Abstract The transmission of communicable diseases in human populations is known to be modulated by behavioral patterns. However, detailed characterizations how population-level behaviors change over time during multiple disease outbreaks and spatial resolutions are still not widely available.

Our analysis suggests that at national state levels, people’s adherence recommendations avoid contact with others (a preventive behavior) was highest early pandemic but gradually—and linearly—decreased time. Importantly, periods intense mortality, increased—despite overall temporal decrease. These spatial-temporal help improve our understanding bidirectional feedback loop outbreak severity behavior. findings should benefit both computational modeling teams developing methodologies predict dynamics future epidemics policymakers designing strategies mitigate effects outbreaks.

There is a knowledge gap regarding the effectiveness and utility of various preventive interventions during COVID-19 pandemic. In this study, we aimed to evaluate cost-effectiveness interventions, including non-medical (NMIs) vaccination programs, using real-world data across different demographic socioeconomic contexts worldwide. We searched Medline, Cochrane Library, Embase, Web Science Core Collection from December 2019 March 2024. identified 75 studies which compared 34 interventions. conducted network meta-analysis assess incremental net benefits (INB) these both societal health care system perspectives. adjusted purchasing power parity (PPP) standardised willingness pay (WTP) enhance comparability economic levels. performed sensitivity subgroup analyses examine robustness results. Movement restrictions expanding testing emerged as most cost-effective strategies perspective, with WTP-standardised INB values USD 21 050 11 144. contrast, combinations NMIs were less cost-effective, particularly in high-income regions. From plus distancing test, trace, isolate strategy highly while masking requirements economically viable. The varied significantly contexts, underlining necessity for region-specific strategies. highlight significant variations Tailoring specific regional infrastructural conditions crucial. Continuous evaluation adaptation are essential effective management ongoing future public threats. PROSPERO: CRD42023385169.

Objectives: During the COVID-19 pandemic, various non-pharmaceutical interventions such as individual hygiene practices like hand washing, social distancing, and mandates for use of masks in public spaces were implemented to reduce spread disease. Otitis media (OM) is a common infectious How changed environment due pandemic has influenced prevalence diseases OM not known. This study aimed investigate how trends during Korea. Methods: patient data from 2017 2021 extracted Health Insurance Review Assessment Service database. Patients diagnosed with disease code H66 (suppurative unspecified otitis media) selected analysis. Data on prevalence, gender, region, medical institution, number ventilating-tube prescriptions analyzed. All age groups included, ages categorized into 5-year ranges Results: The patients decreased continuously (1 598 205, 1 560 178, 520 948, 983 701, 734 901). average per 1000 persons by 45.0% 30.2 2019 16.6 2020 2021. change was greater 0 5 group than other groups. decrease greatest (48.6% 358.2 2017-2019 184.1 2020-2021). impact environmental changes ventilation-tube insertion smaller prevalence. insertions 28.1% 27 311 19 650 Conclusions: 45.0%, Korea COVID-19.
