Background: Comorbidities attract enormous attention amid the coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic. Mapping knowledge based on these clinical conditions is increasingly important since the pandemic is still raging and primarily affecting subjects with chronic diseases and comorbidities. Clinical presentation and complications of COVID-19 are still hot topics which are explored in numerous evidence-based publications. The aim of this study was to analyze Scopus-indexed COVID-19 papers covering comorbidities. Methods: Searches through the Scopus database were performed on September 19, 2022 using the following keywords: “Diabetes mellitus” OR “Cardiovascular Diseases” OR “Rheumatic Diseases” OR “Obesity” OR “Malignancies” AND “COVID-19.” All retrieved articles were analyzed using the following categories: document type, authorship, keywords, journal, citation score, country of origin, and language. Using the software tool VOSviewer version 1.6.18, we visualized the network of authors and keywords co-occurrence of the most prevalent comorbidities reported in connection with COVID-19. Results Reports on COVID-19 and diabetes mellitus (DM) were most frequently published (n = 12,282). The US was the most productive country (n = 3,005) in the field of COVID-19 and comorbidities. There were 1,314 documents on COVID-19 and rheumatic diseases which is the least number in comparison with other comorbidities (COVID-19 and DM: 12,282, COVID-19 and cardiovascular disease: 9,911, COVID-19 and obesity: 7,070, and COVID-19 and malignancies: 1,758).

Prior to the coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic, Central Asia and Eastern Europe saw a significant rise in international medical student enrollment, driven by competitive tuition fees, prestigious institutions, and culturally diverse environments. The pandemic forced a rapid shift to online learning, disrupting student mobility and compromising clinical training quality. Online education for international medical students during the COVID-19 pandemic has proven beneficial, though low- and middle-income countries struggled with access to information infrastructure and resources. While 64% of students preferred online learning, challenges like limited internet access and lack of in-person interaction persisted, making a blended approach of online and traditional methods most effective. Despite a rebound in post-pandemic enrollment, persistent challenges such as linguistic obstacles, psychological stress, and cultural adaptation issues remain. Active research engagement during undergraduate studies is essential for skill development. Integrating research into education curricula and fostering motivation are crucial for enhancing academic outcomes.Critical thinking and cultural competence are vital, necessitating explicit instruction and collaborative learning strategies. Addressing language barriers through comprehensive support systems for both instructors and students is imperative. Tailored strategies and robust institutional support are essential to enhancing the educational experiences and success of international medical students.
