Abstract

fetched live from OpenAlex

Background: Acute stress disorder (ASD) among people ever infected with COVID-19 is prevalent and may lead to posttraumatic stress disorder. Soon after China relaxed their COVID-19 control measures in November 2022 or December 2022, the infection rate surged rapidly, creating huge uncertainty and stressful situations. Little is known about situations regarding ASD at the ending phase of the pandemic. Objective: The study aimed to investigate the potential of personal cognitive or emotional factors and environmental factors of ASD. Methods: A cross-sectional study was conducted among 5545 people ever infected with COVID-19 aged 18-60 years from December 27, 2022, to January 9, 2023, living in 7 cities of China. The 5-item Chinese version of the Primary Care PTSD Screen was used to assess ASD. Multiple logistic regression analyses were performed to identify factors of ASD. Results: The prevalence of ASD was 21.2% (1174/5545). Adjusted for the background variables, significant personal risk factors (COVID-19 infection severity, cognitions including perceived high reinfection risk and perceived weak acquired natural immunity, and emotions including worry about the long-term physical harms and panic about infection of older or younger family members), and significant environmental risk factors (difficulties in getting information and medical supplies, having unvaccinated older or younger family members, and having significant others with severe COVID-19 symptoms) were identified. Conclusions: The prevalence of ASD among people ever infected with COVID-19 was noticeable. It is warranted to identify those at high risk of developing ASD and provide them with care and early interventions to prevent deterioration. Such programs may consider targeting the modifiable risk factors found in this study.

Not calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. The Gemma side is a direct model label for every work in the frame, read from the title-only record. The Codex side is a classifier learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and calibrated to design-weighted sample rates; fields without enough sample support carry no Codex call. Candidate is the union of the two sides; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels.

Machine scores (provisional)

The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.

Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
