Kavanagh KT, Cormier LE. Re: Long covid
outcomes at one year after mild SARS-CoV-2 infection: nationwide cohort
study. Another way of stating the results is that in very young
unvaccinated adults (median age 25 years) who have mild disease, if one
has cognitive impairment during the acute illness, this symptom will
probably persist (81% of the time), if one has dyspnea or weakness, well
over a third will have persistent symptoms, if one has heart
palpitations about a third will have persistence of this symptom. BMJ.

Kavanagh KT, Kraman SS. Comment Regarding: Prevalence, Underlying
Causes, and Preventability of Sepsis-Associated Mortality in US Acute
Care Hospitals
JAMAOpenNetwork: "But when medicine makes the leap from a death caused
deliberately to one caused by a preventable error we all too often use
the patient’s terminal condition to negate or ignore the occurrence. I
feel many would question the logic behind this philosophy and that
almost all would realize this is not how one achieves a high-performance
delivery system which is patient centered."
