Development of the Echoes national dataset
Introduction: Electronic health records can be used to understand the diverse presentation of post-acute and long-term health outcomes following COVID-19 infection. In England, the UK Health Security Agency, in collaboration with the University of Oxford, has created the Evaluation of post-acute COVID-19 Health Outcomes (ECHOES) dataset to monitor how an initial SARS-CoV-2 infection episode is associated with changes in the risk of health outcome…
Covid-19 infection and vaccination uptake in men and gender-diverse people who have sex with men in the UK
In this community sample, COVID-19 vaccine uptake was high overall, though lower among younger age-groups, gender minorities, and those with poorer well-being. Efforts are needed to limit COVID-19 related exacerbation of health inequalities in groups who already experience a greater burden of poor health relative to other men who have sex with men
Case–control study to estimate odds of death within 28 days of positive test for Sars-CoV-2 prior to vaccination for residents of long-term care facilities in England, 2020–2021
BACKGROUND: Persons living in long-term care facilities (LTCFs) are presumed to be at higher risk of adverse outcomes from SARS-CoV-2 infection due to increasing age and frailty, but the magnitude of increased risk is not well quantified. METHODS: After linking demographic and mortality data for cases with confirmed SARS-CoV-2 infection between March 2020 and January 2021 in England, a random sample of 6000 persons who died and 36 000 who did not…
Interpretation of Covid-19 case fatality risk measures in England
Choriocarcinoma is an aggressive neoplasm arising in the body of the uterus. Rapid growth and myometrial invasion may be followed by uterine perforation. In this study, we present the cases of two young patients (18 and 19 years of age) with acute abdominal pain and shock, while they were under chemotherapy due to persistent trophoblastic disease. During emergent exploratory laparotomy, localized resection of uterus was performed. They had their …
