Post-infection symptoms up to 24 months after Covid-19
Introduction: Long-term health consequences after mild COVID-19 are not well described. Our aim was to estimate their prevalence and describe the time course of signs and symptoms for a period of up to 24 months after SARS-CoV-2 infection. Methods: We conducted a cohort study matched for age, sex, and test week among individuals who had attended the public COVID-19 test center at Charité-Universitätsmedizin Berlin, Germany. In early 2022, 576 for…
Sars-CoV-2 Seroprevalence in a Berlin Kindergarten Environment
SARS-CoV-2 serology may be helpful to retrospectively understand infection dynamics in specific settings including kindergartens. We assessed SARS-CoV-2 seroprevalence in individuals connected to kindergartens in Berlin, Germany in September 2021. Children, staff, and household members from 12 randomly selected kindergartens were interviewed on COVID-19 history and sociodemographic parameters. Blood samples were collected on filter paper. SARS-Co…

Psychosocial Wellbeing of Schoolchildren during the Covid-19 Pandemic in Berlin, Germany, June 2020 to March 2021
The COVID-19 pandemic and related restrictions have affected the wellbeing of schoolchildren worldwide, but the extent and duration of specific problems are still not completely understood. We aimed to describe students’ psychosocial and behavioral parameters and associated factors during the COVID-19 pandemic in Berlin, Germany. Our longitudinal study included 384 students from 24 randomly selected Berlin primary and secondary schools, assessing…
Sars-CoV-2 Infection, Risk Perception, Behaviour and Preventive Measures at Schools in Berlin, Germany, during the Early Post-Lockdown Phase
Briefly before the first peak of the COVID-19 pandemic in Berlin, Germany, schools closed in mid-March 2020. Following re-opening, schools resumed operation at a reduced level for nine weeks. During this phase, we aimed at assessing, among students and teachers, infection status, symptoms, individual behaviour, and institutional infection prevention measures. Twenty-four primary and secondary school classes, randomly selected across Berlin, were …
A Retrospective Outbreak Investigation of a Covid-19 Case Cluster in a Berlin Kindergarten, November 2020
While SARS-CoV-2 infection activity in German kindergartens during the first year of the pandemic appeared to be overall low, outbreaks did occur. We retrospectively investigated an outbreak in November and December 2020 in a Berlin kindergarten participating in the Berlin Corona School and Kindergarten Study (BECOSS). Interviews were conducted with affected families regarding symptomatology, contact persons and possible sources of infection, as …
The Effect of Socioeconomic Factors and Indoor Residual Spraying on Malaria in Mangaluru, India
India faces 0.5 million malaria cases annually, including half of all Plasmodium vivax malaria cases worldwide. This case-control study assessed socioeconomic determinants of urban malaria in coastal Mangaluru, Karnataka, southwestern India. Between June and December 2015, we recruited 859 malaria patients presenting at the governmental Wenlock Hospital and 2190 asymptomatic community controls. We assessed clinical, parasitological, and socioecon…
Everything counts - a method to determine viral suppression among people living with HIV using longitudinal data for the HIV care continuum - results of two large, German, multi-center real-life cohor…
We provide a method for estimating viral suppression and duration of viremia using longitudinal VL data. We observed a continuous and remarkable increase of viral suppression. Furthermore, a notable proportion of those with viremia showed low-level viremia and were therefore unlikely to transmit HIV. Individual health risks and HIV drug resistance among those with low-level viremia are problematic, and viral suppression remains the goal. In 2018,…
Digital strategies for dissemination to decision makers, of the results of the researchers in the public health field
L’élaboration de politiques fondées sur des données probantes est un phénomène de plus en plus répandu qui encourage les chercheurs et les décideurs à communiquer efficacement entre eux. Les médias digitaux sont censés faciliter les échanges entre les deux acteurs, mais leur disponibilité et leur utilisation n’ont pas encore été examinées en détail. Avec une approche interdisciplinaire, cet article vise à fournir une taxonomie des médias digitaux…

Cost of disorders of the brain in Europe 2010
Use of Propensity Score Technique to Account for Exposure-Related Covariates
BACKGROUND: In observational research, propensity score techniques can be used to account for baseline differences between compared therapies. Although propensity scores are used increasingly often, their limitations in settings without complete data may not be recognized. OBJECTIVES: We sought to evaluate the ability of propensity score matching to mitigate confounding by indication in an observational study of the effect of statin therapy on ac…
