Respiratory symptom patterns in healthcare workers in Germany
Background Healthcare professionals (HCPs) faced unique exposure risks during the SARS-CoV-2 pandemic. This study investigated the prevalence and patterns of respiratory symptoms among HCPs, examining potential demographic, occupational, and vaccination-related risk factors during the early pandemic period. Methods In this prospective observational study, 1,300 HCPs at a German academic medical center completed surveys about respiratory symptoms …
Post-Covid fatigue disproportionately affects women
Background Post COVID syndrome (PCS) affects approximately 6–10% of COVID-19 survivors, with fatigue being one of the most prevalent and debilitating symptoms. While emerging evidence suggests sex and gender-based differences in PCS manifestation, the specific impact on fatigue-related symptoms remains poorly understood, particularly regarding women’s experiences. Methods We analyzed data from 2,549 participants with PCS (80.6% female, 19.2% male…
Healthcare Workers' Perceptions and Medically Approved Covid-19 Infection Risk
Introduction This study analyses how healthcare workers (HCWs) perceived risks, protection and preventive measures during the COVID-19 pandemic in relation to medically approved risks and organizational measures. The aim is to explore “blind spots” of pandemic protection and make mental health needs of HCWs visible. Methods We have chosen an “optimal-case” scenario of a high-income country with a well-resourced hospital sector and low HCW infecti…
Effects of Pre-Existing Mental Conditions on Fatigue and Psychological Symptoms Post-Covid-19
Fatigue and psychological conditions of post-COVID-19 patients are not associated with pre-existing conditions
Disease burden in a large cohort of asylum seekers and refugees in Germany
BACKGROUND: Currently, health care systems worldwide are challenged with providing care to an increasing number of migrants, refugees, and displaced persons. In this article, we report on disease burden and drug prescription patterns in a large refugee cohort in Germany. METHODS: We conducted a cross-sectional study of anonymized medical records including demographic data, diagnoses, and drug prescriptions in two refugee reception centres between…
Tuberculosis screening during the 2015 European refugee crisis
Our cohort reflects current immigrations statistics in Europe and illustrates an overall low TB prevalence amongst individuals entering Germany in 2015. However, our findings support the improvement of diagnostic algorithms
Does refugee status matter? Medical needs of newly arrived asylum seekers and resettlement refugees - a retrospective observational study of diagnoses in a primary care setting
German Clinical Trials Register: DRKS00013076, retrospectively registered on 29.09.2017
Pediatric Healthcare Utilization in a Large Cohort of Refugee Children Entering Western Europe During the Migrant Crisis
Our analysis showed that pediatric primary healthcare in pediatric and adolescent refugees are most sought during the first period upon arrival with particular demand in infants, toddlers, and unaccompanied minors. Based on this data, future care taking strategies should be adapted accordingly
Healthcare Utilization in a Large Cohort of Asylum Seekers Entering Western Europe in 2015
During the current period of immigration to Western Europe, national healthcare systems are confronted with high numbers of asylum seekers with largely unknown health status. To improve care taking strategies, we assessed healthcare utilization in a large, representative cohort of newly arriving migrants consisting of n = 1533 residents of a reception center in Northern Germany in 2015. Most asylum seekers were young, male adults, and the majorit…
Tuberculosis Specific Interferon-Gamma Production in a Current Refugee Cohort in Western Europe
Observed LTBI frequencies are lower than previously reported in similar refugee cohorts. However, as elderly people are at higher risk for developing active tuberculosis, the observed high rate of LTBI in senior refugees emphasizes the need for new policies on the detection and treatment regimens in this group
Pregnancy Related Health Care Needs in Refugees—A Current Three Center Experience in Europe
Background: Immigration into Europe has reached an all-time high. Provision of coordinated healthcare, especially to refugee women that are at increased risk for adverse pregnancy outcomes, is a challenge for receiving health care systems. Methods: We assessed pregnancy rates and associated primary healthcare needs in three refugee cohorts in Northern Germany during the current crisis. Results: Out of n = 2911 refugees, 18.0% were women of reprod…
