A Usability Survey of a Quality Improvement Data Visualization Tool Among Medical Intensive Care Unit Nurses

CONCLUSIONS: The Bundle Board demonstrated good usability among ICU Nurses, who provided substantive feedback for its improvement. These observations may be generalizable to other comparable interventions. Iterative feedback from end-users is vital to developing and implementing a digital health intervention. Our study provides a framework for performing a usability analysis within a specific clinician population and environment.

Distinct type 1 immune networks underlie the severity of restrictive lung disease after COVID-19

The variable origins of persistent breathlessness after coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) have hindered efforts to decipher the immunopathology of lung sequelae. Here we analyzed hundreds of cellular and molecular features in the context of discrete pulmonary phenotypes to define the systemic immune landscape of post-COVID lung disease. Cluster analysis of lung physiology measures highlighted two phenotypes of restrictive lung disease that differed according to their impaired diffusion and...

Prevalence and associations of insomnia after COVID-19 infection

CONCLUSIONS: Initial and persistent insomnia is common in long COVID. Treatment for insomnia with the use of evidence-based approaches (such as cognitive behavioral therapy for insomnia) may best suit this particular post-COVID symptom.

Early trajectories of virological and immunological biomarkers and clinical outcomes in patients admitted to hospital for COVID-19: an international, prospective cohort study

BACKGROUND: Serial measurement of virological and immunological biomarkers in patients admitted to hospital with COVID-19 can give valuable insight into the pathogenic roles of viral replication and immune dysregulation. We aimed to characterise biomarker trajectories and their associations with clinical outcomes.
