letter to the New England Journal of Medicine: COVID-19 mortality data perplexity

Una explicación para todos los públicos: Lo que he hecho es ver los muertos por COVID-19 declarados por los organismos gubernamentales   antes y después de que comience la intervención farmacológica con los productos que se han dado en llamar vacunas por los medios de comunicación y los gobiernos. Primero he considerado el periodo completo de 2020 hasta la "vacunación" y el periodo desde el comienzo de la vacunación hasta el final de los datos (7 de enero 2022). El comienzo es un poco distinto para cada país. Reino Unido y USA comenzaron a principios de diciembre 2020 con gran aparato mediático. Otros no empezaron hasta marzo 2021. Para cada país he calculado el incremento relativo de mortalidad. El resultado es que una gran mayoría tiene incremento positivo: más muertos COVID-19 durante la intervención farmacéutica que antes (2020). En particular USA tiene un incremento considerable.  Un test estadístico estándar confirma que la diferencia es significativa, o sea que no podemos afirmar que "no hay diferencia en la mortalidad COVID-19 antes y después del comienzo de la intervención farmacéutica". Por otro lado podemos decir que hay "razones de sobra" para afirmar que hay más muertos COVID-19 durante la "vacunación" que antes de que se comenzara a inocular a las personas. La revista ha comprobado los cálculos y no dicen en su respuesta que sean incorrectos. Ergo,  no han falsificado lo que digo en la letter.  En segundo lugar he considerado la pregunta ¿hay algún periodo de tiempo en el que la "vacunación" ha conseguido una disminución efectiva de la mortalidad COVID-19? Pudiera ser que al principio de la operación de intervención farmacéutica durante unos días se apreciara un efecto importante de la "vacunación" en forma de descenso de la mortalidad COVID-19, coincidiendo con la afirmación de las empresas de que los anticuerpos generados son fuertes al principio y se van debilitando, con la recomendación actual de "reforzar" con una nueva dosis al cabo de tres o cuatro meses. (curiosamente, el discurso oficial es que ahora han disminuido los casos graves gracias a unas inyecciones que se hicieron hace seis meses o más ¿no contradice lo anterior?) Para intentar responder a la pregunta, he considerado periodos de tiempo simétricos en torno al comienzo de la "vacunación" o sea, un día antes y un día después, dos días antes y después, y así hasta 300 días antes y después del comienzo de las inyecciones. Al hacer tests estadísticos, se encuentra que no hay efecto significativo desde el punto de vista estadístico (p-value < 0.01) hasta pasados más de 140 días, y para periodos mayores de 140 días la conclusión es que hay más muertos COVID-19 durante la "vacunación" que antes (estadísticamente significativo con p-value < 0.01). Hasta los 140 días, los resultados son que no se puede descartar que mortalidad COVID-19 antes y después tienen la misma mediana y que, por tanto, son indistinguibles estadísticamente. En palabras llanas, no se nota diferencia hasta más o menos 140 días y después la conclusión clara es que hay más muertos COVID-19 durante la "vacunación" que antes (en 2020). Otra vez, la revista no puede decir que los cálculos son incorrectos, por lo que simplemente indican que "no es de interés". No sé si esta calificación sería compartida por la población en general. Evidentemente, para los gobernantes estos datos y resultados son bastante "incómodos". La mayor limitación de este pequeño estudio es el conjunto de datos de base. Se puede argumentar sobre su inexactitud. De hecho una de las mayores inexactitudes es la declaración de comienzo de la "vacunación". Muchos países estaban vacunando antes de la fecha que aparece en OWID. De hecho, estaban vacunando a personas de riesgo o personal sanitario y auxiliar en sitios como residencias. Ajustando estas fechas, los resultados serían todavía más desfavorables para los productos sanitario. Otro ejemplo es China, cuya declaración de mortalidad es simplemente nula a partir de una fecha. No he intentado correcciones, simplemente he tomado los datos como lo he hecho con todos los demás países. Otra de las posibles inexactitudes son las primeras olas en países europeos y algunos estados de USA, en las que un estado  de panico general y otras causas posibles pudieron influir en una fuerte sobre diagnosis de COVID-19, especialmente en las residencias de ancianos. Tampoco he hecho ningún intento de corrección, sino que he tomado los datos tal cual. Habrá otras limitaciones de las que no soy consciente. El test utilizado es el "Wilkinson rank sum" que no asume una distribución parametrizada de los datos, por lo que podemos estar bastante seguros de que no estoy introduciendo trucos estadísticos.  Importante: no estoy hablando de muertes producidas/declaradas por vacunas, aunque muchos muertos COVID-19 estaban "vacunados" durante 2021. No es hasta fechas recientes que los gobiernos han comenzado a precisar el estado "vacunal" de los muertos COVID-19, fundamentalmente como parte de la campaña de acoso a las personas "no vacunadas".  Parece que las estadísticas recientes no son favorables a la estrategia gubernamental, por  lo que los datos se van cubriendo de un velo de misterio. En conclusión, la comparación de la mortalidad COVID-19 antes y después del comienzo de la "vacunación" más masiva de la historia de la humanidad (hasta ahora) no permite afirmar que las "vacunas" han disminuido la mortalidad COVID-19 hasta la fecha de los datos recogidos de OWID.   ***** ******* ********** Content: Data downloaded from Our World in Data at January 07, 2022 Source code for the analysis and visualization  submitted figure  submitted letter response from the journal

Adverse effects of remdesivir, hydroxychloroquine, and lopinavir/ritonavir when used for COVID-19: systematic review and meta-analysis of randomized trials

Background: To summarize specific adverse effects of remdesivir, hydroxychloroquine, and lopinavir/ritonavir in patients with COVID-19. Methods: We searched 32 databases through 27 October 2020. We included randomized trials comparing any of the drugs of interest to placebo or standard care, or against each other. We conducted fixed-effects pairwise meta-analysis and assessed the certainty of evidence using the GRADE approach. Results: We included 16 randomized trials which enrolled 8226 patients. For most interventions and outcomes the certainty of the evidence was very low to low except for gastrointestinal adverse effects from hydroxychloroquine, which was moderate certainty. Compared to standard care or placebo, low certainty evidence suggests that remdesivir may not have an important effect on acute kidney injury or cognitive dysfunction/delirium. Low certainty evidence suggests that hydroxychloroquine may increase the risk of cardiac toxicity (and cognitive dysfunction/delirium, whereas moderate certainty evidence suggests hydroxychloroquine probably increases the risk of diarrhoea (RD 106 more per 1000, 95% CI: 48 more to 175 more) and nausea and/or vomiting (RD 62 more per 1000, 95% CI: 23 more to 110 more) compared to standard care or placebo. Low certainty evidence suggests lopinavir/ritonavir may increase the risk of diarrhoea and nausea and/or vomiting compared to standard care or placebo. Discussion: Hydroxychloroquine probably increases the risk of diarrhoea and nausea and/or vomiting and may increase the risk of cardiac toxicity and cognitive dysfunction/delirium. Lopinavir/ritonavir may increase the risk of diarrhoea and nausea and/or vomiting. Remdesivir may have no important effect on risk of acute kidney injury or cognitive dysfunction/delirium. These findings provide important information to support the development of evidence-based management strategies for patients with COVID-19.

Building Interprofessional Learning in the Midst of the COVID-19 Pandemic: Implementation of Online Simulation for Students in Health Profession

Abstract COVID-19 has significantly affected the learning process of health institutions. It is inevitable that face-to-face learning activities will shift to online learning, including Interprofessional Education (IPE). The purpose of this article is to describe our experiences in developing a simulation of a two-day interprofessional learning and teaching session for students in nursing, midwifery, pharmacy, environmental sanitation, medical laboratory technology, dental health, and nutrition. A total of 956 students, 112 lecturers, and 15 standardized patients (SP) took part in this research. The study conducted in 6 schools of health profession in Indonesia. Students were assigned to two simulation models. The data were collected using an online questionnaire with the variables readiness to cooperate, interprofessional group discussions, and facilitator role with a 5-point Likert scale. In the implementation of the two simulation models, significant results have been demonstrated and their uniqueness is revealed. The simulation models that make direct anamnesis of the SP results in a higher level of readiness for IPE learning, and is significantly different. Meanwhile, the simulation model that is preceded by a scenario discussion process before making anamnesis to the SP shows a significantly positive attitude to the interprofessional groups discussion and the role of the facilitator. Keywords: interprofessional education, COVID-19 pandemic, online simulation, health professionals, standardized patient

Data repository of Predictors of Social Response to COVID-19 among Health Care Workers Caring for Individuals with Confirmed COVID-19 in Jordan

The outbreak of COVID-19 forced public health authorities around the world to call for national emergency plans. Public responses, in form of social discrimination and stigmatizing behaviors, are increasingly being observed against confirmed individuals with confirmed COVID-19 and healthcare workers (HCWs) caring for those individuals. Hence, this study aimed to investigate the perception of social discrimination and coping strategies, and explore predictors of social discrimination and coping toward COVID-19 among HCWs and individuals with confirmed COVID-19. This study used a cross-sectional descriptive-comparative design to collect data using a convenience sample of 105 individuals with confirmed COVID-19 and 109 HCWs using a web-based survey format. In this study, individuals confirmed with COVID-19 reported a high level of social discrimination compared with HCWs (t = 2.62, p < .01). While HCWs reported high level of coping with COVID-19 compared with individuals with COVID-19 (t = -3.91, p < .001). Educational level, age, monthly income, and taking over-the-counter medication were predictors of social discrimination and coping with COVID-19 among HCWs and individuals confirmed with COVID-19. In conclusion, the findings showed individuals with confirmed COVID-19 were more likely to face social discrimination and HCWs perform better coping with COVID-19 than individuals with confirmed COVID-19.

Raw Data for the article: Apneic Tracheostomy in COVID-19 Patients on Veno-Venous Extracorporeal Membrane Oxygenation

COVID-19 creates an impressive burden for intensive care units in terms of need for advanced respiratory care, with a huge number of acute respiratory distress syndromes (ARDS) requiring prolonged mechanical ventilation. In some cases, this proves to be insufficient, with a refractory respiratory failure calling for an extracorporeal approach (veno-venous ECMO). In this scenario, most of these patients need an early tracheostomy procedure to be carried out, which creates the risk of distribution of aerosol particles, possibly leading to personnel infection. The use of apneic tracheostomy has been proposed for COVID-19 patients, but in case of ECMO it may produce lung derecruitment, severe hypoxemia, and sudden worsening of respiratory mechanics. We developed an apneic tracheostomy technique and applied it in over 32 patients supported by veno-venous ECMO. We present data showing the safety and feasibility of this technique in terms of patient care and personnel protection. Gas exchange and pH did not show statistically significant changes after the tracheostomy, nor did respiratory mechanics data or the need for inspiratory pressure and FiO2. The use of apneic tracheostomy was a safe option for patient care during ECMO and reduced the possibility of virus spreading.

Burnout and anxiety levels in Human Medicine teachers, COVID-19 context

Introduction: In the COVID-19 context, university teachers have had to face the most complex educational demands, psychosocial risks, and the anxiety of responding to limitations in terms of connectivity and fulfillment of academic objectives. Objective: To identify the levels of burnout and anxiety in the COVID-19 context and determine how these levels are manifested in the participating teachers. Methodology: Analytical-type study; non-experimental, cross-sectional design. The population was 150 teachers of the Human Medicine Program of the University of San Martín de Porres, Chiclayo, Peru; sample: 66 teachers. The survey consisted of three sections: 1. Informed consent, 2. Maslach's Burnout Inventory, 3. Beck's Anxiety Inventory. Data processing was performed using the SPSS V.27 statistical software. All citations and bibliographical references were processed using Mendeley Desktop 1.19.8. Results: in the variable burnout syndrome, 25% of the participants are in the high level downwards; they present anxiety in 30.30% of the total. It was found that 50% of teachers presented mild to moderate anxiety. Conclusions: the largest number of teachers surveyed present anxiety due to burnout syndrome in the COVID-19 context. Finally, it is found that there is a correlation between anxiety and the sociodemographic variables sex, age, and marital status.

Students' Perception towards e-learning during COVID-19 Pandemic in Indonesia

The study explores university students' perceptions of e-learning in the context of the ongoing COVID-19 epidemic. The study finds that students prefer e-learning because it enables them to connect with their lecturers and fellow students and engage with their study materials at their leisure, and with the freedom to choose their preferred location and time. One of the key reason students choose e-learning is the ease with which they may obtain study resources. The research methods used with a quantitative model, where the sample tested represented the student of 1137 respondents from 43 universities in Indonesia.  The study's findings show the weakness of e-learning is that the majority of respondents responded in turn to interaction with lecturers (52,7%). The study also identified that the majority of respondents have a moderate mastery of technology, 1038 individuals (77.6%), while the remainder has poor knowledge of technology, as many as 52 people (3.9%).  According to the study, e-learning technology enables quick access to information, which results in students developing a favorable attitude toward it based on its utility, self-efficacy, the convenience of use, and student behavior related to e-learning. The study verifies the utility of e-learning by demonstrating how it enables students to study from any geographical location, which is not achievable with face-to-face instruction.
