Background: Cancer patients, being immunocompromised, are at higher risk of coronavirus disease (COVID-19). The current study determines cancer patients’ knowledge, attitude, perception, and impact the COVID-19 pandemic. Method: A cross-sectional online survey was conducted in Pakistan from 1 April 2020 to May 2020. respondents were patients with ages equal or greater than 18 years. Following a request for participation, URL distributed on numerous channels. Other social media platforms, including WeChat, WhatsApp, Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, Messenger, LinkedIn, used increase patient interaction. questionnaire comprised five different sections such as: (1) sociodemographic information, (2) (3) (4) (5) patients. Descriptive medical statistics as frequency, percentage, mean, standard deviation illustrate demographic characteristics participants. To compare mean knowledge scores selected variables, independent sample t-tests one-way analysis variance (ANOVA) used, which also practical methods epidemiological, public health research. cut-off point statistical significance set p-value 0.05. Results: More 300 invited, 208 agreed take part. response rate 69.33% (208/300). Gender, marital status, employment status had significant association scores.

This scoping review aimed to identify and characterize determinants influencing COVID-19 vaccination decision-making behaviors Africa. We searched five online databases for articles on identified studies published English between March 2020 April 2023 that assessed vaccine-specific issues, psychosocial constructs, contextual factors associated with behaviors. Of fourteen identified, over half (57.1%) were cross-sectional; three used qualitative research methods; involved multi-country participants. Most acceptability willingness. Overall, 85.7% publications examined knowledge, attitudes, or both as critical vaccination. The prevalence vaccine during pregnancy was low (14.4–28%).

In the current COVID-19 post-pandemic era, vaccine hesitancy is hindering herd immunity generated by widespread vaccination. It critical to identify factors that may cause hesitancy, enabling relevant authorities propose appropriate interventions for mitigating such a phenomenon. Keyword extraction, sub-field of natural language processing (NLP) applications, plays vital role in modern medical informatics. When traditional corpus-based NLP methods are used conduct keyword they only consider word’s log-likelihood value determine whether it keyword, which leaves room concerns about efficiency and accuracy this extraction technique. These include fact method unable (1) optimize list machine-based approach, (2) effectively evaluate keyword’s importance level, (3) integrate variables data clustering. Thus, address aforementioned issues, study integrated word removal technique, i10-index, importance–performance analysis (IPA) technique develop an improved facilitating extraction. The top 200 most-cited Science Citation Index (SCI) research articles discussing were adopted as target corpus verification. results showed keywords Quadrant I (n = 98) reached highest lexical coverage (9.81%), indicating proposed successfully identified extracted most important from corpus, thus achieving more domain-oriented accurate results.
