CONCLUSIONS: This study demonstrates that evidence of symptoms, even when major, is a poor predictor for SARS-CoV-2 positivity in health care workers and raises the question of the best way to efficiently screen this population especially during the
We determined the seroprevalence of SARS-CoV-2 antibodies in NHS healthcare workers (HCWs) in a cross-sectional study from a large general hospital located in a double-sited rural and semi-rural area. The sample size of 3,119 HCWs (mean age 43±13)
CONCLUSIONS: These predictors may help direct intensity of monitoring for patients with suspected or confirmed COVID-19 who are being remotely monitored by primary or secondary care services. Further research is needed to confirm our findings and
CONCLUSIONS: Clade-independent, time-dependent changes are thought to have biological significance and should relate to viral adaptation to a new host environment, providing important clues for understanding viral host adaptation mechanisms.
CONCLUSIONS: Telemedicine in neurosurgery is a viable alternative to physical outpatient services during this pandemic and could potentially play a vital role in the post-pandemic phase as well.
