- - Chemotherapy-induced mucositis can significantly harm pediatric cancer patients by causing oral inflammation, leading to financial strains, reduced quality of life, and potentially lower survival rates; effective oral care is essential to manage these symptoms.
- - A systematic review analyzed studies from 2014 to 2023 that explored oral care interventions for mucositis in children, employing rigorous appraisal methods to ensure the quality of the findings.
- - Eight studies indicated that interventions like tooth brushing and use of natural products (honey, olive oil, Aloe Vera) may alleviate mucositis symptoms, but the overall improvement in children's quality of life was not significant, while some products (Caphosol) showed no benefits.

We assessed the association between vaccination status (full, partial, or none) and in-hospital mortality among COVID-19 patients at most hospitals in Jakarta, Indonesia during the Delta predomination wave.
Methods: We conducted a retrospective cohort study among hospitalized COVID-19 patients who met the study criteria (>18 years old and admitted for inpatient treatment because of laboratory-confirmed severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 infection).
