Air pollutants, especially particulate matter, and other meteorological factors serve as important carriers of infectious microbes play a critical role in the spread disease. However, there remains uncertainty about relationship among air conditions climate change Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome Coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2), hereafter referred to COVID-19. A systematic review was conducted using PRISMA guidelines identify between quality, change, COVID-19 risk outcomes, host related factors, co-morbidities disparities. Out total 170,296 scientific publications screened, 63 studies were identified that focused on pollutants Additionally, contribution related-factors, co-morbidities, health disparities discussed. This found preponderance evidence positive PM2.5, outcomes. The effects mortalities most commonly experienced by socially disadvantaged vulnerable populations. Results however, not entirely consistent, varied geographic region study. Opportunities for data guide local response are identified.

Analysis of the impact of COVID-19 variants and vaccination on the time-varying reproduction number: statistical methods

Frontiers in Public Health, Journal Year: 2024, Volume and Issue: 12

Published: July 3, 2024

Introduction The COVID-19 pandemic has profoundly impacted global health systems, requiring the monitoring of infection waves and strategies to control transmission. Estimating time-varying reproduction number is crucial for understanding epidemic guiding interventions. Methods Probability distributions serial interval are estimated Pre-Delta Delta periods. We conducted a comparative analysis numbers, taking into account population immunity variant differences. incorporated regional heterogeneity age distribution population, as well evolving variants vaccination rates over time. transmission dynamics were analyzed with vaccination. Results computed without considering variant-based immunity. In addition, values significantly differed by variants, emphasizing immunity’s importance. Enhanced efforts stringent measures effective in reducing variant. Conversely, appeared less influenced levels, due lower rates. Furthermore, during period, there was significant difference between region-specific non-region-specific particularly distinct pattern differences observed Gangwon, Gyeongbuk, Jeju Korea. Discussion This research elucidates concerning dominance variant, efficacy vaccinations, influence levels. It highlights necessity targeted interventions extensive coverage. study makes contribution disease mechanisms informs public strategies.
