Community socioeconomic deprivation and SARS-CoV-2 infection risk: findings from Portugal.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Socioeconomic differences have been observed in the risk of acquiring infectious diseases, but evidence regarding SARS-CoV-2 remains sparse. Hence, this study aimed to investigate the association between SARS-CoV-2 infection risk and socioeconomic deprivation, exploring whether this association varied according to different phases of the national pandemic response.

Methods

A cross-sectional study was conducted. Data routinely collected for patients with a laboratorial result recorded in SINAVE®, between 2 March and 14 June 2020, were analysed. Socioeconomic deprivation was assessed using quintiles of the European Deprivation Index (Q1-least deprived to Q5-most deprived). Response phases were defined as before, during and after the national State of Emergency. Associations were estimated using multilevel analyses.

Results

The study included 223 333 individuals (14.7% were SARS-CoV-2 positive cases). SARS-CoV-2 infection prevalence ratio increased with deprivation [PR(Q1)=Ref; PR(Q2)=1.37 (95% CI 1.19-1.58), PR(Q3)=1.48 (95% CI 1.26-1.73), PR(Q4)=1.73 (95% CI 1.47-2.04), PR(Q5)=2.24 (95% CI 1.83-2.75)]. This was observed during the State of Emergency [PR(Q5)=2.09 (95% CI 1.67-2.62)] and more pronounced after the State of Emergency [PR(Q5)= 3.43 (95% CI 2.66-4.44)].

Conclusion

The effect of socioeconomic deprivation in the SARS-CoV-2 infection risk emerged after the implementation of the first State of Emergency in Portugal, and became more pronounced as social distancing policies eased. Decision-makers should consider these results when deliberating future mitigation measures.

Control of complement-induced inflammatory responses to SARS-CoV-2 infection by anti-SARS-CoV-2 antibodies

Project description:Dysregulated immune responses contribute to the excessive and uncontrolled inflammation observed in severe COVID-19. However, how immunity to SARS-CoV-2 is induced and regulated remains unclear. Here we uncover a role of the complement system in the induction of innate and adaptive immunity to SARS-CoV-2. Complement rapidly opsonizes SARS-CoV-2 particles via the lectin pathway. Complement-opsonized SARS-CoV-2 efficiently induces type-I interferon and pro-inflammatory cytokine responses via activation of dendritic cells, which are inhibited by antibodies against the complement receptors (CR) 3 and 4. Serum from COVID-19 patients, or monoclonal antibodies against SARS-CoV-2, attenuate innate and adaptive immunity induced by complement-opsonized SARS-CoV-2. Blocking of CD32, the FcγRII antibody receptor of dendritic cells, restores complement-induced immunity. These results suggest that opsonization of SARS-CoV-2 by complement is involved in the induction of innate and adaptive immunity to SARS-CoV-2 in the acute phase of infection. Subsequent antibody responses limit inflammation and restore immune homeostasis. These findings suggest that dysregulation of the complement system and FcγRII signaling may contribute to severe COVID-19.

Risk Groups for SARS-CoV-2 Infection among Healthcare Workers: Community Versus Hospital Transmission.

Project description:BackgroundWe aimed to detect the risk factors for SARS-CoV-2 infection among healthcare workers (HCWs) in 2020 before the vaccination era.MethodsWe surveyed SARS-CoV-2 infection among the HCWs in a hospital through screening for antibody levels and the detection of viral RNA by RT-PCR between May 2020 and December 2020. Occupational and non-occupational potential predictors of disease were surveyed for the HCWs included in this study.ResultsAmong 1925 personnel in the hospital, 1732 were included to the study with a response rate of 90%. The overall infection rate of HCWs was 16.3% at the end of 2020, before vaccinations started. In the multivariate analysis, being janitorial staff (OR: 2.24, CI: 1.21-4.14, p = 0.011), being a medical secretary (OR: 4.17, CI: 2.12-8.18, p < 0.001), having at least one household member with a COVID-19 diagnosis (OR: 8.98, CI: 6.64-12.15, p < 0.001), and number of household members > 3 (OR: 1.67, CI: 1.26-2.22, p < 0.001) were found to be significantly associated with SARS-CoV-2 infection.ConclusionsMedical secretaries and janitorial staff were under increased risk of SARS-CoV-2 infection. The community-hospital gradient can explain the mode of transmission for infection among HCWs. In the setting of this study, community measures were less strict, whereas hospital infection control was adequate and provided necessary personal protective equipment. Increasing risk in larger households and households with diagnosed COVID-19 patient indicates the community-acquired transmission of the infection.

Community Socioeconomic Deprivation and Nonalcoholic Fatty Liver Disease Severity.

Project description:Background and objectivesNonalcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) is linked to obesity. Obesity is associated with lower socioeconomic status (SES). An independent link between pediatric NAFLD and SES has not been elucidated. The objective of this study was to evaluate the distribution of socioeconomic deprivation, measured using an area-level proxy, in pediatric patients with known NAFLD and to determine whether deprivation is associated with liver disease severity.MethodsRetrospective study of patients <21 years with NAFLD, followed from 2009 to 2018. The patients' addresses were mapped to census tracts, which were then linked to the community deprivation index (CDI; range 0--1, higher values indicating higher deprivation, calculated from six SES-related variables available publicly in US Census databases).ResultsTwo cohorts were evaluated; 1 with MRI (magnetic resonance imaging) and/or MRE (magnetic resonance elastography) findings indicative of NAFLD (n = 334), and another with biopsy-confirmed NAFLD (n = 245). In the MRI and histology cohorts, the majority were boys (66%), non-Hispanic (77%-78%), severely obese (79%-80%), and publicly insured (55%-56%, respectively). The median CDI for both groups was 0.36 (range 0.15-0.85). In both cohorts, patients living above the median CDI were more likely to be younger at initial presentation, time of MRI, and time of liver biopsy. MRI-measured fat fraction and liver stiffness, as well as histologic characteristics were not different between the high- and low-deprivation groups.ConclusionsChildren with NAFLD were found across the spectrum of deprivation. Although children from more deprived neighborhoods present at a younger age, they exhibit the same degree of NAFLD severity as their peers from less deprived areas.

Opposing activities of IFITM proteins in SARS-CoV-2 infection

Project description:Interferon-induced transmembrane proteins (IFITMs) restrict infections by many viruses, but a subset of IFITMs enhance infections by specific coronaviruses through currently unknown mechanisms. We show that SARS-CoV-2 Spike-pseudotyped virus and genuine SARS-CoV-2 infections are generally restricted by human and mouse IFITM1, IFITM2, and IFITM3, using gain- and loss-of-function approaches. Mechanistically, SARS-CoV-2 restriction occurred independently of IFITM3 S-palmitoylation, indicating a restrictive capacity distinct from reported inhibition of other viruses. In contrast, the IFITM3 amphipathic helix and its amphipathic properties were required for virus restriction. Mutation of residues within the IFITM3 endocytosis-promoting Yxx? motif converted human IFITM3 into an enhancer of SARS-CoV-2 infection, and cell-to-cell fusion assays confirmed the ability of endocytic mutants to enhance Spike-mediated fusion with the plasma membrane. Overexpression of TMPRSS2, which increases plasma membrane fusion versus endosome fusion of SARS-CoV-2, attenuated IFITM3 restriction and converted amphipathic helix mutants into infection enhancers. In sum, we uncover new pro- and anti-viral mechanisms of IFITM3, with clear distinctions drawn between enhancement of viral infection at the plasma membrane and amphipathicity-based mechanisms used for endosomal SARS-CoV-2 restriction.
