Journal ArticleDOI
Real-world effectiveness of early molnupiravir or nirmatrelvir–ritonavir in hospitalised patients with COVID-19 without supplemental oxygen requirement on admission during Hong Kong's omicron BA.2 wave: a retrospective cohort study
Carlos Kh Wong,Ivantsou Au,Kristy T K Lau,Eric H. Y. Lau,Benjamin J. Cowling,Gabriel M. Leung +5 more
TL;DR: A lower risk of all-cause mortality was observed in molnupiravir recipients and in nirmatrelvir–ritonavIR recipients, and time to achieving a low viral burden was significantly shorter among oral antiviral recipients than matched controls.
Journal ArticleDOI
Real-world effectiveness of molnupiravir and nirmatrelvir plus ritonavir against mortality, hospitalisation, and in-hospital outcomes among community-dwelling, ambulatory patients with confirmed SARS-CoV-2 infection during the omicron wave in Hong Kong: an observational study
Carlos Kh Wong,Ivantsou Au,Kristy T K Lau,Eric H. Y. Lau,Benjamin J. Cowling,Gabriel M. Leung +5 more
TL;DR: During Hong Kong's wave of SARS-CoV-2 omicron subvariant BA.2.1.2, among non-hospitalised patients with COVID-19, early initiation of novel oral antiviralals was associated with reduced risks of mortality and in-hospital disease progression.
Journal ArticleDOI
Impact of National Containment Measures on Decelerating the Increase in Daily New Cases of COVID-19 in 54 Countries and 4 Epicenters of the Pandemic: Comparative Observational Study.
Carlos K. H. Wong,Janet Yuen Ha Wong,Eric H. M. Tang,Chi Ho Au,Kristy T K Lau,Abraham Ka Chung Wai +5 more
TL;DR: Different national containment measures were associated with a decrease in daily new cases of confirmed COVID-19 infection, and stay-at-home orders, curfews, and lockdowns curbed the percent increase indaily new cases to <5 within a month.
Journal ArticleDOI
Safety of inactivated and mRNA COVID-19 vaccination among patients treated for hypothyroidism: a population-based cohort study.
XiaoMing Xiong,Carlos K. H. Wong,Ivantsou Au,Francisco T. T. Lai,Xia Li,Eric Yuk Fai Wan,Celine Sze Ling Chui,Esther W. Chan,F. Cheng,Kristy T K Lau,Chi-Ho Lee,Yu Cho Woo,David T W Lui,Ian C. K. Wong +13 more
TL;DR: BNT162b2 or CoronaVac vaccination is not associated with unstable thyroid status or an increased risk of adverse outcomes among patients treated for hypothyroidism in general, and reassuring data should encourage them to get vaccinated against COVID-19 for protection from potentially worse CO VID-19-related outcomes.

Real-world effectiveness of molnupiravir and nirmatrelvir/ritonavir among COVID-19 inpatients during Hong Kong's Omicron BA.2 wave: an observational study
TL;DR: Against Omicron BA.2, initiation of novel oral antiviral treatment in hospitalized patients not requiring any oxygen therapy was associated with lower risks of disease progression and all-cause mortality, in addition to achieving low viral load faster.
