We conducted a systematic literature review of general population testing, contact tracing, case isolation and contact quarantine interventions to assess their effectiveness in reducing SARS-CoV-2 transmission, as implemented in real-world settings
Clinical trials demonstrated that SARS-CoV-2 vaccines reduce COVID-19-related mortality and morbidity. We describe the effect of vaccination on COVID-19-patients admitted at our hospital. Retrospective, single-center study conducted in Genoa, Italy
COVID-19 pneumonia causes acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS). Prone positioning (PP) is beneficial to pulmonary physiology and improves oxygenation in patients with ARDS. We aimed to investigate the effect of the PP on oxygenation
