    Results from LimitationRecognizer: We detected the following sentences addressing limitations in the study:
    This analysis also has limitations. First, population structure may have changed due to housing insecurity, work disruption, and general adaptation during more than a year of social distancing in response to COVID-19 pandemic. Second, there was missing data in confirmed cases, especially about race, hospitalizations, and deaths. Third, we modeled the whole US population without differentiating regionally for vaccine coverage, household composition, and COVID-19 case activity. Fourth, our transmission probability parameter from the clinical trial does not incorporate increased infectiousness due to the delta variant, which is still being characterized in the household setting.29 Fifth, SARS-CoV-2 viral evolution causes challenges in the forecasting the future PEP benefit, as new SARS-CoV-2 variants may reduce mAb PEP efficacy. Some variants have already demonstrated resistance to neutralization by monoclonal antibodies, though early preclinical and human studies indicate protection by imdev/casi against the SARS-CoV-2 variants of concern including the delta variant.15 Finally, we assume that unvaccinated individuals are susceptible to SARS-CoV-2 infection without accounting for partial immunity from prior SARS-CoV-2 infection.

    About SciScore

    SciScore is an automated tool that is designed to assist expert reviewers by finding and presenting formulaic information scattered throughout a paper in a standard, easy to digest format. SciScore checks for the presence and correctness of RRIDs (research resource identifiers), and for rigor criteria such as sex and investigator blinding. For details on the theoretical underpinning of rigor criteria and the tools shown here, including references cited, please follow this link.
