概括
难民人口的COVID-19患病率与非难民相似,但难民社区内的特定语言群体在某些大流行期间的感染率较高. 针对性支持需要进一步的研究.
科学领域:
- 公共卫生 公共卫生
- 流行病学 流行病学
- 传染性疾病 传染性疾病
背景情况:
- 包括难民在内的欠缺服务的社区受到COVID-19大流行病的影响不成比例.
- 由于电子医疗记录 (EMR) 中缺乏难民身份分类,对COVID-19对难民人口的影响的数据有限.
研究的目的:
- 评估PCR基的SARS-CoV-2在流行病的前两年提供人口的流行率.
- 根据难民身份,种族,保险和疫苗接种情况分析患病率.
主要方法:
- 在城市安全网医院分娩患者的横截面研究 (2020年5月-2022年5月).
- 3,502名患者入院时进行SARS-CoV-2测试;分析跨大流行变种激增的流行率.
- 数据按难民身份,保险类型,疫苗接种情况和种族/种族分层.
主要成果:
- 总体而言,SARS-CoV-2的流行率为5.5% (难民为6.1%,非难民为5.4%).
- 与非难民 (13.2%) 相比,难民的疫苗接种率较低 (10.3%).
- 难民的患病率最高 (2.01) 发生在三角洲泛滥期间;来自非洲大湖地区的讲语言子集显示出更高的积极性.
结论:
- 在难民和非难民之间观察到SARS-CoV-2总体患病率和疫苗接种情况的小差异.
- 在不同变异激增期间,患病率因难民身份而异.
- 特定的难民子组,根据语言确定,可能更容易受到伤害,需要有针对性的研究和干预.

Single Nucleotide Polymorphisms-SNPs
14.0K
A single nucleotide polymorphism or SNP is a single nucleotide variation at a specific genomic position in a large population. It is the most prevalent type of sequence variation found in the human genome. Point mutations that occur in more than 1% of the population qualify as SNPs. These are present once every 1000 nucleotides on an average in the human genome. Replacement of a purine with another purine (A/G) or a pyrimidine with another pyrimidine (C/T) is known as a transition. In contrast,...

Contingency Table
2.4K
A contingency table provides a way of portraying data that can facilitate calculating probabilities. It is a method of displaying a frequency distribution as a table with rows and columns to show how two variables may be dependent (contingent) upon each other; The table helps determine conditional probabilities quite quickly and can help systematically organize, analyze and quantify data. The table displays sample values concerning two variables that may be dependent or contingent on one...

Prevalence and Incidence
357
In statistical epidemiology and health sciences, two essential metrics—prevalence and incidence—are fundamental for understanding disease dynamics within a population. These measures enable public health officials, epidemiologists, and researchers to assess the burden of diseases, allocate resources effectively, and design impactful public health policies and interventions.
Prevalence indicates the proportion of individuals in a population who have a specific disease or health...

Factors Affecting the Risk of Infection
11.4K
The hosts' susceptibility to infection depends on several factors. The integrity of the skin and mucous membranes helps protect the body against microbial attacks. When the skin is altered, the chance of infection, limb loss, and even death increases.
The integrity and count of the white blood cells help the body resist pathogens and fight infection. When impaired, it reduces the body's resistance to pathogens. The acidic pH levels of the gastrointestinal, genitourinary tracts, and skin...

Types of Skewness
11.4K
If the frequency distribution of a data set is more inclined towards smaller or larger values, the distribution is said to be skewed. If data values are skewed to the right, then the distribution is called positively skewed. Conversely, if the plot is skewed to the left, the distribution is called negatively skewed.
For instance, in the middle of a pandemic, the geographical distribution of vaccine coverage may be positively skewed towards populations in the global north countries. However,...
