Abstract

The study sought to determine the prevalence of persistent long COVID symptoms such as anxiety, depression, dizziness, chest pain, sleep difficulty, palpitations, weight loss, and hair loss among coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) survivors worldwide and to discuss the potential pathogeneses. Potential studies were searched in three databases (PubMed, Scopus, and Web of Science) as of January 30, 2021. Data on study characteristics, patient characteristics during the follow-up, the number of patients with persistent long COVID symptoms and total COVID-19 survivors were collected according to PRISMA guidelines. To assess the quality of studies, the Newcastle-Ottawa scale was used. The estimated prevalence of each long COVID symptom and the association between COVID-19 severity and the occurrence of prolonged symptoms was assessed, if appropriate. The global prevalence of prolonged anxiety was 15.76% (95%CI: 6.36%, 25.15%). Chest pain persisted in 10.36% (239/3,224) of COVID-19 patients (95%CI: 4.92%, 15.80%). Prolonged depression was found in 24 of 548 COVID-19 survivors with an estimated prevalence of 4.32% (95%CI: 2.62%, 6.03%) and dizziness was presented in 4.83% (118/2,219, 95%CI: 1.50%, 8.16%) after recovery. Hair loss was complained by 527 of 2,251 recovered patients (cumulative prevalence of 24.76%, 95%CI: 19.60%, 29.91%), while weight loss was identified in 37 cases among 452 COVID-19 survivors (8.19%, 95%CI: 5.66%, 10.71%). Prolonged palpitation was experienced by 19.38% (211/1,926) survivors with 95%CI: 2.40%, 41.16%. Sleep difficulty was found in 541 of 2,622 COVID-19 survivors (17.87%, 95%CI: 7.55%, 28.20%). The association between COVID-19 severity and the occurrence of persistent long COVID symptoms was not analyzed due to the lack of data. In conclusion, persistent psychological symptoms are frequently reported among COVID-19 survivors. Follow-up studies with a longer duration and larger population are warranted to assess the extent of prolonged symptoms and the quality of life of COVID-19 survivors. Despite various potential pathogeneses that have been hypothesized, a definitive mechanism is yet to be addressed.

Abstract

The evidence on the role of diets in the production of short-chain fatty acids (SCFAs) was limited. The aim of this study was to assess the potential effects of high-fat high-fructose (HFHF), high-fat, and Western diets on the levels of SCFA. A research experiment employing a post-test-only control group design was carried out from January to April 2022. A total of 27 rats were randomly allocated to each study group. SCFA was measured two weeks after diet administration. Analysis of variance (ANOVA) test was used to analyze the differences among groups, and the effect estimate of each group was analyzed using post hoc Tukey. The concentrations of SCFAs post HFHF diets were recorded as follows: acetic acid at 54.60±10.58 mmol/g, propionic acid at 28.03±8.81 mmol/g, and butyric acid at 4.23±1.68 mmol/g. Following the high-fat diet, acetic acid measured 61.85±14.25 mmol/gr, propionic acid measured 25.19±5.55 mmol/gr, and butyric acid measured 6.10±2.93 mmol/gr. After the administration of Western diet, the levels of SCFA were 68.18±25.73, 29.69±12.76, and 7.48±5.51 mmol/g for acetic acid, propionic acid, and butyric acid, respectively. The level of butyric acid was significantly lower in HFHF diet group compared to the normal diet (mean difference (MD) 6.34; 95%CI: 0.61, 12.04; p=0.026). The levels of acetic acid (p=0.419) and propionic acid (p=0.316) were not statistically different among diet types (HFHF, high-fat, and Western diet). In conclusion, HFHF diet is associated with a lower level of butyric acid than the normal diet in a rat model.

Abstract

Assessing the acceptance of the monkeypox vaccine is crucial for the success of vaccination programs, yet the prevalence reports remain inconclusive. The aim of this study was to determine the global prevalence of monkeypox vaccine acceptance and identify its associated factors. A meta-analysis was conducted with a comprehensive search strategy on the following databases, including Scopus, Embase, and PubMed, for articles published up to April 5, 2024. This study utilizes a single-arm meta-analysis to calculate the pooled prevalence of monkeypox vaccine acceptance. A Z-test was employed to identify factors associated with the vaccine acceptance. Our study analyzed 51 articles encompassing 98,746 participants, revealing an overall monkeypox vaccine acceptance rate of 65%. Notably, the highest acceptance rates were observed among men who have sex with men (MSMs), while healthcare workers (HCWs) showed the lowest acceptance rates. Additionally, our findings indicated an increased acceptance in individuals with educational attainment beyond a bachelor’s degree, a history of COVID-19 and influenza vaccination, homosexual orientation, and HIV-positive status. Conversely, lower acceptance risk was associated with those with educational attainment below a bachelor's degree, heterosexual orientation, and bisexual orientation. In conclusion, our current study has determined the rate of monkeypox vaccine acceptance and identified its associated factors. These findings offer valuable insights as the foundation for targeted policies to manage and increase acceptance rates.

Abstract

The prevalence of willingness to undergo renal transplantation and its potentially associated factors have been documented in multiple prior studies across different regions, yet certain findings are conflicting. The aim of this study was to determine the global prevalence of willingness for renal transplantation and identify its associated factors through meta-analysis methods. Databases such as Scopus, PubMed, and Embase were utilized for the search strategy, covering the period from April to May 2024. Data collection focused on gathering information regarding the prevalence and potential contributing factors of renal transplantation. Statistical analysis involved examining the cumulative prevalence of willingness for renal transplantation using single-arm meta-analysis. Factors associated with willingness for renal transplantation were analyzed using the Mantel–Haenszel test for categorical variables and the inverse variance method for numerical variables. A total of nine articles, covering 3935 patients with end-stage renal disease (ESRD) were included. The pooled estimates revealed that the overall prevalence of willingness to undergo renal transplantation among ESRD patients was 57% (95%CI: 0.46–0.67). Furthermore, we observed a higher likelihood of willingness among men and those of younger age, attainment of at least a bachelor's degree or higher in education, employment status, higher income levels, and a shorter duration of hemodialysis (<5 years). Our study has documented the global prevalence and potential associated factors of willingness to undergo renal transplantation, providing valuable insights for policymakers aiming to enhance the acceptance of renal transplantation.

Abstract

The insertion or deletion polymorphisms of the angiotensin-converting enzyme gene (ACE I/D) have been the subject of significant research related to coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19). Despite this, the findings have remained uncertain and debatable. The aim of this study was to determine the associations between the ACE I/D polymorphisms and the susceptibility as well as the severity of COVID-19. A meta-analysis study (PROSPERO: CRD42022384562) was conducted by searching the articles published on PubMed, Scopus, and Embase as of May 15, 2023. Information regarding the impact of ACE I/D variant on the susceptibility to COVID-19 and its severity was collected and analyzed utilizing the Mantel-Haenszel method with a random effects model or fixed effects model, depending on the presence or absence of heterogeneity. Out of 3,335 articles, 21 articles were included, of which 13 investigated the association between ACE I/D and the risk of COVID-19 infection and 18 of them examined its influence on disease severity. The D allele of ACE increased risk of COVID-19 infection (OR: 1.41; 95%CI: 1.08–1.85; p-Egger: 0.0676; p-Heterogeneity: <0.001; p=0.0120), while ACE I allele (OR: 0.71; 95%CI: 0.54–0.93; p-Egger: 0.0676; p-Heterogeneity: <0.001; p=0.012) and II genotype (OR: 0.55; 95%CI: 0.34–0.87; p-Egger: 0.200; p-Heterogeneity: <0.001; p=0.011) decreased the risk of infection. Additionally, there was a notable association between the ACE ID genotype and an elevated likelihood of experiencing severe COVID-19 within the Asian population (OR: 1.46; 95%CI: 1.15–1.84; p-Egger: 0.092; p-Heterogeneity: 0.116; p=0.002). The presence of ACE I/D polymorphisms significantly influences the likelihood of being susceptible to and experiencing the severity of COVID-19.

Abstract

Transplant renal artery stenosis (TRAS) is a serious complication of renal transplantation, with its prevalence and associated factors remaining inconclusive. The aim of this study was to assess the global prevalence and risk factors associated with TRAS incidence in renal transplant recipients. We conducted a meta-analysis by collecting data on the prevalence and factors associated with TRAS from articles in Scopus, Embase, and PubMed. The prevalence of TRAS was determined using a single-arm meta-analysis. The factors associated with TRAS were determined using Mantel-Haenszel analysis or inverse variance analysis. Out of 28,599 articles from the searches, 31 of them were included in the analysis. The global prevalence of TRAS was 6% among renal transplant recipients. Diabetes mellitus, hypertension, longer duration of dialysis before transplant, deceased donor, acute rejection, delayed graft function, longer cold ischemic time, and prolonged peak systolic velocity were associated with an increased risk of TRAS. Age, gender, peripheral artery disease (PAD) comorbidity, causes of end-stage renal disease (ESRD), previous dialysis modality, and cytomegalovirus infection were not associated with TRAS incidence. In conclusion, the global prevalence of TRAS in renal transplant recipients is relatively high, and some of the contributing factors to the development of TRAS are preventable. These findings could serve as a guideline for informing the management of TRAS in the future.

Abstract

Safety performance among healthcare workers is an important issue, and currently, the factors related to it remain unclear. The aim of this study was to identify the factors related to safety performance among the healthcare worker population. This meta-analysis study was conducted in accordance with the preferred reporting items for systematic reviews and meta-analyses (PRISMA) standards. Data on the factors affecting safety performance in the healthcare population were collected from each article to determine pooled point estimates. Data heterogeneity was evaluated using the Q statistic. Numerical data were analyzed using the inverse variance test, and the Mantel-Haenszel test was used for categorical data analysis. Pooled point estimates were presented as mean difference (MD) or odds ratio (OR) along with a 95% confidence interval (95%CI). Fifty articles were included in this study. Our results showed that nurses had lower safety performance compared to other professions (OR: 0.66; 95%CI: 0.56–0.79; p-Egger: 0.3739; p-Heterogeneity <0.0001; p<0.0001). On the other hand, it was also identified that housekeepers were associated with better safety performance compared to other professions (OR: 1.90; 95%CI: 1.08–3.35; p-Egger: 0.1577; p-Heterogeneity: 0.0950; p=0.0220). Furthermore, our findings revealed that healthcare workers who had undergone work safety training had better safety performance compared to those who had not (OR: 1.40; 95%CI: 1.01–1.95; p-Egger: 0.6124; p-Heterogeneity <0.0001; p=0.0430). In conclusion, this study has identified the factors contributing to safety performance in the healthcare population. These findings can inform policymakers in developing regulatory improvements regarding safety performance in healthcare workers.

Abstract

The choice between first-generation drug-eluting stents (DES) and second-generation DES in managing calcified coronary lesions remains a topic of debate. The aim of this study was to compare outcomes between first-generation DES and second-generation DES in patients with calcified coronary lesions. This meta-analysis study was conducted from October to November 2024. The databases used were Embase, Scopus, and PubMed. Relevant articles were collated, and data regarding outcomes in patients with calcified coronary lesions treated with first-generation and second-generation DES were included to calculate the pooled effect size. The statistical analysis was performed using the Mantel-Haenszel method. Six articles were included in the study. The results indicated that calcified coronary lesions treated with first-generation DES were associated with increased risks of all-cause mortality (Odd ratios (OR): 1.23; 95% confidence interval (95%CI): 1.05–1.45; p-Egger= 0.9346; p-Heterogeneity: 0.9720; p=0.0120), myocardial infarction (OR: 1.48; 95%CI: 1.22–1.80; p-Egger: 0.6472; p-Heterogeneity: 0.5890; p<0.0001); and target lesion revascularization (TLR) (OR: 1.47; 95%CI: 1.24–1.74; p-Egger: 0.9982; p-Heterogeneity: 0.5950; p<0.0001), in comparison with second-generation DES. In contrast, when comparing first- and second-generation DES in terms of cardiac death and major adverse cardiovascular events, a similar risk was depicted. This study compared the outcomes of first-generation and second-generation DES in the management of patients with calcified coronary lesions, which may serve as a reference for selecting DES in the patient population.
