RESUMEN
Background and Objective: Anxiety influences job burnout and health. This study aimed to establish a nomogram to predict the anxiety status of medical staff during the coronavirus disease (COVID-19) pandemic. Methods: A total of 600 medical members were randomized 7:3 and divided into training and validation sets. The data was collected using a questionnaire. Logistic regression analysis and Akaike information criterion (AIC) were applied to investigate the risk factors for anxiety. Odds ratio (OR) and 95% confidence interval (95% CI) were calculated to establish a nomogram. Results: Participation time (OR=44.28, 95% CI=13.13~149.32), rest time (OR=38.50, 95% CI=10.43~142.19), epidemic prevention area (OR=10.16, 95% CI=3.51~29.40), epidemic prevention equipment (OR=15.24, 95% CI=5.73~40.55), family support (OR=9.63, 95% CI=3.55~26.11), colleague infection (OR=6.25, 95% CI=2.18~19.11), and gender (OR=3.30, 95% CI=1.15~9.47) were the independent risk factors (P<0.05) for anxiety in medical staff. The areas under the receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curves of the training and validation sets were 0.987 and 0.946, respectively. The decision curve's net benefit shows the nomogram's clinical utility. Conclusion: The nomogram established in this study exhibited an excellent ability to predict anxiety status with sufficient discriminatory power and calibration. Our findings provide a protocol for predicting and identifying anxiety status in medical staff during the COVID-19 pandemic.
RESUMEN
COVID-19 has spread rapidly worldwide since its outbreak and has now become a major public health problem. More and more evidence indicates that SARS-CoV-2 may not only affect the respiratory system but also cause great harm to the central nervous system. Therefore, it is extremely important to explore in-depth the impact of SARS-CoV-2 infection on the nervous system. In this paper, the possible mechanisms of SARS-CoV-2 invading the central nervous system during COVID-19, and the neurological complications caused by SARS-CoV-2 infection were reviewed.
