Title A name given to the resource The first 40-days experience and clinical outcomes in the management of coronavirus covid-19 crisis. Single center preliminary study. Creator An entity primarily responsible for making the resource Tharwat I. Sulaiman Description An account of the resource Background: The World Health Organization (WHO) has announced that coronavirus covid-19 is a pandemic. The first case of covid-19 was confirmed in Iraq on the 24th of February 2020, which was of an international student who travelled recently to Iraq. This review is the universal data analysis of the first 40-days of coronavirus covid-19 patients admitted to Medical City Teaching Hospital (MCTH) including their clinical outcome. Objective: We have conducted this study to describe the first 40-days experience in management of corona virus covid-19 and the clinical outcomes of patients treated with a protocol adopted in the first of March 2020 (described in the attachment). Patients and methods: This is a preliminary descriptive study demonstrating all actions conducted in MCTH to manage coronavirus patients. The study included 79 patients who were RT-PCR positive out of 469 suspects who were screened in the outpatient clinic of MCTH according to WHO criteria. The clinical outcomes were defined as complete clinical and immuno-virologic recovery, non-recovery and death. Complete recovery was defined as negative RT-PCR conducted twice after disappearance of clinical symptoms. Death was subclassified as death within 24 hours and after 24 hours in the hospital or intensive care unit. Non-recovered cases were defined as persistent symptoms or persistent positive RT-PCR after disappearance of clinical symptoms. The treatment protocol was Oseltamivir 75 mg BID for 5 days with Hydroxychloroquine (400mg BID first day then 200mg BID for 5 days) for moderate cases, adding Kaletra (Lopinavir-Ritonavir (200/ 50 mg) 2 tablets PO BID 5 days for severe cases, and ribavirin for critical cases. Results. The total no of symptomatic patients and PCR positive was 79 patients out of 469 screened suspects (16.84%). The mean age was (47.18 -/+ 18). they are prevalent among the age group (40-50 years). There were 59 male patients (74.68%) in comparison to 20 female patients (25.31%). There were 13(16.45%) patients with moderate disease ,15(18.98%) patients with severe disease, and 13(16.45%) patients with very severe disease required admission to critical care. The clinical recovery (free of clinical symptoms) was seen in 84.9 %.  Complete recovery was seen in 41 (51.89%) patients. Death within 24 hours was seen in 6 patients (7.5%) while confirmed death after 24 hours was seen in 4 (5%). Conclusions: The treatment protocol is well conducted in this center with promising rate of complete recovery and excellent rate of clinical recovery. The high initial death rate was compensated after three weeks as more orientation of medical staff and peoples about the disease.  Date A point or period of time associated with an event in the lifecycle of the resource 2020 Subject The topic of the resource COVID-19, Iraq, MCTH, treatment, hydroxychloroquine, Azithromycin Identifier An unambiguous reference to the resource within a given context DOI: Source A related resource from which the described resource is derived مجلة كلية الطب Publisher An entity responsible for making the resource available Faculty of Medicine University of Baghdad Coverage The spatial or temporal topic of the resource, the spatial applicability of the resource, or the jurisdiction under which the resource is relevant Medicine (General), Medicine Language A language of the resource EN https://www.socictopen.socict.org/files/original/ee331d92229bc465df3bb02484c02ec3.pdf e35fd7ec991eb36c9a28c464de858c9c Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.

Title A name given to the resource Survey of Insomnia and Related Social Psychological Factors Among Medical Staff Involved in the 2019 Novel Coronavirus Disease Outbreak Creator An entity primarily responsible for making the resource Chenxi Zhang, Lulu Yang, Shuai Liu, Simeng Ma, Ying Wang, Zhongxiang Cai, Hui Du, Ruiting Li, Lijun Kang, Meilei Su, Jihui Zhang, Zhongchun Liu, Bin Zhang Description An account of the resource ObjectiveThe outbreak of the 2019 novel coronavirus disease (COVID-19) not only caused particularly large public health problems, but also caused great psychological distress, especially for medical staff. We aimed to investigate the prevalence rate of insomnia and to confirm the related social psychological factors among medical staff in hospitals during the COVID-19 outbreak.MethodMedical staff members in China were recruited, including frontline medical workers. The questionnaire, administered through the WeChat program, obtained demographic data and asked self-design questions related to the COVID-19 outbreak, insomnia/depressive/anxiety symptoms, and stress-related symptoms. We used a logistic regression analysis to examine the associations between sociodemographic factors and insomnia symptoms.ResultThere were a total of 1,563 participants in our study. Five-hundred-and-sixty-four (36.1%) participants had insomnia symptoms according to the Insomnia Severity Index (ISI) (total score ≥ 8). A multiple binary logistic regression model revealed that insomnia symptoms were associated with an education level of high school or below (OR = 2.69, p = 0.042, 95% CI = 1.0–7.0), being a doctor (OR = 0.44, p = 0.007, 95% CI = 0.2–0.8), currently working in an isolation unit (OR = 1.71, p = 0.038, 95% CI = 1.0–2.8), is worried about being infected (OR = 2.30, p &lt; 0.001, 95% CI = 1.6–3.4), perceived lack of helpfulness in terms of psychological support from news or social media with regard to COVID-19 (OR = 2.10, p = 0.001, 95% CI = 1.3–3.3), and having very strong uncertainty regarding effective disease control (OR = 3.30, p = 0.013, 95% CI = 1.3–8.5).ConclusionOur study found that more than one-third of the medical staff suffered insomnia symptoms during the COVID-19 outbreak. The related factors included education level, an isolation environment, psychological worries about the COVID-19 outbreak, and being a doctor. Interventions for insomnia among medical staff are needed considering the various sociopsychological factors at play in this situation.

Hoang, Kien T. Nguyen, Thu T. M. Pham, Shwu-Huey Yang, Jane C-J Chao, Tuyen Van Duong Description An account of the resource The coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) epidemic affects people’s health and health-related quality of life (HRQoL), especially in those who have suspected COVID-19 symptoms (S-COVID-19-S). We examined the effect of modifications of health literacy (HL) on depression and HRQoL. A cross-sectional study was conducted from 14 February to 2 March 2020. 3947 participants were recruited from outpatient departments of nine hospitals and health centers across Vietnam. The interviews were conducted using printed questionnaires including participants’ characteristics, clinical parameters, health behaviors, HL, depression, and HRQoL. People with S-COVID-19-S had a higher depression likelihood (OR, 2.88; p < 0.001), lower HRQoL-score (B, −7.92; p < 0.001). In comparison to people without S-COVID-19-S and low HL, those with S-COVID-19-S and low HL had 9.70 times higher depression likelihood (p < 0.001), 20.62 lower HRQoL-score (p < 0.001), for the people without S-COVID-19-S, 1 score increment of HL resulted in 5% lower depression likelihood (p < 0.001) and 0.45 higher HRQoL-score (p < 0.001), while for those people with S-COVID-19-S, 1 score increment of HL resulted in a 4% lower depression likelihood (p = 0.004) and 0.43 higher HRQoL-score (p < 0.001). People with S-COVID-19-S had a higher depression likelihood and lower HRQoL than those without. HL shows a protective effect on depression and HRQoL during the epidemic.

Title A name given to the resource Prediction of Number of Cases of 2019 Novel Coronavirus (COVID-19) Using Social Media Search Index Creator An entity primarily responsible for making the resource Lei Qin, Qiang Sun, Yidan Wang, Kefei Wu, Ming-Chih Chen, Ben-Chang Shia, Szu-Yuan Wu Description An account of the resource Predicting the number of new suspected or confirmed cases of novel coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) is crucial in the prevention and control of the COVID-19 outbreak. Social media search indexes (SMSI) for dry cough, fever, chest distress, coronavirus, and pneumonia were collected from 31 December 2019 to 9 February 2020. The new suspected cases of COVID-19 data were collected from 20 January 2020 to 9 February 2020. We used the lagged series of SMSI to predict new suspected COVID-19 case numbers during this period. To avoid overfitting, five methods, namely subset selection, forward selection, lasso regression, ridge regression, and elastic net, were used to estimate coefficients. We selected the optimal method to predict new suspected COVID-19 case numbers from 20 January 2020 to 9 February 2020. We further validated the optimal method for new confirmed cases of COVID-19 from 31 December 2019 to 17 February 2020. The new suspected COVID-19 case numbers correlated significantly with the lagged series of SMSI. SMSI could be detected 6–9 days earlier than new suspected cases of COVID-19. The optimal method was the subset selection method, which had the lowest estimation error and a moderate number of predictors. The subset selection method also significantly correlated with the new confirmed COVID-19 cases after validation. SMSI findings on lag day 10 were significantly correlated with new confirmed COVID-19 cases. SMSI could be a significant predictor of the number of COVID-19 infections. SMSI could be an effective early predictor, which would enable governments’ health departments to locate potential and high-risk outbreak areas.

Title A name given to the resource Wearable Cardiorespiratory Monitoring Employing a Multimodal Digital Patch Stethoscope: Estimation of ECG, PEP, LVET and Respiration Using a 55 mm Single-Lead ECG and Phonocardiogram Creator An entity primarily responsible for making the resource Michael Klum, Mike Urban, Timo Tigges, Alexandru-Gabriel Pielmus, Aarne Feldheiser, Theresa Schmitt, Reinhold Orglmeister Description An account of the resource Cardiovascular diseases are the main cause of death worldwide, with sleep disordered breathing being a further aggravating factor. Respiratory illnesses are the third leading cause of death amongst the noncommunicable diseases. The current COVID-19 pandemic, however, also highlights the impact of communicable respiratory syndromes. In the clinical routine, prolonged postanesthetic respiratory instability worsens the patient outcome. Even though early and continuous, long-term cardiorespiratory monitoring has been proposed or even proven to be beneficial in several situations, implementations thereof are sparse. We employed our recently presented, multimodal patch stethoscope to estimate Einthoven electrocardiogram (ECG) Lead I and II from a single 55 mm ECG lead. Using the stethoscope and ECG subsystems, the pre-ejection period (PEP) and left ventricular ejection time (LVET) were estimated. ECG-derived respiration techniques were used in conjunction with a novel, phonocardiogram-derived respiration approach to extract respiratory parameters. Medical-grade references were the SOMNOmedics SOMNO HDTM and Osypka ICON-CoreTM. In a study including 10 healthy subjects, we analyzed the performances in the supine, lateral, and prone position. Einthoven I and II estimations yielded correlations exceeding 0.97. LVET and PEP estimation errors were 10% and 21%, respectively. Respiratory rates were estimated with mean absolute errors below 1.2 bpm, and the respiratory signal yielded a correlation of 0.66. We conclude that the estimation of ECG, PEP, LVET, and respiratory parameters is feasible using a wearable, multimodal acquisition device and encourage further research in multimodal signal fusion for respiratory signal estimation.

Title A name given to the resource Geographical Accessibility to Glucose-6-Phosphate Dioxygenase Deficiency Point-of-Care Testing for Antenatal Care in Ghana Creator An entity primarily responsible for making the resource Desmond Kuupiel, Kwame M. Adu, Vitalis Bawontuo, Duncan A. Adogboba, Paul K. Drain, Mosa Moshabela, Tivani P. Mashamba-Thompson Description An account of the resource Background: Glucose-6-Phosphate Dehydrogenase (G6PD) deficiency screening test is essential for malaria treatment, control, and elimination programs. G6PD deficient individuals are at high risk of severe hemolysis when given anti-malarial drugs such as primaquine, quinine, other sulphonamide-containing medicines, and chloroquine, which has recently been shown to be potent for the treatment of coronavirus disease (COVID-19). We evaluated the geographical accessibility to POC testing for G6PD deficiency in Ghana, a malaria-endemic country. Methods: We obtained the geographic information of 100 randomly sampled clinics previously included in a cross-sectional survey. We also obtained the geolocated data of all public hospitals providing G6PD deficiency testing services in the region. Using ArcGIS 10.5, we quantified geographical access to G6PD deficiency screening test and identified clinics as well as visualize locations with poor access for targeted improvement. The travel time was estimated using an assumed speed of 20 km per hour. Findings: Of the 100 clinics, 58% were Community-based Health Planning and Services facilities, and 42% were sub-district health centers. The majority (92%) were Ghana Health Service facilities, and the remaining 8% were Christian Health Association of Ghana facilities. Access to G6PD deficiency screening test was varied across the districts, and G6PD deficiency screening test was available in all eight public hospitals. This implies that the health facility-to-population ratio for G6PD deficiency testing service was approximately 1:159,210 (8/1,273,677) population. The spatial analysis quantified the current mean distance to a G6PD deficiency testing service from all locations in the region to be 34 ± 14 km, and travel time (68 ± 27 min). The estimated mean distance from a clinic to a district hospital for G6PD deficiency testing services was 15 ± 11 km, and travel time (46 ± 33 min). Conclusion: Access to POC testing for G6PD deficiency in Ghana was poor. Given the challenges associated with G6PD deficiency, it would be essential to improve access to G6PD deficiency POC testing to facilitate administration of sulphadoxine-pyrimethamine to pregnant women, full implementation of the malaria control program in Ghana, and treatment of COVID-19 patients with chloroquine in malaria-endemic countries. To enable the World Health Organization include appropriate G6PD POC diagnostic tests in its list of essential in-vitro diagnostics for use in resource-limited settings, we recommend a wider evaluation of available POC diagnostic tests for G6PD deficiency, particularly in malaria-endemic countries.

Title A name given to the resource Personal Safety during the COVID-19 Pandemic: Realities and Perspectives of Healthcare Workers in Latin America Creator An entity primarily responsible for making the resource Diego Delgado, Fernando Wyss Quintana, Gonzalo Perez, Álvaro Sosa Liprandi, Carlos Ponte-Negretti, Iván Mendoza, Adrian Baranchuk Description An account of the resource Healthcare workers exposed to coronavirus (COVID-19) may not have adequate access to personal protective equipment (PPE), safety procedures, and diagnostic protocols. Our objective was to evaluate the reality and perceptions about personal safety among healthcare workers in Latin America. This is a cross-sectional, online survey-based study administered to 936 healthcare professionals in Latin America from 31 March 2020 to 4 April 2020. A 12-item structured questionnaire was developed. A total of 936 healthcare workers completed the online survey. Of them, 899 (95.1%) were physicians, 28 (2.9%) were nurses, and 18 (1.9%) were allied health professionals. Access to protective equipment was as follows: gel hand sanitizer (n = 889; 95%), disposable gloves (n = 853; 91.1%), disposable gowns (n = 630; 67.3%), disposable surgical masks (785; 83.9%), N95 masks (n = 516; 56.1%), and facial protective shields (n = 305; 32.6%). The vast majority (n = 707; 75.5%) had access to personal safety policies and procedures, and 699 (74.7%) participants had access to diagnostic algorithms. On a 1-to-10 Likert scale, the participants expressed limited human resources support (4.92 ± 0.2; mean ± SD), physical integrity protection in the workplace (5.5 ± 0.1; mean ± SD), and support from public health authorities (5.01 ± 0.12; mean ± SD). Healthcare workers in Latin America had limited access to essential PPE and support from healthcare authorities during the COVID-19 pandemic.

Title A name given to the resource Besides other Signs, Can a 6-min Walk Test be Applied as a Criterion for Going to the Hospital with a Diagnosis of COVID-19? Creator An entity primarily responsible for making the resource Pardis Noormohammadpour, Maryam Abolhasani Description An account of the resource Recently the pandemic of Covid-19 challenges countries’ medical health services systems. While some patients experience acute and devastating symptoms, others may only have mild myalgia and fever. Due to the high amounts of hospital referrals, some countries’ health systems have asked patients to stay at home and go to the hospital when they feel that the symptoms are severe. Some symptoms, such as fever, myalgia, diarrhea, and headache, have been offered as Covid-19 symptoms. However, is there any clinical test that helps patients themselves to detect the severity of symptoms? A six-minute walk test is a clinical test to investigate the function of the cardiorespiratory system. In this test, a physician asks a patient to walk for 6 minutes in a 30-meter walking course. Some studies have shown its relation with short term survival, especially in patients who complete less than 300 meters. Based on the walked distance, results can be used in the two following formats. First, the Vo2 max could be estimated via an equation; second, the distance can be compared at different times. Considering that Covid-19 affects the respiratory tract, it seems that it could affect 6-min walk test results. Due to the particular situation, the health system can ask people who have mild symptoms to check their 6-min walk test results for several consecutive days besides the other symptoms. If patients’ walking distance decreased due to breath shortness at this time, they should go to the hospital. Even if their walking distance is less than 300 meters, maybe they need a chest CT scan. With the application of this approach, we can decrease the load of referrals to the hospitals and also prevent patients with mild symptoms from being contacted to the high load of virus in the hospitals.
