Department of Medicine and Geriatrics, Tuen Mun Hospital, Hong Kong

Hong Kong Medical Journal 2022;28:Epub 10 Jun 2022

• Clinical deterioration occurred in >50% of older patients (aged ≥65 years) with coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19).
• The median time to hypoxia was 8 days after symptom onset.
• Age and frailty each had a linear relationship with in-patient mortality.

Implications for clinical practice or policy

• Frail older patients had less favourable COVID-19 outcomes.
• Frailty screening should be performed universally in older adults with COVID-19 to enable early risk stratification, regardless of presenting symptoms.

Knowledge, attitudes, and behaviours of pregnant women towards COVID-19: a cross-sectional survey

Hong Kong Medical Journal 2022 Apr;28(2):124–32  |  Epub 14 Apr 2022

New knowledge added by this study

• This study investigated the knowledge, psychosocial behavioural responses, and opinions of pregnant women in Hong Kong towards coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19).
• A large majority of the women in this study expressed worry about COVID-19, despite a lack of comprehensive knowledge about the disease.
• More than 80% of the women agreed with universal screening for COVID-19 in pregnant women during visits to clinics and hospitals.

Implications for clinical practice or policy

• Universal screening should be incorporated as part of routine clinical management and in-patient care for pregnant women during the COVID-19 pandemic.
• Husbands should be allowed to accompany their wives during labour and delivery if a rapid screening method shows that the husbands do not have COVID-19.
• Online resources should be developed to enhance public knowledge about COVID-19-related complications in pregnancy.

The impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on infant and toddler development

Imboden, Annie DNP, APRN, CPNP-PC (Assistant Professor); Sobczak, Bernadette K. DNP, APN, CPNP-PC, PMHS (Clinical Assistant Professor); Griffin, Valerie DNP, PPCNP-BC, FNP-BC, PMHS, FAANP (Clinical Associate Professor)

Journal of the American Association of Nurse Practitioners: March 2022 - Volume 34 - Issue 3 - p 509-519

Implications: An increased focus on communication screening and promotion of language and communication skills in young children postpandemic is needed. Education about the importance of parent–child engagement, nurturing relationships, opportunities for free-play and exploration, and caregiver support and stress reduction will continue to be of paramount importance.
