sarah Cuschieri

Summary: This overview summarizes the measures, legislation, and initiatives taken by Malta to address the COVID-19 pandemic. The situation is currently under control in Malta, with both public and private sectors working together to provide services to the population. Solidarity has spread across the country. However, it is important for the nation to continue following the restrictions and regulations imposed to overcome the pandemic together.

Systematic review with meta-analysis of the accuracy of diagnostic tests for COVID-19

Beatriz Boger et al.

Summary: This study systematically reviewed the accuracy parameters of different diagnostic methods for detecting SARS-CoV-2, finding that computed tomography has high sensitivity but low specificity, while the combination of IgM and IgG antibodies showed promising results. The research also indicated that RT-PCR remains the gold standard for diagnosing COVID-19 in sputum samples, but combining different diagnostic methods can improve accuracy.

The Proportion of SARS-CoV-2 Infections That Are Asymptomatic A Systematic Review

Daniel P. Oran et al.

Summary: Available data suggests that at least one third of SARS-CoV-2 infections are asymptomatic. Longitudinal studies indicate that nearly three quarters of individuals who test positive via PCR but show no symptoms at the time of testing will remain asymptomatic. Control strategies for COVID-19 need to be adjusted considering the prevalence and transmission risk of asymptomatic SARS-CoV-2 infections.

Attributes and predictors of long COVID

Carole H. Sudre et al.

Summary: Reports on long-lasting COVID-19 symptoms, known as 'long COVID', are increasing. Analysis of data from over 4,000 COVID-19 cases revealed that long COVID is more common in older individuals, those with higher body mass index, and females. Experiencing more than five symptoms in the first week of illness was associated with long COVID. A simple model showed promise in distinguishing between short and long COVID cases early in the disease.

Defining Post-COVID Symptoms (Post-Acute COVID, Long COVID, Persistent Post-COVID): An Integrative Classification

Cesar Fernandez-de-las-Penas et al.

Summary: The symptoms of long-haulers of COVID-19 can be classified into potentially infection-related, acute post-COVID, long post-COVID, and persistent post-COVID stages. Establishing time reference points is crucial, while the plethora of symptoms affecting multiple systems suggests the presence of different underlying mechanisms.

Inequalities in population health loss by multiple deprivation: COVID-19 and pre-pandemic all-cause disability-adjusted life years (DALYs) in Scotland

Grant M. A. Wyper et al.

Summary: COVID-19 has significantly impacted population health in Scotland, with marked inequalities observed across different levels of deprivation. The extent of inequality due to COVID-19 is similar to averting all annual DALYs due to diabetes, highlighting the importance of implementing effective policy interventions to reduce health inequalities in recovery and improvement of population health.
