The impact of COVID-19-related restrictions in 2020 on sexual healthcare use, pre-exposure prophylaxis use, and sexually transmitted infection incidence among men who have sex with men in Amsterdam, the Netherlands

Feline de la Court et al.

Summary: This study examined the impact of COVID-19-related restrictions on sexual healthcare and PrEP use, as well as the incidence of STIs among MSM. The findings revealed a decrease in care-seeking behavior and PrEP use during the pandemic, suggesting potential delays in STI diagnoses. Measures should be taken to ensure continued access to sexual healthcare during periods of restrictions.

Acute respiratory infection emergency access in a tertiary care children hospital in Italy, prior and after the SARS-CoV-2 emergence

Marta Ciofi degli Atti et al.

Summary: This study aims to describe the epidemiological trend of ARI emergency visits and virology results prior and after the SARS-CoV-2 emergence, and estimate the association of ARI emergency department visits with respiratory viruses. The results showed that prior to the pandemic, RSV and influenza had a clear seasonal pattern, which was interrupted in 2020. In 2021-2022, RSV reached the highest peak observed during the study period, whereas influenza activity was minimal. The peaks of ARI ED visits corresponded to peaks of influenza, RSV, and rhinovirus in previous seasons, to SARS-CoV-2 and rhinovirus in 2020, and to RSV and parainfluenza in 2021-2022.

How did the COVID-19 pandemic affect access to condoms, chlamydia and HIV testing, and cervical cancer screening at a population level in Britain? (Natsal-COVID)

Emily Dema et al.

Summary: This study investigates how access to key interventions to reduce STIs, HIV and their sequelae differed during the COVID-19 pandemic. The findings suggest that there was differential access to these interventions during the pandemic, with certain demographic and behavioral factors associated with greater unmet need. However, there was no strong evidence to suggest that access inequalities have changed compared to the pre-pandemic period.

Disruptions of sexually transmitted and blood borne infections testing services during the COVID-19 pandemic: accounts of service providers in Ontario, Canada

Heeho Ryu et al.

Summary: Since the onset of the COVID-19 pandemic, the availability of sexual health services, including STBBI testing, has been negatively impacted in Ontario, Canada. Service providers have adopted alternative models of testing, such as virtual interventions and self-sampling/testing, which have been found to be more convenient, accessible, safe, comfortable, cost-effective, and less onerous compared to traditional clinic-based models.

Cancer Patients during COVID-19 Pandemic: A Mini-Review

Maryam Linjawi et al.

Summary: Since it emerged, COVID-19 has had a global impact on various industries, including healthcare. Cancer patients are particularly vulnerable due to their compromised immune systems. The scarcity of resources and healthcare workers in hospitals, coupled with increased COVID-19 cases, has disrupted cancer care and led to higher mortality rates among cancer patients.

A Survey on Knowledge, Prevention, and Occurrence of Sexually Transmitted Infections among Freshmen from Four Italian Universities

Luca Cegolon et al.

Summary: This study found that Italian university freshmen had poor knowledge of STIs and their prevention, and those with higher levels of knowledge had an increased risk of STIs. In addition, educational interventions with good quality and long-term follow-ups may be necessary to have population-level effects.

Trends in Sexually Transmitted Infections in United States Ambulatory Care Clinics from 2005-2016

Ikenna Unigwe et al.

Summary: The prevalence of non-HIV sexually transmitted infections (STIs) has increased over the years in U.S. ambulatory-care settings, mainly driven by HPV-related infections, syphilis, and gonorrhea. Younger age, Black race, and HIV diagnosis were associated with higher odds of having STI-related visits.

Seasonal pattern in elderly hospitalized with acute kidney injury: a retrospective nationwide study in Italy

Alfredo De Giorgi et al.

Summary: This study aims to evaluate the possible relationship between seasons and in-hospital mortality (IHM) in elderly hospitalized patients with acute kidney injury (AKI). The results suggest that autumn and winter months are independent risk factors for IHM in patients with AKI, while summer reduces the risk of death during hospitalizations with AKI.

Factors Associated with Health Inequalities in Infectious Disease Pandemics Predating COVID-19 in the United States: A Systematic Review

Karli K. Kondo et al.

Summary: This systematic review examines the factors contributing to health disparities during infectious disease epidemics or pandemics. The findings suggest that inequalities in social conditions leading to differential exposure are the main drivers of pandemic-related disparities, rather than individual-level factors. Policy and systems-level interventions need to address these social determinants in order to reduce health inequities.

Impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on emergency department attendances and acute medical admissions

Michael E. Reschen et al.

Summary: The study analyzed the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on hospital healthcare by comparing patient records from the emergency department and acute medicine department of a major UK hospital during the pandemic and the previous year. During the first wave, there was a significant decrease in ED attendance and medical admissions, with a subsequent return to normal levels within a year. COVID-19 admissions were more common in minority ethnic groups, while non-COVID-19 admissions had higher rates of hypertension, cerebrovascular disease, liver disease, and obesity.

Evaluating access to health and care services during lockdown by the COVID-19 survey in five UK national longitudinal studies

Constantin-Cristian Topriceanu et al.

Summary: The study found that during the COVID-19 pandemic, women and individuals with chronic illnesses were significantly more affected by cancellations of surgical or medical appointments. Ethnic minorities and individuals with chronic illnesses required more care hours during the lockdown. Socioeconomic position was not associated with cancellation or care hours, and age was not independently associated with the outcomes.

Summary: This study explored the perceptions of NHS employees working within a UK mental health trust in relation to the social impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic. Results showed that the majority of employees felt a fundamental change in how they interacted with others, with many losing confidence in emotional connections, while safety measures could potentially have detrimental effects on communication and rapport within the workplace.
