"A cross-sectional study of the relationship between exercise, physical activity, and health-related quality of life among Japanese workers during the COVID-19 pandemic","Background: Exercise and physical activity positively affect physical and mental health, and healthy workers contribute to increased work productivity. This study aimed to investigate time spent on exercise during leisure time and physical activity, including time at work, in relation to health-related quality of life (HRQOL) among Japanese workers. Methods: An Internet-based national health survey --Collaborative Online Research on Novel-coronavirus and Work study (CoRoNaWork study)-- was conducted among 33,087 Japanese workers in December 2020. After excluding invalid responses, 27,036 participants were categorized into four and five groups according to exercise time and physical activity time, respectively. Each group's scores were compared on each of the four questions on the Japanese version of the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention Health-Related Quality of Life (CDC HRQOL-4) between each group using a linear mixed model. Age-sex adjusted and multivariate models were used to compare each index of the CDC HRQOL-4.","Ryosuke Sugano; Kazunori Ikegami; Hisashi Eguchi; Mayumi Tsuji; Seiichiro Tateishi; Tomohisa Nagata; Shinya Matsuda; Yoshihisa Fujino; Akira Ogami","https://medrxiv.org/cgi/content/short/2021.06.15.21259002","20210618","","medRxiv","Undecided","","","","","","","","","","","","","False","False","","","","","False","False","False","","False","False","False","False","False","False","False","False","False","","","","","","","","","","","","","","","","","","","","","","","","","","","","","","","","","","","","","","","","","","","","","","","","","","","","2021-06-19","",15074,""
"Long COVID symptoms from Reddit: Characterizing post-COVID syndrome from patient reports","Objective To mine Reddit to discover long-COVID symptoms self-reported by users, compare symptom distributions across studies, and create a symptom lexicon. Materials and Methods We retrieved posts from the /r/covidlonghaulers subreddit and extracted symptoms via approximate matching using an expanded meta-lexicon. We mapped the extracted symptoms to standard concept IDs, compared their distributions with those reported in recent literature and analyzed their distributions over time. Results From 42,995 posts by 4249 users, we identified 1744 users who expressed at least 1 symptom. The most frequently reported long-COVID symptoms were mental health-related symptoms (55.2%), fatigue (51.2%), general ache/pain (48.4%), brain fog/confusion (32.8%) and dyspnea (28.9%) amongst users reporting at least 1 symptom. Comparison with recent literature revealed a large variance in reported symptoms across studies. Temporal analysis showed several persistent symptoms up to 15 months after infection. Conclusion The spectrum of symptoms identified from Reddit may provide early insights about long-COVID.","Abeed Sarker; Yao Ge","https://medrxiv.org/cgi/content/short/2021.06.15.21259004","20210618","","medRxiv","Undecided","","","","","","","","","","","","","False","False","","","","","False","False","False","","False","False","False","False","False","False","False","False","False","","","","","","","","","","","","","","","","","","","","","","","","","","","","","","","","","","","","","","","","","","","","","","","","","","","","2021-06-19","",15075,""
"Specificity and Mechanism of Coronavirus, Rotavirus and Mammalian Two-Histidine-Phosphoesterases That Antagonize Antiviral Innate Immunity","2,5-oligoadenylate(2-5A)-dependent endoribonuclease, RNase L, is a principal mediator of the interferon (IFN) antiviral response. Therefore, regulation of cellular levels of 2-5A is a key point of control in antiviral innate immunity. Cellular 2-5A levels are determined by IFN-inducible 2,5-oligoadenylate synthetases (OASs) and by enzymes that degrade 2-5A. Importantly, many coronaviruses and rotaviruses encode 2-5A degrading enzymes thereby antagonizing RNase L and its antiviral effects. A-kinase anchoring protein 7 (AKAP7), a mammalian counterpart, could possibly limit tissue damage from excessive or prolonged RNase L activation during viral infections or from self double-stranded-RNAs that activate OAS. We show these enzymes, members of the two-histidine-phosphoesterase (2H-PE) superfamily, constitute a sub-family referred here as 2,5-PEs. 2,5-PEs from mouse coronavirus (CoV) MHV (NS2), MERS-CoV (NS4b), group A rotavirus (VP3), and mouse (AKAP7) were investigated for their evolutionary relationships and activities. While there was no activity against 3,5-oligoribonucleotides, all cleaved 2,5-oligoadenylates efficiently, but with variable activity against other 2,5-oligonucleotides. The 2,5-PEs are shown to be metal ion-independent enzymes that cleave trimer 2-5A (2,5-p3A3) producing mono- or di- adenylates with 2,3-cyclic phosphate termini. Our results suggest that elimination of 2-5A might be the sole function of viral 2,5-PEs, thereby promoting viral escape from innate immunity by preventing or limiting the activation of RNase L.

IMPORTANCEViruses often encode accessory proteins that antagonize the host antiviral immune response. Here we probed the evolutionary relationships and biochemical activities of two-histidine-phosphoesterases (2H-PEs) that allow some coronaviruses and rotaviruses to counteract antiviral innate immunity. In addition, we investigated the mammalian enzyme, AKAP7, which has homology and shared activities with the viral enzymes and might reduce self-injury. These viral and host enzymes, that we refer to as 2,5-PEs, specifically degrade 2,5-oligoadenylate activators of the antiviral enzyme RNase L. We show that the host and viral enzymes are metal ion independent and exclusively cleave 2,5- and not 3,5-phosphodiester bonds, producing cleavage products with cyclic 2,3-phosphate termini. Our study defines 2,5-PEs as enzymes that share characteristic conserved features with the 2H-PE superfamily but which have specific and distinct biochemical cleavage activities. These findings may eventually lead to pharmacologic strategies for developing antiviral drugs against coronaviruses, rotaviruses, and other viruses.","Abhishek Asthana; Christina Gaughan; Susan R.

"The association between opioids, environmental, demographic, and socioeconomic indicators and COVID-19 mortality rates in the United States: an ecological study at the county level","Background The spread of the COVID-19 pandemic throughout the world presents an unprecedented challenge to public health inequities  People who use opioids may be a vulnerable group disproportionately impacted by the current pandemic, however, the limited prior research in this area makes it unclear whether COVID-19 and opioid use outcomes may be related, and whether other environmental and socioeconomic factors might play a role in explaining COVID-19 mortality  The objective of this study is to evaluate the association between opioid-related mortality and COVID-19 mortality across U S  counties  Methods Data from 3142 counties across the U S  were used to model the cumulative count of deaths due to COVID-19 up to June 2, 2020  A multivariable negative-binomial regression model was employed to evaluate the adjusted COVID-19 mortality rate ratios (aMRR)  Results After controlling for covariates, counties with higher rates of opioid-related mortality per 100,000 persons were found to be significantly associated with higher rates of COVID-19 mortality (aMRR: 1 0134;95% CI [1 0054, 1 0214];P = 0 001)  Counties with higher average daily Particulate Matter (PM2 5) exposure also saw significantly higher rates of COVID-19 mortality  Analyses revealed rural counties, counties with higher percentages of non-Hispanic whites, and counties with increased average maximum temperatures are significantly associated with lower mortality rates from COVID-19  Conclusions This study indicates need for public health efforts in hard hit COVID-19 regions to also focus prevention efforts on overdose risk among people who use opioids  Future studies using individual-level data are needed to allow for detailed inferences","Fares, Qeadan, Mensah, Nana Akofua, Tingey, Benjamin, Bern, Rona, Rees, Tracy, Erin Fanning, Madden, Porucznik, Christina A.; English, Kevin, Honda, Trenton","https://doi.org/10.1186/s13690-021-00626-z","","Database: ProQuest Central; Publication details: Archives of Public Health; 79:1-8, 2021.; Publication details: Archives of Public Health; 79:1-8, 2021.; Publication type: article","WHO","Undecided","","","","","","","","","","","","","False","False","","","","","False","False","False","","False","False","False","False","False","False","False","False","False","","","","","","","","","","","","","","","","","","","","","","","","","","","","","","","","","","","","","","","","","","","","","","","","","","","","2021-06-19","",15116,""

"Eating behavior and determinants of weight gain in French adults during the COVID-19 lockdown: perceived trends (Coviprev, 2020)","Introduction - To cope with the COVID-19 pandemic in France, a lockdown of the population was instituted from 17 March to 11 May 2020, causing a disruption of daily routines for many people  From the start of this lockdown, Sante publique France set up a survey to monitor health behaviors (CoviPrev)  This article presents the results on the perceived change in eating behaviors relative to before lockdown and the determinants of weight gain  Methods - Two independent samples each composed of 2,000 people aged 18 and over living in metropolitan France were interviewed online during the third (W3, 5th week of lockdown) and sixth (W6, 8th week of lockdown) survey waves while in lockdown  In W3, the reported changes in eating behavior, sports activity and body weight were analyzed in a descriptive manner  Logistic regressions were performed to assess factors associated with weight gain  Possible changes in snacking and body weight were estimated by rewinding questions related to these variables in W6 and comparing to W3 data by Chi-square tests  Results - Among the W3 respondents, 37% reported having ""modified their diet"" without difference according to sex  Women were however more likely than men to report a change in some behaviors: they cooked and nibbled more, consumed more products high in fat, sugar or salt (HFSS), had more or less appetite, paid more attention to their weight  Most behaviors studied were impacted for 25 to 40% of respondents: for example, 37% of participants reported cooking homemade meals more often than usual  Among the W3 respondents, 27% reported weight gain and 11% reported weight loss  No significant association was observed between weight gain and age or gender, but positive associations were observed with perceiving one's financial situation as difficult, eating more than usual, snacking more, having more appetite, having reduced fruit and vegetable consumption, increased HFSS products, less sports activity, having depression disorders and sleep disorders  Among the W6 respondents, 27% reported more snacking vs 22% in W3 and 36% reported weight gain vs 27% in W3  Conclusion - This study highlights an impact of lockdown on several eating behaviors, especially for women  While this context may have increased home cooking, other unhealthy changes occurred such as increased snacking and weight gain  These results suggest that repeated lockdowns could worsen health issues such as diet related non communicable diseases  Therefore eating behaviors and body weight need to be monitored, and public health measures must be supported to encourage or sustain healthy eating habits","Delamaire, C.; Sarda, B.; Ducrot, P.; Verdot, C.; Deschamps, V.; Serry, A.

"Psoriasis","Psoriasis is a common, chronic papulosquamous skin disease occurring worldwide, presenting at any age, and leading to a substantial burden for individuals and society. It is associated with several important medical conditions, including depression, psoriatic arthritis, and cardiometabolic syndrome. Its most common form, chronic plaque or psoriasis vulgaris, is a consequence of genetic susceptibility, particularly in the presence of the HLA-C*06:02 risk allele, and of environmental triggers such as streptococcal infection, stress, smoking, obesity, and alcohol consumption. There are several phenotypes and research has separated pustular from chronic plaque forms. Immunological and genetic studies have identified IL-17 and IL-23 as key drivers of psoriasis pathogenesis. Immune targeting of these cytokines and of TNF&#945; by biological therapies has revolutionised the care of severe chronic plaque disease. Psoriasis cannot currently be cured, but management should aim to minimise physical and psychological harm by treating patients early in the disease process, identifying and preventing associated multimorbidity, instilling lifestyle modifications, and employing a personalised approach to treatment.","Griffiths, Christopher E M; Armstrong, April W; Gudjonsson, Johann E; Barker, Jonathan N W N","https://dx.doi.org/10.1016/S0140-6736(20)32549-6","","Country: GB; REINO UNIDO; UNITED KINGDOM; REINO UNIDO; UK; GREAT BRITAIN; INGLATERRA; ENGLAND; ESCOCIA; SCOTLAND; Database: MEDLINE; Publication details: Lancet;397(10281): 1301-1315, 2021 Apr 03.; Publication details: Lancet;397(10281): 1301-1315, 2021 Apr 03.; Publication type: article","WHO","Undecided","","","","","","","","","","","","","False","False","","","","","False","False","False","","False","False","False","False","False","False","False","False","False","","","","","","","","","","","","","","","","","","","","","","","","","","","","","","","","","","","","","","","","","","","","","","","","","","","","2021-06-19","",15133,""

"The use of Qualitative Comparative Analysis (QCA) to address causality in complex systems: a systematic review of research on public health interventions","BACKGROUND: Qualitative Comparative Analysis (QCA) is a method for identifying the configurations of conditions that lead to specific outcomes. Given its potential for providing evidence of causality in complex systems, QCA is increasingly used in evaluative research to examine the uptake or impacts of public health interventions. We map this emerging field, assessing the strengths and weaknesses of QCA approaches identified in published studies, and identify implications for future research and reporting. METHODS: PubMed, Scopus and Web of Science were systematically searched for peer-reviewed studies published in English up to December 2019 that had used QCA methods to identify the conditions associated with the uptake and/or effectiveness of interventions for public health. Data relating to the interventions studied (settings/level of intervention/populations), methods (type of QCA, case level, source of data, other methods used) and reported strengths and weaknesses of QCA were extracted and synthesised narratively. RESULTS: The search identified 1384 papers, of which 27 (describing 26 studies) met the inclusion criteria. Interventions evaluated ranged across: nutrition/obesity (n = 8); physical activity (n = 4); health inequalities (n = 3); mental health (n = 2); community engagement (n = 3); chronic condition management (n = 3); vaccine adoption or implementation (n = 2); programme implementation (n = 3); breastfeeding (n = 2), and general population health (n = 1). The majority of studies (n = 24) were of interventions solely or predominantly in high income countries. Key strengths reported were that QCA provides a method for addressing causal complexity; and that it provides a systematic approach for understanding the mechanisms at work in implementation across contexts. Weaknesses reported related to data availability limitations, especially on ineffective interventions. The majority of papers demonstrated good knowledge of cases, and justification of case selection, but other criteria of methodological quality were less comprehensively met. CONCLUSION: QCA is a promising approach for addressing the role of context in complex interventions, and for identifying causal configurations of conditions that predict implementation and/or outcomes when there is sufficiently detailed understanding of a series of comparable cases. As the use of QCA in evaluative health research increases, there may be a need to develop advice for public health researchers and journals on minimum criteria for quality and reporting.","Hanckel, Benjamin; Petticrew, Mark; Thomas, James; Green, Judith","https://dx.doi.org/10.1186/s12889-021-10926-2","","Country: GB; REINO UNIDO; UNITED KINGDOM; REINO UNIDO; UK; GREAT BRITAIN; INGLATERRA; ENGLAND; ESCOCIA; SCOTLAND; Database: MEDLINE; Publication details: BMC Public Health;21(1): 877, 2021 05 07.; Publication details: BMC Public Health;21(1): 877, 2021 05 07.; Population Health; Public Health; Causality; Exercise; Humans; Mental Health; Publication type: article","WHO","Undecided","","","","","","","","","","","","","False","False","","","","","False","False","False","","False","False","False","False","False","False","False","False","False","","","","","","","","","","","","","","","","","","","","","","","","","","","","","","","","","","","","","","","","","","","","","","","","","","","","2021-06-19","",15135,""
"Potential impact of a COVID-19 and smoking paper on Twitter users' attitudes toward smoking: Observational Study","BACKGROUND: A cross-sectional study conducted by French researchers showed that the rate of current daily smoking was significantly lower in COVID-19 patients than in the French general population. OBJECTIVE: We aim to examine the dissemination of this Miyara et al. study among Twitter users and whether a shift in their attitudes towards smoking occurred after its publication on April 21st, 2020. METHODS: Twitter posts were crawled between April 14th and May 4th, 2020 by the Tweepy stream API, using a COVID-19 related keyword query. After filtering, the final 1,929 tweets were classified into three groups: 1) tweets not related to Miyara et al. study before it was published; 2) tweets not related to Miyara et al. study after it was published; 3) tweets related to Miyara et al. study after it was published. The tweets' attitudes towards smoking were compared among the above three groups using multinomial logistic regression models in statistical analysis software R. RESULTS: The temporal analysis showed a peak in the number of tweets discussing the results from the Miyara et al. study right after its publication. Multinomial logistic regression models on sentiment scores showed the proportion of negative attitudes toward smoking in tweets related to Miyara et al. study after it was published (17.07%) was significantly lower than tweets not related to the Miyara et al. study either before (34.92%, P < 0.001) or after the Miyara et al. study was published (34.34%, P < 0.001). CONCLUSIONS: The public's attitude toward smoking shifted in a positive direction after the Miyara et al. study found a lower incidence of COVID-19 cases in daily smokers.","Tao, Chunliang; Diaz, Destiny; Xie, Zidian; Chen, Long; Li, Dongmei; O' Connor, Richard","https://dx.doi.org/10.2196/25010","","Country: CA; CANADÃ; CANADA; CANADA; Database: MEDLINE; Publication details: JMIR Form Res;2021 Apr 22.; Publication details: JMIR Form Res;2021 Apr 22.; Publication type: article","WHO","Undecided","","","","","","","","","","","","","False","False","","","","","False","False","False","","False","False","False","False","False","False","False","False","False","","","","","","","","","","","","","","","","","","","","","","","","","","","","","","","","","","","","","","","","","","","","","","","","","","","","2021-06-19","",15136,""

"Forecasting mental health and emotions based on social media expressions during the COVID-19 pandemic","Purpose: The purpose of this paper is to present an approach for forecasting mental health conditions and emotions of a given population during the COVID-19 pandemic in Argentina based on social media contents  Design/methodology/approach: Mental health conditions and emotions are captured via markers, which link social media contents with lexicons  First, the authors build time series models that describe the evolution of markers and their correlation with crisis events  Second, the authors use the time series for forecasting markers and identifying high prevalence points for the estimated markers  Findings: The authors evaluated different forecasting strategies that yielded different performance and capabilities  In the best scenario, high prevalence periods of emotions and mental health issues can be satisfactorily predicted with a neural network strategy, even at early stages of a crisis (e g  a training period of seven days)  Practical implications: This work contributes to a better understanding of how psychological processes related to crises manifest in social media, and this is a valuable asset for the design, implementation and monitoring of health prevention and communication policies  Originality/value: Although there have been previous efforts to predict mental states of individuals, the analysis of mental health at the collective level has received scarce attention  The authors take a step forward by proposing a forecasting approach for analyzing the mental health of a given population at a larger scale  Â© 2021, Emerald Publishing Limited","Tommasel, A.; Diaz-Pace, A.; Rodriguez, J.

"The impact of strict and forced confinement due to the COVID-19 pandemic on positive functioning variables, emotional distress, and posttraumatic growth in a Spanish sample","Background: The adverse consequences of the COVID-19 pandemic on mental health have been widely studied in recent months  However, few studies have examined the protective psychological factors that may explain how individuals are coping with the COVID-19 pandemic and its forced confinements  Objective: This study analyzes the impact of confinement due to the COVID-19 pandemic on positive functioning variables (resilience, meaning of life, gratitude, compassion, life satisfaction), emotional distress (depression, anxiety, perceived stress, affect), and posttraumatic growth (PTG)  The impact was measured during and after the first month of strict and obligatory confinement in Spain  Methods: The sample was composed of 438 Spanish residents (78 3% women) between the ages of 18 and 68 (M =Â 35 68;SDÂ =Â 13 19) during the first stage (first two weeks) of confinement  The sample was reduced to 197 participants during the second stage (fifth week) of confinement  Several online self-reported questionnaires were administered to assess positive functioning variables, emotional distress, and PTG  Results: Women, youths, individuals without a partner, with lower monetary incomes, or diagnosed with a mental disorder or chronic illness experienced lower scores in positive functioning variables and greater emotional distress during the first stage of confinement  Linear mixed models showed that scores on positive functioning variables, emotional distress, and PTG worsened in the second stage of confinement  Nevertheless, a structural equations model showed that increases in positive functioning variables in the second stage were associated with increases in life satisfaction (R2Â =Â  450) and related to decreases in emotional distress (R2Â =Â  186), leading in turn to increases in PTG (R2Â =Â  061)  Conclusions: Individuals could experience PTG during strict and mandatory confinement  The increase in PTG during this adverse event was indirectly associated with increases in positive functioning variables (i e  gratitude, presence of meaning, resilience), through improvements in life satisfaction and emotional distress  Â© 2021 The Author(s)  Published by Informa UK Limited, trading as Taylor & Francis Group","Miragall, M.; Herrero, R.; Vara, M.

"Order out of chaos: Sense of coherence and the mediating role of coping resources in explaining mental health during COVID-19 in 7 countries","In the midst of the COVID-19 pandemic and the universal chaos created by it, this study explores the role of sense of coherence (Soc, Antonovsky, 1979) and how it enables coping with a stressful situation and staying well  SOC is a generalized orientation which allows one to perceive the world as comprehensible, manageable, and meaningful  In an attempt to understand â€˜how does the SOC workâ€™ we employed the salutogenic assumption that a strong SOC allows one to reach out in any given situation and find those resources appropriate to the specific stressor  Thus, we hypothesized that the positive impact of SOC on mental health outcomes would be mediated through coping resources that are particularly salient in times of crisis  One resource is related to the micro level (perceived family support) and the other concerns the macro level (trust in leaders and social-political institutions)  Data collection was conducted in different countries during Mayâ€“June 2020 via online platforms  The data included 7 samples of adult participants (age 18â€“90) from Israel (nÂ <U+200B>=Â <U+200B>669), Italy (nÂ <U+200B>=Â <U+200B>899), Spain (nÂ <U+200B>=Â <U+200B>476), Germany (nÂ <U+200B>=Â <U+200B>708), Austria (nÂ <U+200B>=Â <U+200B>1026), Switzerland (nÂ <U+200B>=Â <U+200B>147), and the U S  (nÂ <U+200B>=Â <U+200B>506)  The questionnaires included standard tools (MHC-SF, SOC-13) as well as questionnaires of perceived family support and trust that were adapted to the pandemic context  As expected, SOC was associated with mental health in all the samples  Perceived family support and trust in leaders and social-political institutions mediated the relationships between SOC and mental health, controlling for age, gender, and level of financial risk  It appears that SOC has a universal meaning, not limited by cultural and situational characteristics  The discussion focuses on the theoretical, social, and political applications of the salutogenic model â€“ and its core concept of SOC â€“ in the context of coping with a global pandemic across different cultural contexts and countries","Mana, A.; Bauer, G.

"Treating two pandemics for the price of one: Chronic and infectious disease impacts of the built and natural environment","Compact walkable environments with greenspace support physical activity and reduce the risk for depression and several obesity-related chronic diseases, including diabetes and heart disease  Recent evidence confirms that these chronic diseases increase the severity of COVID-19 infection and mortality risk  Conversely, denser transit supportive environments may increase risk of exposure to COVID-19 suggesting the potential for contrasting chronic versus infectious disease impacts of community design  A handful of recent studies have examined links between density and COVID-19 mortality rates reporting conflicting results  Population density has been used as a surrogate of urban form to capture the degree of walkability and public transit versus private vehicle travel demand  The current study employs a broader range of built environment features (density, design, and destination accessibility) and assesses how chronic disease mediates the relationship between built and natural environment and COVID-19 mortality  Negative and significant relationships are observed between built and natural environment features and COVID-19 mortality when accounting for the mediating effect of chronic disease  Findings underscore the importance of chronic disease when assessing relationships between COVID-19 mortality and community design  Based on a rigorous simulation-assisted random parameter path analysis framework, we further find that the relationships between COVID-19 mortality, obesity, and key correlates exhibit significant heterogeneity  Ignoring this heterogeneity in highly aggregate spatial data can lead to incorrect conclusions with regards to the relationship between built environment and COVID-19 transmission  Results presented here suggest that creating walkable environments with greenspace is associated with reduced risk of chronic disease and/or COVID-19 infection and mortality","Frank, Lawrence D.; Wali, Behram","https://doi.org/10.1016/j.scs.2021.103089","","Database: ScienceDirect; Publication details: Sustainable Cities and Society;: 103089, 2021.; Publication details: Sustainable Cities and Society;: 103089, 2021.; Publication type: article","WHO","Undecided","","","","","","","","","","","","","False","False","","","","","False","False","False","","False","False","False","False","False","False","False","False","False","","","","","","","","","","","","","","","","","","","","","","","","","","","","","","","","","","","","","","","","","","","","","","","","","","","","2021-06-19","",15145,""

"Exploring variables related to medical surrogate decision-making accuracy during the COVID-19 pandemic","Objective Surrogate medical decision making is common in the United States healthcare system  Variables that may influence surrogate decision making have been proposed  Little work has examined relations between these variables and outcomes of surrogate decision making  This study investigated whether surrogatesâ€™ characteristics, including their knowledge of treatment options, and interpersonal factors predicted surrogatesâ€™ accuracy and intervention selections  Specifically, predictor variables included: trust in the medical profession, trait-level anxiety, depression, anxiety about COVID-19, religiosity, perceived emotional support, understanding of treatment options, empathy, willingness to accept responsibility for medical decisions, reluctance to burden others, and perceived similarity between oneself and the patient  Methods 154 pairs of patients and their surrogates completed an online survey  Patients indicated preferred treatments in hypothetical decision scenarios  Surrogates indicated the treatment that they thought the patient would prefer  Results When taken all together in a predictive model, the variables significantly predicted surrogates' accuracy, F (6) = 3 03, R 2 = 12, p = 008  Variables also predicted selection of intensive interventions, F (4) = 5 95, R 2 = 14, p = 00  Surrogates reporting greater anxiety about COVID-19 selected more intensive interventions  Conclusions Consistent with prior research, this study found that surrogatesâ€™ characteristics influence the interventions they choose, with anxiety about COVID-19 having considerable bearing on their chosen interventions  Practice Implications These findings can inform development of decision-making interventions to improve surrogatesâ€™ accuracy  Providers may attend to variables highlighted by this study to support surrogates, particularly within the stressful context of COVID-19 and possible future pandemics","Spalding, Rachael L.; Edelstein, Barry","https://doi.org/10.1016/j.pec.2021.06.011","","Database: ScienceDirect; Publication details: Patient Education and Counseling;2021.; Publication details: Patient Education and Counseling;2021.; Publication type: article","WHO","Undecided","","","","","","","","","","","","","False","False","","","","","False","False","False","","False","False","False","False","False","False","False","False","False","","","","","","","","","","","","","","","","","","","","","","","","","","","","","","","","","","","","","","","","","","","","","","","","","","","","2021-06-19","",15147,""
"COVID-19 Associated Suicidal Ideation in Older Adults: Two Case Reports with a Review of the Literature","ABSTRACT The COVID-19 pandemic may profoundly harm the mental health and emotional well- being of many older adults  Public health interventions to minimize the spread of the virus have had the unintended consequences of worsening social isolation, financial stress, and unemployment  Results of early research efforts assessing the impact of these interventions on the mental health of older adults have been mixed  Available findings suggest that a subset of community-dwelling older adults have been less negatively impacted than younger adults, while people of color, the poor, residents of nursing homes and other communal living environments, and those living with dementia and their caregivers are more likely to suffer from COVID-related health problems  This manuscript describes two older adults for whom COVID-19 associated stresses caused significant worsening in their psychiatric illnesses, including the emergence of suicidal ideation, summarizes the literature on the impact of interactions between psychosocial stresses and biological factors on the mental health and well-being of older adults, and discusses interventions to help older adults whose mental health has worsened due to COVID-19  Timely and accurate diagnosis, prompt provision of individualized care using both pharmacologic and psychotherapeutic interventions, adoption of new technologies that permit care to be provided safely at a distance and which allow for virtual social interactions, coupled with ongoing advocacy for policy changes that address significant health care disparities and provide older adults continued access to health care and relief from financial hardship, will help older adults remaining as healthy as possible during the pandemic","Asthana, Niraj K.; Mehaffey, Eamonn, Sewell, Daniel D.","https://doi.org/10.1016/j.jagp.2021.05.026","","Database: ScienceDirect; Publication details: The American Journal of Geriatric Psychiatry;2021.; Publication details: The American Journal of Geriatric Psychiatry;2021.; Publication type: article","WHO","Undecided","","","","","","","","","","","","","False","False","","","","","False","False","False","","False","False","False","False","False","False","False","False","False","","","","","","","","","","","","","","","","","","","","","","","","","","","","","","","","","","","","","","","","","","","","","","","","","","","","2021-06-19","",15148,""

"Mental Health Risks Differentially Associated with Immunocompromised Status among Healthcare Workers and Family Members at the Pandemic Outset","The mental health of healthcare workers (HCWs) is critical to their long-term well-being and future disaster preparedness  Goal 1 of this study was to identify rates of mental health problems experienced by HCWs  Goal 2 was to test a model of risk stemming from pandemic-related stressors and vulnerability factors  This cross-sectional study included HCWs (N = 2,246 [1,573 clinical providers;673 non-clinical staff]) in the Rocky Mountain West who voluntarily completed an online survey in April/May 2020  Respondents completed measures for traumatic stress symptoms, depression, anxiety, alcohol use, and sleep  Logistic regressions stratified by professional role (clinical versus non-clinical) were specified to predict clinical screening cutoff (positive/negative) as a function of five pandemic-related stressors (immunocompromised self;immunocompromised household member;care provision to infected patients;clinical management role;positive cases)  Results showed that more than half of HCWs surveyed (52 5%) screened positive (above cutoff) for traumatic stress, depression, or anxiety, with ~20% reporting problematic alcohol use, and variable insufficient sleep from ~10% off shift to ~50% on shift  Clinical employees with an immunocompromised household member had increased odds of screening positive for a mental health problem  Non-clinical HCWs who were immunocompromised were at elevated risk for screening positive a mental health problem  Being female, minority status, and younger increased odds for mental health problems  Implications include alleviating a portion of the mental health burden of HCWs involved in response to the SARS-CoV-2 pandemic by considering policies to protect immunocompromised HCWs and their families (e g , vaccine priorities, telework options)","Smith, Andrew J.; Wright, Hannah, Griffin, Brandon J.; Ehman, Anandi C.; Shoji, Kotaro, Love, Tiffany M.; Morrow, Ellen, Locke, Amy, Call, Megan, Kerig, Patricia K.; Olff, Miranda, Benight, Charles C.; Langenecker, Scott A.","https://doi.org/10.1016/j.bbih.2021.100285","","Database: ScienceDirect; Publication details: Brain, Behavior, & Immunity - Health;: 100285, 2021.; Publication details: Brain, Behavior, & Immunity - Health;: 100285, 2021.; Publication type: article","WHO","Undecided","","","","","","","","","","","","","False","False","","","","","False","False","False","","False","False","False","False","False","False","False","False","False","","","","","","","","","","","","","","","","","","","","","","","","","","","","","","","","","","","","","","","","","","","","","","","","","","","","2021-06-19","",15157,""

"Early COVID-19 quarantine: A machine learning approach to model what differentiated the top 25% well-being scorers","This study focused on the interaction of demographics and well-being. Diener's subjective well-being (SWB) was successfully validated with Exploratory Graph Analysis and Confirmatory Factor Analysis to track well-being differences of the COVID-19 quarantined individuals. Six tree-based Machine Learning models were trained to classify top 25% SWB scorers during COVID-19 quarantine, after data-splitting (train 70%, test 30%). The model input variables were demographics, to avoid overlapping of inputs-outputs. A 10-fold cross-validation method (70%â€“30%) was then implemented in the training session to select the optimal Machine Learning model among the six tested. A CART classification was the optimal algorithm (Train-AccuracyÂ =Â 0.77, Test-AccuracyÂ =Â 0.75). A clean, three-node tree suggested that if someone spends time on perceived creative activities during the COVID-19 quarantine, under clearly described conditions, he/she had high probabilities to be a top subjective well-being scorer. The key importance of creative activities was subsequently cross-validated with three different model configurations: (1) a different tree-based model (Test-Accuracy =0.75); (2) a different operationalization of subjective well-being (Test-Accuracy =0.75) and (3) a different construct (depression; Test-Accuracy =0.73). This is an integrative approach to study individual differences in subjective well-being, bridging Exploratory Graph Analysis and Machine Learning in a single research cycle with multiples cross-validations.","","https://doi.org/10.1016/j.paid.2021.110980","20211001","","Scopus","Undecided","","","","","","","","","","","","","False","False","","","","","False","False","False","","False","False","False","False","False","False","False","False","False","","","","","","","","","","","","","","","","","","","","","","","","","","","","","","","","","","","","","","","","","","","","","","","","","","","","2021-06-19","",15161,""
