“…For instance, Quast [22]. YPLL calculations either assumed a fixed target age to which years lost is measured [16,18], or used a life table to calculate the expected remaining time (i.e., time lost) for each death [17,[19][20][21][22]. An additional limitation that poses a challenge in comparisons between countries is that the range of age groups in which deaths are grouped varies considerably from country to country.…”

“…An additional limitation that poses a challenge in comparisons between countries is that the range of age groups in which deaths are grouped varies considerably from country to country. Only some studies reported YPLL per 100,000 population or per death [16][17][18]21,22], or used both reported deaths and excess deaths to account for the potential undercounting [17,18], adjusted the residual life expectancy entering the YLL calculation for pre-existing conditions [15,17] or attempted to contextualize the burden of COVID-19 performing a comparison with YLL due to other diseases [18][19][20][21]. Only in one study have disability-adjusted life years (DALY) lost to COVID-19 been estimated to account for both fatal cases and years lived with disability [21].…”

In 2020 COVID-19 caused 41,442 deaths in Poland. We aimed to estimate the burden of COVID-19 using years of potential life lost (YPLL) and quality-adjusted years of life lost (QALYL). YPLL were calculated by multiplying the number of deaths due to COVID-19 in the analyzed age/sex group by the residual life expectancy for that group. Standard and country-specific (local) life tables were used to calculate SPYLL and LPYLL, respectively. QALYL were calculated adjusting LPYLL due to COVID-19 death by age/sex specific utility values. Deaths from COVID-19 in Poland in 2020 caused loss of 630,027 SPYLL, 436,361 LPYLL, and 270,572 QALYL. The loss was greater among men and rose with age reaching the maximum among men aged 65–69 and among women aged 70–74. Burden of COVID-19 in terms of YPLL is proportionate to external-cause deaths and was higher than the burden of disease in the respiratory system. Differential effects by sex and age indicate important heterogeneities in the mortality effects of COVID-19 and justifies policies based not only on age, but also on sex. Comparison with YPLL due to other diseases showed that mortality from COVID-19 represents a substantial burden on both society and on individuals in Poland.

Mortality and Associated Factors in Patients with COVID-19: Cross-Sectional Study

et al. 2022

The novel virus severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-COV-2) is highly virulent and causes coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19), resulting in high morbidity and mortality mainly associated with pulmonary complications. Because this virus is highly transmissible, it was quickly spread globally, resulting in COVID-19 being declared as a pandemic. This study aimed to analyze the prevalence of mortality and the factors related to mortality due to COVID-19 in patients with severe acute respiratory syndrome (SARS) at a university hospital in the Central—West region of Brazil. This retrospective cross-sectional study was based on an analysis of the medical records of patients with SARS aged >18 years and admitted to an intensive care unit due to COVID-19 with the requirement of invasive mechanical ventilation. Hospital death was considered as an outcome variable in this study. Moreover, demographic and lifestyle-related variables as well as the therapeutic measures used during the hospital stay were recorded and correlated with the death outcome. After excluding 188 medical records, 397 were analyzed. Most of the participants were men (59.7%), and the mortality rate in patients with SARS due to COVID19 was 46.1%. Multiple regression analysis indicated that the independent factors associated with mortality in patients with SARS due to COVID19 were the age of >60 years (p < 0.001) and the use of azithromycin (p = 0.012). Protective factors for mortality were considered as not having the following diseases: hyperthyroidism, asthma, hepatic inheritance, and not being a smoker. The mortality rate in patients with SARS due to COVID19 was associated with older age and the use of azithromycin.

Background: During Covid pandemic the teaching/learning shifted from face to face to online. All institutions around the world developed learning environment for the students to facilitate distant learning. Subsequently assessments also followed online. After opening of the institutions on campus learning and assessments were carried out as usual. Objective: To see the effectiveness of teaching methods (online versus on campus) and to suggest improvement in both methods of teaching. Study Design: Retrospective comparative study Place and Duration of Study: Hitec-IMS, Taxila Pakistan from 1st September 2021 to 29th February 2022. Methodology: One hundred and ninety six academic performances of students in both the methods of learning were enrolled. Using purposive sampling technique, the EOB results of online and on campus were analyzed. Results: The better performance of student in term of summative assessments during online learning. Conclusion: Students found online environment better for learning and performing during examinations. Keywords: HITEC-IMS (Hitec Institute of Medical Sciences), NUMS (National University of Medical Sciences), EOB (end of block)
