The Covid-19 containment effects of public health measures:A spatial difference-in-differences approach
2021
Abstract The paper studies the containment effects of public health measures to curb the spread of Covid‐19 during the first wave of the pandemic in spring 2020 in Germany. To identify the effects of six compound sets of public health measures, we employ a spatial difference‐in‐differences approach. We find that contact restrictions, mandatory wearing of face masks and closure of schools substantially contributed to flattening the infection curve. The significance of the impact of restaurant closure does not prove to be robust. No incremental effect is evidenced for closure of establishments and the shutdown of nonessential retail stores.

Zusammenfassung Hintergrund Der Prozess des Studieneinschlusses von Teilnehmenden ist ein wichtiger Bestandteil und oftmals aufwendiger Arbeitsschritt in wissenschaftlichen Forschungsprojekten. Aufgrund unterschiedlicher finanzieller, organisatorischer und ethischer Rahmenbedingungen stellt die fristgerechte Gewinnung von Teilnehmenden haufig eine Herausforderung dar. In diesem Beitrag berichten wir uber unsere Erfahrungen hinsichtlich des Studieneinschlusses, die wir im Projekt „Psychoonkologische Versorgung von Krebspatienten mit Migrationshintergrund – eine Mixed-Methods-Studie“ (POM) gemacht haben. Methode Die Gewinnung von Teilnehmenden erfolgte uber ambulante hamato-onkologische Schwe…

O-195 The impact of the COVID-19 outbreak on psychological distress due to the cancellation of ART. A systematic review and meta-analysis
2021
Abstract Study question Is there evidence that infertile patients have been more likely to experience distress during the COVID-19 outbreak with the consequent interruption of treatment plans? Summary answer High levels of psychological distress among infertile patients have been found during the COVID-19 pandemic, greater than that reported in the general population. What is known already Preliminary research on the negative consequences of the COVID-19 outbreak on mental health evidenced heightened levels of anxiety, depression and post-traumatic stress in some clinical populations as well as in community samples. However, little is known about the impact of COVID-19 on psychological dist…
Real-life evaluation of a rapid antigen test (Panbio™ COVID-19 Ag Rapid Test Device) for SARS-CoV-2 detection in asymptomatic close contacts of COVID…

ABSTRACTObjectivesThere is limited information on the performance of rapid antigen detection (RAD) tests to identify SARS-CoV-2-infected asymptomatic individuals. In this field study, we evaluated the Panbio™ COVID-19 Ag Rapid Test Device (Abbott Diagnostics, Jena, Germany) for the purpose.MethodsA total of 634 individuals (355 female; median age, 37 years; range, 9-87) were enrolled. Household (n=338) contacts were tested at a median of 2 days (range, 1-7) after diagnosis of the index case and non-household contacts (n=296) at a median of 6 days (range, 1-7) after exposure. RAD testing was carried out at the point of care. The RT-PCR test used was the TaqPath COVID-19 Combo Kit (Thermo Fis…
