“…Zhu J et al found that the prevalence of anxiety and depression symptoms was 11.4% and 45.6% in physicians and 27.9% and 43.0% in nurses 35 . In a study in Singapore and India, the depression symptoms were reported 10.6% and anxiety symptoms were reported 15.7% in medical workers 36 …”

“…In the current study, 51.4% and 52% of the nurses and doctors had depression symptoms, while 68.6% and 68.5% had anxiety symptoms. The nurses and doctors in Iran have experienced higher symptoms of anxiety and depression than in the China 35 and other countries 36 during the outbreak. Perhaps, one of the reasons is the lack of sufficient personal protective equipment such as gloves and masks at the beginning of the outbreak.…”

Background The COVID‐19 outbreak has exerted a great deal of psychological pressure on Iranian health workers and the general population. The aim of this study was to determine the effect of pandemic on anxiety and depression in Iranian population. Methods An online cross‐sectional study was conducted for the general public and healthcare workers in Iran using a questionnaire comprised of demographic questions and Hospital Anxiety and Depression Scale. Chi‐square test and univariate and multivariate logistic regression models were conducted. Results Of the 2045 participants, 1136 (65.6%) were considered to have moderate and severe anxiety symptoms, and 865 (42.3%) had moderate and severe depression symptoms. The prevalence of anxiety was higher in the females than in the males (OR = 1.4, 95% CI: 1.123‐1.643, P = .002); the prevalence of anxiety was significantly higher in those aged 30‐39 years than in other age‐groups (OR = 1.6, 95% CI: 1.123‐2.320, P = .001); furthermore, the prevalence of anxiety and depression was significantly higher in doctors and nurses compared with other occupations ((OR = 1.9, 95% CI: 1.367‐2.491, P < .001) and (OR = 1.5, 95% CI: 1.154‐2.021, P = .003)). In addition, the prevalence of anxiety symptoms in the likely infected COVID‐19 group was higher than in the noninfected COVID‐19 group (OR = 1.35, 95% CI: 1.093‐1.654, P = .005). Conclusions Regarding the high prevalence of anxiety and depression symptoms, especially among healthcare workers, appropriate psychological/psychiatric intervention necessitates.

“…W.B.C count, O2 saturation, and ALP were related to lung involvement significantly. Cough, fever, and dyspnea were main symptoms (Zarghami et al, 2020). Abnormal HRCT was a main indicator to evaluate the COVID-19 disease.…”

“…The infection spread across other countries round the world (Zhu et al). On January 30, 2020, the World Health Organization (WHO) stated the outbreak a Public Health Emergency of International Concern (Sohrabi et al, 2020).the symptoms of COVID-19 can be fever, dry cough, fatigue, shortness of breath, myalgia or even no symptoms (Diao et al, 2020, Wan et al, 2020, Zarghami et al, 2020.likewise, the studies revealed that older age, male gender, leukocytosis, and Blood laboratory findings, also, comorbidities such as high lactate dehydrogenase level, cardiac injury, hypertension, diabetes mellitus, hypothyroidism, coronary artery disease, smoking and hyperglycemia, were related to weak prognosis in COVID-19 patients (Zhang et al, 2020b, Zarghami et al, 2019.Though, information concerning to clinical features of COVID-19 is still making it difficult for physicians to distinguish the causative agents without related laboratory analysis (Wu and McGoogan, 2020).Furthermore, reverse transcriptionpolymerase chain reaction (RT-), the gold standard for confirming diagnosis of COVID-19, has some restrictions, such as false negative results and limited sampling method and the rate of high false negative and unavailability of in the early stage of the outbreak restricted fast diagnosis of infection in patients (Fang et al, 2020). The high resolution computed tomography (HRCT) of the chest is progressively recognized as a strong indicator for early diagnosis, and can be the key to the evaluation of COVID-19 suspected patients because the changes in chest imaging sometimes maybe earlier than symptoms (He et al, 2020).…”

The clinical symptoms, blood laboratory data, O2 saturation and high resolution computed tomography (HRCT) findings are critical factors in diagnosis of COVID-19 infection. In this study, 105 hospitalized patients suspected of having COVID-19 were evaluated. Finally, the data of 83 confirmed cases by HRCT and RT-PCR were analyzed. 61.40% of the patients had a comorbidity disease. 89.20% had fever, 92.00% cough, 91.40% dyspnea. Abnormal CRP seen in 77.80% of the patients following by 66.70% lymphopenia, and 60.30% neutrophilia. Also, ALP (abnormal vs. normal) and score of HRCT assessment variables had a significant effect on the positiveness of HRCT findings. 87.95% had abnormal HRCT with 41% bilateral multilobar patchy ground glass opacity (GGO). Moreover, there was a statistically significant association between level of O2 saturation and HRCT results. Our findings showed that male patients with middle age and comorbidity disease were more susceptible to the COVID-19 infection. Additionally, clinical features, blood laboratory findings, O2 saturation and HRCT findings are critical factors in prognosis of COVID-19 infection.

“…Second, we also used self-reported measures of depression, anxiety and HIV status which are associated with high risk of social desirability bias. These forms of self-report may be more sensitive to identifying non-depressed, non-anxious and HIV negative individuals [36] because of the stigma associated with positive HIV and poor mental health status in sub-Saharan Africa [37][38][39][40]. Stigma may have resulted in under-reporting and an underestimation of the proportion of respondents who were depressed, anxious or PLHIV.…”

An online survey was conducted to identify factors associated with financial insecurity, food insecurity and poor quality of daily lives of adults in Nigeria during the first wave of the COVID-19 pandemic. The associations between the outcome (experience of financial loss, changes in food intake and impact of the pandemic on daily lives) and the explanatory (age, sex, education level, anxiety, depression, HIV status) variables were determined using logistic regression analysis. Of the 4439 respondents, 2487 (56.0%) were financially insecure, 907 (20.4%) decreased food intake and 4029 (90.8%) had their daily life negatively impacted. Males (AOR:0.84), people who felt depressed (AOR:0.62) and people living with HIV -PLHIV- (AOR:0.70) had significantly lower odds of financial insecurity. Older respondents (AOR:1.01) had significantly higher odds of financial insecurity. Those depressed (AOR:0.62) and PLHIV (AOR:0.55) had significantly lower odds of reporting decreased food intake. Respondents who felt anxious (AOR:0.07), depressed (AOR: 0.48) and who were PLHIV (AOR:0.68) had significantly lower odds of reporting a negative impact of the pandemic on their daily lives. We concluded the study findings may reflect a complex relationship between financial insecurity, food insecurity, poor quality of life, mental health, and socioeconomic status of adults living in Nigeria during the COVID-19 pandemic.
