(
BMJ Publishing Group
, 2020 , Article)
© Authors 2020 Objective To define the epidemiological curve of COVID-19 in Qatar and determine factors associated with severe or critical illness. Design Case series of first 5685 COVID-19 cases in Qatar. Setting and ...
BNT162b2 antigen dose and SARS-CoV-2 omicron infection in adolescents
(
Elsevier
, 2023 , Other)
COVID-19 vaccine antigen dose might affect protection against SARS-CoV-2 infection,1, 2 but direct evidence to quantify this effect is absent. We conducted a matched, retrospective, cohort study using a regression ...
Effectiveness of the neutralizing antibody sotrovimab among high-risk patients with mild-to-moderate SARS-CoV-2 in Qatar
(
Elsevier
, 2022 , Article)
ObjectivesTo estimate the real-world effectiveness of sotrovimab against severe, critical, or fatal COVID-19 in Qatar at a time in which most SARS-CoV-2 incidences occurred due to the BA.2 Omicron subvariant. MethodsWe ...
All-cause and COVID-19 mortality in Qatar during the COVID-19 pandemic
(
BMJ Publishing Group
, 2023 , Article)
Objective To investigate all-cause mortality, COVID-19 mortality and all-cause non-COVID-19 mortality in Qatar during the COVID-19 pandemic. Methods A national, retrospective cohort analysis and national, matched, retrospective ...
Duration of mRNA vaccine protection against SARS-CoV-2 Omicron BA.1 and BA.2 subvariants in Qatar.
(
Nature Research
, 2022 , Article)
SARS-CoV-2 Omicron BA.1 and BA.2 subvariants are genetically divergent. We conducted a matched, test-negative, case-control study to estimate duration of protection of the second and third/booster doses of mRNA COVID-19 ...
Association of Prior SARS-CoV-2 Infection With Risk of Breakthrough Infection Following mRNA Vaccination in Qatar.
(
American Medical Association
, 2021 , Article)
The effect of prior SARS-CoV-2 infection on vaccine protection remains poorly understood. To assess protection from SARS-CoV-2 breakthrough infection after mRNA vaccination among persons with vs without prior SARS-CoV-2 ...
Effectiveness of two and three doses of COVID-19 mRNA vaccines against infection, symptoms, and severity in the pre-omicron era: A time-dependent gradient
(
Elsevier
, 2024 , Article)
BackgroundVaccines were developed and deployed to combat severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) infection. This study aimed to characterize patterns in the protection provided by the BNT162b2 and ...
Effect of mRNA Vaccine Boosters against SARS-CoV-2 Omicron Infection in Qatar.
(
Massachusetts Medical Society
, 2022 , Article)
Waning of vaccine protection against coronavirus disease 2019 (Covid-19) and the emergence of the omicron (or B.1.1.529) variant of the severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) have led to expedited ...
Protection of Omicron sub-lineage infection against reinfection with another Omicron sub-lineage
(
Nature Research
, 2022 , Article)
There is significant genetic distance between SARS-CoV-2 Omicron (B.1.1.529) variant BA.1 and BA.2 sub-lineages. This study investigates immune protection of infection with one sub-lineage against reinfection with the other ...
Epidemiological impact of prioritising SARS-CoV-2 vaccination by antibody status: Mathematical modelling analyses
(
BMJ Publishing Group
, 2021 , Article)
Background Vaccines against SARS-CoV-2 have been developed, but their availability falls far short of global needs. This study aimed to investigate the impact of prioritising available doses on the basis of recipient ...
