Background: Disease severity and pregnancy outcomes following SARS-CoV-2 reinfections in pregnancy are not well understood.
Methods: We linked women aged 18 to 50 years testing positive in the community for COVID-19 between April 2021 and March 2022 to hospital, vaccine and maternal services databases. We compared hospital and intensive care unit (ICU) admission rates following infection and reinfection in pregnant and non-pregnant women, and low birthweight, prematurity and stillbirth in women infected and reinfected during pregnancy.
Article Synopsis
- The study investigates how incivility and bullying among students in Swedish higher education affect their health and well-being, with a focus on whether gender plays a role in these dynamics.
- Using data from over 17,000 students across 38 universities, the research finds that women report more instances of incivility and bullying than men.
- Although incivility is directly linked to poor health and well-being, the study finds that bullying does not significantly mediate this relationship, highlighting the need for targeted interventions considering gender differences.
