Article Abstract

Objective: To explore the risk factors for peripheral neuropathy (PNP) and F-wave abnormality during one-year rehabilitation for coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19).

Methods: This prospective cohort study included patients with COVID-19 who were discharged from Shijiazhuang People's Hospital after treatment and routine rehabilitation between December 2020 and April 2021. Multivariable logistic regression analysis was used to analyze the independent risk factors for PNP and F-wave abnormality. -values <0.0125 were considered significant in the multivariable analyses to account for type I error.

Results: A total of 313 patients with COVID-19 [aged 49.0 (IQR 33.0-58.0) years, and 191 (61.0%) females] were included. During one-year follow-up, 232 (74%) patients developed PNP (PNP group), and 81 (26%) did not (non-PNP group). In the PNP group, 51 (16%) patients had mononeuropathy, and 181 (58%) had polyneuropathy. Additionally, F-wave abnormality was detected in 22 (7%) out of 313 patients. Multivariable logistic regression analysis showed that age [odds ratio (OR) = 1.22, confidence interval (CI): 1.05-1.41,  = 0.009] was independently associated with PNP. College or higher education (OR = 5.07, 95% CI: 1.80-13.90,  = 0.002) was independently associated with mononeuropathy.

Conclusion: Age might be an independent risk factor for PNP, while higher education was associated with mononeuropathy.

Importance: Higher intellectual abilities have been associated with lower mortality risk in several longitudinal cohort studies. However, these studies did not fully account for early life contextual factors or test whether the beneficial associations between higher neurocognitive functioning and mortality extend to children exposed to early adversity.

Objective: To explore how the associations of child neurocognition with mortality changed according to the patterns of adversity children experienced.

Background: Ovarian cancer remains the most lethal gynecological cancer, with fewer than 50% of patients surviving more than five years after diagnosis. This study aimed to analyze the global epidemiological trends of ovarian cancer from 1990 to 2021 and also project its prevalence to 2050, providing insights into these evolving patterns and helping health policymakers use healthcare resources more effectively.

Methods: This study comprehensively analyzes the original data related to ovarian cancer from the GBD 2021 database, employing a variety of methods including descriptive analysis, correlation analysis, age-period-cohort (APC) analysis, decomposition analysis, predictive analysis, frontier analysis, and health inequality analysis.
