Abstract

Background Vaccination is a Crucial public health strategy for reducing the transmission of viral infections and protecting populations from severe illness. COVID-19 vaccines have played a significant role in decreasing the incidence and mortality rates linked to the virus. However, immune responses to vaccination may differ among individuals, especially those with comorbidies that could alter immune function. This study aimed to compare antibody responses in adults with and without comorbidities, 18 months after receiving the COVID-19 vaccine. Methods This was a cohort study with two sampling time points: before vaccination and 18 months after vaccination. The study was conducted in Yogyakarta, Indonesia. Data were collected through self-administered questionnaires and venous blood sampling. Antibody titers were measured to evaluate the humoral immune response in participants with and without comorbidities. Results Before vaccination, the highest proportion of positive antibody titers was found among females (40.2%), individuals aged 18–44 years (44.7%), those with a senior high school education (48.1%), and individuals with normal body weight (44.3%). A Comparison of antibody levels at baseline and 18 months after vaccination between groups with and without comorbidities showed no statistically significant difference, with a p-value of 0.992.   Conclusions Although no significant difference was found in antibody responses between individuals with and without comorbidities, comorbid conditions may still influence immune response depending on their type and severity. These findings suggest the need for further research to examine the specific effects of various comorbidities on long-term vaccine-induced immunity.

Abstract

BACKGROUNDThe frequency and duration of using electronic devices have increased rapidly due to working from home during the Covid19 pandemic. This causes many complaints of vision such as tired eyes, heat, blur, foreign body sensation in the eyes and various other symptoms. All of these are known as Computer Vision Syndrome (CVS) symptoms, which could happen in and/or outside the eye. This study aims to analyze the relationship between the use of electronic devices with CVS symptoms felt by employees of the Faculty of Medicine, Universitas Trisakti, Jakarta. METHODSFifty-three employees aged 25-60; were recruited for this cross-sectional study. A complete questionnaire consisting of several questions, including the type and number of electronic devices used, how many hours of use in a day, and complaints felt when using electronic devices, was applied to determine the CVS symptoms. In addition, a visual inspection was conducted to determine the visual acuity. Fisher's exact test was used for analyzing the statistics. RESULTSMore than half of the subjects (52.8%) used 3-4 electronic devices for more than 6 hours daily (56.6%). Multiple CVS symptoms were complaint by 52.83% of subjects, such as tired eyes, blurred vision, and dry eyes observed in 71.7%, 45.3%, and 33.9% of subjects, respectively. Bivariate analysis using Fisher's exact test assessed the relationship between risk factors, such as the use of electronic devices, gender, age, number of electronic devices used, duration of usage in a day, visual acuity, and the incidence of CVS complaints. There was no significant relationship between the various risk factors with CVS complaints, indicated by p>0.05 in all variables. CONCLUSIONUsers of electronic devices often feel various complaints in their eyes when using these devices. Although there was no association between the risk factors studied and complaints of CVS, it is still critical to investigate other factors that may be associated with the incidence of CVS due to its multifactorial pathogenesis.
