Acceptability of Covid-19 self-testing among social and clinical vulnerable populations using a decentralized testing model in Abuja, Nigeria; A mixed methods analysis of an implementation study
Diagnostic testing is critical during infectious disease outbreaks, enabling timely patient management and isolation to reduce transmission and mortality. During the COVID-19 outbreak in Nigeria, testing rates remained low due to limited access to centralized RT-PCR sites. To expand access, the National COVID-19 Testing Strategy (January 2021) introduced decentralized self-testing models targeting vulnerable populations. This study assessed the u…
Covid-19 diagnosis within five days of symptoms onset among healthcare workers in Malawi; Non-randomized control trial of self-testing using Ag-RDTs
Efficient and sustainable models of Corona Virus Disease of 2019 (COVID‐19) screening among healthcare workers (HCWs) such as self-testing are essential for averting transmission within and outside health care facilities. We compared the number of confirmed early COVID‐19 positive diagnoses (defined as COVID‐19 cases diagnosed within five days of symptoms onset) among HCW in self-testing arm using Antigen Rapid Diagnostic Test kits (Ag-RDT) and s…
Prevalence of bacteriologically-confirmed pulmonary tuberculosis in urban Blantyre, Malawi 2019–20
Recent evidence shows rapidly changing tuberculosis (TB) epidemiology in Southern and Eastern Africa, with need for subdistrict prevalence estimates to guide targeted interventions. We conducted a pulmonary TB prevalence survey to estimate current TB burden in Blantyre city, Malawi. From May 2019 to March 2020, 115 households in middle/high-density residential Blantyre, were randomly-selected from each of 72 clusters. Consenting eligible particip…
The local burden of disease during the first wave of the Covid-19 epidemic in England
Limitations in testing capacity biased the observed trajectory of COVID-19 infections throughout the first wave. Basing inference on COVID-19-related mortality and higher-coverage testing later in the time period, we could explore the extent of this bias more explicitly. Evidence points towards substantial under-representation of initial growth and peak magnitude of infections nationally, to which different parts of the country contribute unequal…
Global, regional, and national estimates of the population at increased risk of severe Covid-19 due to underlying health conditions in 2020
BACKGROUND: The risk of severe COVID-19 if an individual becomes infected is known to be higher in older individuals and those with underlying health conditions. Understanding the number of individuals at increased risk of severe COVID-19 and how this varies between countries should inform the design of possible strategies to shield or vaccinate those at highest risk. METHODS: We estimated the number of individuals at increased risk of severe dis…
Effects of non-pharmaceutical interventions on Covid-19 cases, deaths, and demand for hospital services in the UK
Background Non-pharmaceutical interventions have been implemented to reduce transmission of severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) in the UK. Projecting the size of an unmitigated epidemic and the potential effect of different control measures has been crucial to support evidence-based policy making during the early stages of the epidemic. This study assesses the potential impact of different control measures for mitigating …
Effectiveness of isolation, testing, contact tracing, and physical distancing on reducing transmission of Sars-CoV-2 in different settings
BACKGROUND: The isolation of symptomatic cases and tracing of contacts has been used as an early COVID-19 containment measure in many countries, with additional physical distancing measures also introduced as outbreaks have grown. To maintain control of infection while also reducing disruption to populations, there is a need to understand what combination of measures-including novel digital tracing approaches and less intensive physical distancin…
