 A CRITICAL APPRAISAL ON THE ARTICLE

      '' Clinical outcomes in vaccinated individuals hospitalized with Delta variant of SARS-CoV-2 ''


OBJECTIVES:

TO IDENTIFY THE TYPE OF STUDY AND TO WRITE A CRITICAL APPRAISAL BY USING THE HARVARD STYLE CITATION AS A GUIDE FROM THE CRITICAL APPRAISAL SKILLS PROGRAM

[Microsoft Word - CASP Cohort Study Checklist 2018_DRAFT.docx (b-cdn.net)]

To start with let us first discuss what is a cohort study

A COHORT STUDY :

The word cohort means a group of people. These types of studies look at groups of people. They can be forward-looking (prospective) or backward-looking (retrospective).

Prospective” studies are planned in advance and carried out over a future period of time.

Retrospective cohort studies look at data that already exist and try to identify risk factors for particular conditions. Interpretations are limited because the researchers cannot go back and gather missing data.

APPRAISAL:

Research and Clinical study are the most fundamental requirements for any health related matters. They form the basis of Science itself as we consider proof to be essential for accepting any statement.

Therefore we constantly strive to establish proofs for the continuation of medicine both as a means of education and diagnosis

This paper is a critical appraisal on the Paper written as

'' Clinical outcomes in vaccinated individuals hospitalized with Delta variant of SARS-CoV-2 ''

and will deal with the steps used , sample size, data collection, ethical concerns and data analysis. It will also deal with the limitations of the above paper

This paper is a retrospective study. The title informs us of the entire objective for this study and is precise.

Abstract:

The principal purpose of an abstract is to provide a introduction and a basis of understanding the paper by giving a background by

a] Telling the reason for the study

The abstract contains the proper background about the emerging variants of SARS-COV-2 , the cohort chosen the 1161 hospitalized patients.

b] Giving a concise input on the entire study

the abstract contains all the ratios along with all the characters included in the study

c] Summerize the result

the result is also summerized properly 

Overall the abstract is clearly and precisely written excluding un necessary information

Leukemia cells also don't die when they should. This allows them to build up in the bone marrow, crowding out normal cells. At some point, leukemia cells leave the bone marrow and spill into the bloodstream. This increases the number of white blood cells in the blood. Once in the blood, leukemia cells can spread to other organs, where they can prevent other cells in the body from functioning normally. Leukemia is different from other types of cancer that start in organs like the lungs, colon, or breast and then spread to the bone marrow. Cancers that start elsewhere and then spread to the bone marrow are not leukemia. What is a chronic leukemia? I
