Software and Algorithms Sentences Resources 13 Statistical Analyses: Analyses were performed using SPSS Version 26. SPSSsuggested: (SPSS, RRID:SCR_002865)Results from OddPub: We did not detect open data. We also did not detect open code. Researchers are encouraged to share open data when possible (see Nature blog).
Results from LimitationRecognizer: We detected the following sentences addressing limitations in the study:There are several caveats to our work. Some cases of COVID-19 could have been captured in patients originally hospitalized for reasons other than the infection. We did not capture COVID-19 infections treated outside hospital settings; rather, our outcome was people with the infection of sufficient severity to warrant in-patient care. PAF reflects the prevalence of the risk factor in the population and the strength of its association with the outcome being considered; the core assumption is that the risk factor has a causal link to the outcome. As our results are based on observational data rather than an intervention, the present PAF-findings may overestimate of the proportion of COVID-19 hospitalisation that could be been prevented by lifestyle change. In conclusion, these data suggest that adopting simple lifestyle changes could lower the risk of severe COVID-19 infection.
Results from TrialIdentifier: No clinical trial numbers were referenced.
Results from Barzooka: We did not find any issues relating to the usage of bar graphs.
