“…[ 12 , 14 , 15 ] It was observed that more than one-third (33.5%) of patients had no co-morbidity, 33.5% had 1 co-morbidity, and in 32.7% of patients, 2 or above co-morbidity was present. A study done by Revathishree et al [ 16 ] also found that about 57% of covid patients had 1 or more comorbidity. Among co-morbidities, HTN (413.4%) was the most common co-morbidity found in this study, followed by DM (39.4%), bronchial asthma (9.4%), and ischemic heart disease (7.6%).…”

In December 2019, with pneumonia-like clinical manifestations, a new severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 emerged and quickly escalated into a pandemic. Since the first case detected in early March of last year, 8668 have died with an infection mortality rate of 1.52%, as of March 20, 2021. Bangladesh has been struck by the 2nd wave from mid-march 2021. As data on the second wave are sparse, the present study observed the demographic profile, symptoms, and outcomes of Coronavirus Disease 2019 (COVID-19) patients during this wave. The study was conducted at Sheikh Russel National Gastroliver Institute on 486 admitted cases during the 2nd wave of COVID-19 in Bangladesh (March 24–April 24, 2021) using a cross-sectional study design and a convenient sampling technique. Out of 486 cases, 306 (62.9%) were male, and 180 were female, with a mean age of 53.47 ± 13.86. The majority of patients (32.5%) were between the ages of 51 and 60. While fever and cough being the predominant symptoms (>70% cases), the most common co-morbidities were hypertension (41.4) and diabetes mellitus (39.4). Intensive care unit utilization rate was 25%, and a half of the patients had 51% to 70% tomographic lung involvement with an overall mortality rate of 19.3%. Older age, chronic renal disease, percentage of lung involvement, and intensive care unit necessity were important mortality determinants. The present study gives an insight into the demographic profiles and outcomes of admitted patients with COVID-19 during the second wave at a covid dedicated hospital in Bangladesh.

“…After testing the psychometric properties of the scale (e.g., exploratory factor analysis, correlation analyses), only seven of the 10 items were retained in the final scale. Since then, it has been translated, validated, and used in many countries including versions in Arabic (Alyami et al, 2020), Amharic (Elemo et al, 2020), Bangla (Mamun et al, 2021;Sakib et al, 2020), Chinese (Chang et al, 2020), [Cuban] Spanish (Broche-Pérez et al, 2020), English (Winter et al, 2020), Greek (Tsipropoulou et al, 2020), Indian (Doshi et al, 2020;Revathishree et al, 2020), Israeli (Bitan et al, 2020), Italian (Soraci et al, 2020), Japanese (Masuyama et al, 2020;Wakashima et al, 2020), Kazakh (Konstantinov et al, 2020), Malay (Pang et al, 2020), [Mexican] Spanish (García-Reyna et al, 2020), Pakistani (Mahmood et al, 2020), Peruvian [Spanish] (Huarcaya-Victoria et al, 2020), Polish (Sigorski et al, 2020), Russian (Reznik et al, 2020;Yehudai et al, 2020), Spanish (Martínez-Lorca et al, 2020), Taiwanese (Chang et al, 2020), and Turkish (Kaya et al, 2020). A growing body of research is now using this scale to investigate the consequence of the COVID-19 pandemic on psychological well-being (e.g., Mamun et al, 2021;Perz et al, 2020;Rahman et al, 2020;Satici et al, 2020;Sigorski et al, 2020).…”

The COVID-19 crisis represents a global health concern, including mental health. Regarding the necessity to assess anxiety related to COVID-19, a scale was developed (Ahorsu et al., 2020). The goal of the present study was to validate the Fear of COVID-19 Scale in French (official language in 29 countries), and investigate its relationship with indicators of affective disturbances. The sample comprised 316 participants (271 females) recruited online during the French lockdown. They were from several regions of France. The FCV-19S underwent a forward-backward translation procedure. Its psychometric properties were evaluated with the confirmatory factor analysis (CFA). The French FCV-19S demonstrated a stable unidimensional structure with robust psychometric properties (strong internal consistency, good convergent and divergent validity, and good test-retest validity). With its robust psychometric properties in assessing the unidimensional construct of the fear of COVID-19, this scale will help to provide a better understanding of the relationship between emotions and psychological or psychiatric disorders during the pandemics in Frenchspeaking countries.

“…One possible reason may be the good recovery rate of COVID-19 in India. [ 19 ] The poorer prognosis apparent in COVID-19 in menopausal females might be due to higher age and associate comorbidities. [ 17 ] The true answer to this question can only be answered by larger future prospective studies or randomized control trials.…”

Background: COVID-19 has shown a definite association with gender, a predilection for males in terms of morbidity and mortality. The indirect evidence of the protective effect of estrogen has been shown by Channappanavar, in the animal model and Ding T. in a multihospital study from China, suggesting menopause as independent risk factor and estrogen is negatively correlated with severity. Objective: Study the clinical profile and outcomes in premenopausal and menopausal. Covid-19-infected women and analyzed the effect of menstrual status on the outcome. Materials and Methods: A retrospective cohort study conducted on 147 mild and moderate category COVID-19 females admitted between May and August 2020 using hospital records and telephonic follow-up. Two groups formed based on menstrual status: group-1 (premenopausal/estrogenic) and Group-2 (menopausal/hypoestrogenic). Hospital stay duration was considered as primary, while the category of disease on admission, clinical course, the requirement of oxygen, and mortality and residual symptoms were taken as a secondary outcome to compare the groups. Results: Overall Group-1 had significantly more of mild disease, while Group-2 had moderate cases (39 [76.5%] vs. 14 [14.6%] P < 0.01). Menopausal group has significantly more requirement of oxygen (32 [62.7%] vs. 20 [20.8%]), ventilation (14 [27.5%] vs. 1 [1%]) progression-to-severe disease (23.5% vs. 7.3%) and prolonged hospital stay ([14.1 ± 8.9 vs. 8.6 ± 3.9 days] P < 0.01). However, multivariate logistic regression failed to show a significant association between hospital stay and progression with menopause. Ferritin and residual symptoms found significantly higher in menopausal. Conclusions: No definite association was found between menopause and COVID-19 outcome with hospital stay duration or disease progression in our study.
