Objective: In the initial stages of the COVID-19 epidemic, frontline medical staff faced numerous psychological pressures, such as shortages of medical supplies, lack of treatment experience, and high risk of infection. This study plans to understand the mental resilience and psychosomatic status of first-line anti-epidemic medical team members to provide a reference for managing their mental health status and the improvement of mental resilience.
Methods: From March 3 to March 5, 2020 a medical team serving as a first-line medical rescue group in Wuhan was chosen as the research subject, with 160 cases.
Objectives: We aimed to identify high-risk factors for disease progression and fatality for coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) patients.
Methods: We enrolled 2433 COVID-19 patients and used LASSO regression and multivariable cause-specific Cox proportional hazard models to identify the risk factors for disease progression and fatality.
Results: The median time for progression from mild-to-moderate, moderate-to-severe, severe-to-critical, and critical-to-death were 3.
It is widely recognized that hypertension is one of the major risk factor for disease severity and mortality in patients with coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19). However, type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) and hypertension are frequent comorbid conditions, complicating the assessment of hypertension's individual contribution to the risk. The aims of this study were to evaluate the contributions of hypertension alone, T2DM alone, or their combination to the risk of death, acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS)/respiratory failure, and severe COVID-19 infection.

A total of 1578 patients admitted into a newly built hospital specialized for COVID-19 treatment in Wuhan, China, were enrolled. Clinical features and the levels of severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) immunoglobulin (Ig)M and IgG were analyzed.

This outbreak quickly spread all over China and then to more than 20 other countries. SARS-CoV-2 fluorescent microsphere immunochromatographic test strips were prepared by the combination of time-resolved fluorescence immunoassay with a lateral flow assay.
