TL;DR: A SLR of no-shows in appointment scheduling is provided in which the characteristics of existing studies are analyzed, results regarding which factors have a higher impact on missed appointment rates are synthetized, and comparisons with previous findings are performed.

TL;DR: The results indicated that the reporting of confirmed cases in Brazil is much lower as compared to other countries the authors analyzed, and decision-makers, including the government, fail to know the actual dimension of the pandemic, which may interfere with the determination of control measures.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors evaluated the association of characteristics and respiratory support strategies with 60-day in-hospital mortality using random-effects multivariable Cox regression with inverse probability weighting and found that younger age, absence of frailty and the use of non-invasive respiratory support (NIRS) as first support strategy were independently associated with improved survival.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors investigated the association between sociodemographic characteristics and COVID-19 in-hospital mortality in Brazil, and found that black/Brown patients had higher in-Hospital mortality than white patients.

TL;DR: The results showed that the annual age-adjusted hospitalization and in-hospital mortality rates decreased by 11.8% and 12.6%, respectively, but the case fatality rate increased for patients older than 70 years.
