- Hemodialysis (HD) is a crucial treatment for patients with end-stage renal disease (ESRD), but it carries risks of blood-borne infections, particularly hepatitis B virus (HBV).

- The findings highlight a significant issue with HBV infections in HD patients globally, suggesting the need for enhanced vaccination strategies as these individuals often struggle to develop adequate immunity.
We compared clinical symptoms, laboratory findings, radiographic signs and outcomes of COVID-19 and influenza to identify unique features. Depending on the heterogeneity test, we used either random or fixed-effect models to analyse the appropriateness of the pooled results. Overall, 540 articles included in this study; 75,164 cases of COVID-19 (157 studies), 113,818 influenza type A (251 studies) and 9266 influenza type B patients (47 studies) were included.
