Since its emergence in Wuhan, China, covid-19 has spread and had a profound effect on the lives and health of people around the globe. As of 4 July 2021, more than 183 million confirmed cases of covid-19 had been recorded worldwide, and 3.97 million deaths. Recent evidence has shown that a range of persistent symptoms can remain long after the acute SARS-CoV-2 infection, and this condition is now coined long covid by recognized research institutes. Studies have shown that long covid can affect the whole spectrum of people with covid-19, from those with very mild acute disease to the most severe forms. Like acute covid-19, long covid can involve multiple organs and can affect many systems including, but not limited to, the respiratory, cardiovascular, neurological, gastrointestinal, and musculoskeletal systems. The symptoms of long covid include fatigue, dyspnea, cardiac abnormalities, cognitive impairment, sleep disturbances, symptoms of post-traumatic stress disorder, muscle pain, concentration problems, and headache. This review summarizes studies of the long term effects of covid-19 in hospitalized and non-hospitalized patients and describes the persistent symptoms they endure. Risk factors for acute covid-19 and long covid and possible therapeutic options are also discussed.

“…According to a report on how professional nurses responded to the COVID-19 pandemic in Korea, the Korean Nurses Association, nurse leaders, and volunteer nurses showed numerous systematic actions against COVID-19 [ 34 ]. Additionally, individual hospitals took specific actions against the COVID-19 pandemic by themselves [ 35 , 36 , 37 ]. Many nurses also showed endless efforts against the pandemic [ 38 ].…”

The global COVID-19 pandemic is creating challenges to manage staff ratios in clinical units. Nurse staffing level is an important indicator of the quality of care. This study aimed to identify any changes in the nurse staffing levels in the general wards of hospitals in Korea during the COVID-19 pandemic. The unit of analysis was the hospitals. This longitudinal study observed the quarterly change of the nurse staffing grades in 969 hospitals in 2020. The nurse staffing grades ranged from 1 to 7 according to the nurse–patient ratio measured by the number of patients (or beds) per nurse. The major dependent and independent variables were the change of nurse staffing grades and three quarterly observation points being compared with those during the 1st quarter (1Q) of 2020, respectively. A generalized linear model was used. Unexpectedly, the nurse staffing grades significantly improved (2Q: RR, 27.2%; 95% confidence interval (CI), 15.1–27.6; p < 0.001; 3Q: RR, 95% CI, 20.2%; 16.9–21.6; p < 0.001; 4Q: RR, 26.6%; 95% CI, 17.8–39.6; p < 0.001) quarterly, indicating that the nurse staffing levels increased. In the comparison of grades at 2Q, 3Q, and 4Q with those at 1Q, most figures improved in tertiary, general, and small hospitals (p < 0.05), except at 3Q and 4Q of general hospitals. In conclusion, the nurse staffing levels did not decrease, but nursing shortage might occur.

BackgroundMonoclonal antibodies are a treatment option for patients with mild-to-moderate coronavirus disease (COVID-19). We investigated the effectiveness of regdanvimab, an anti-SARS-CoV-2 monoclonal antibody approved in South Korea, in the treatment of patients with mild-to-moderate COVID-19. MethodsMedical records of mild-to-moderate COVID-19 patients admitted to a COVID-19 designated hospital were reviewed to assess baseline characteristics (age, gender, BMI, and comorbidities) and clinical outcomes such as supplemental oxygen requirements, mortality, and length of hospitalization.ResultsFour hundred seventy-four COVID-19 patients were included in the study, and 66 of them were administered regdanvimab. The proportion of patients requiring supplemental oxygen was significantly lower in the regdanvimab group than in control group without statistical significance (6.1% vs. 22.8%, P = 0.001). There was no significant difference in mortality (0% vs 1.2%, P > 0.999) and the length of hospitalization (median: 10.5 days vs. 7.5 days, P = 0.067) between both groups. Increasing age, male sex, chest X-ray abnormality, underlying chronic kidney disease and administration of regdanvimab were found to have a significant univariate association with oxygen requirement. The multivariate analysis demonstrated that increasing age (OR: 1.03, 95% CI: 1.01-1.05, P < 0.001) and chest X-ray abnormality (OR: 4.40, 95% CI: 2.49-8.21, P < 0.001) were independently associated with higher requirement of oxygen and administration of regdanvimab was independently associated with lower oxygen supplement (OR: 0.17, 95% CI: 0.05-0.47, P < 0.002). ConclusionsRegdanvimab reduced the need for supplemental oxygen and fatalities in mild-to-moderate COVID-19 patients who matching the indications for administration of regdanvimab.
