Objective: The study aimed to describe the characteristics and risk factors associated with disease severity across six waves of COVID-19 in the pediatric population in Mexico.
Methods: A cohort study was conducted using data from the Mexican Ministry of Health, covering the period from March 2020 to March 2023. The dataset included patients under 18 years of age with confirmed SARS-CoV-2 infection.
Background: Severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus-2 (SARS-CoV-2) mainly affects the respiratory tract, but different organs may be involved including the kidney. Data on acute kidney injury (AKI) in critical forms of coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) are scarce. We aimed to assess the incidence, risk factors and prognostic impact of AKI complicating critical forms of COVID-19.

Purpose: The COVID-19 pandemic had a severe influence on the entire health sector. Until today, the effect of a SARS-CoV-2 infection on older patients with a proximal humeral fracture (PHF) is unknown. This study examined the following questions: Did the incidence of PHF of older people in Germany vary during the pandemic? Did the treatment change between the lockdown and non-lockdown periods? Was a SARS-CoV-2 infection associated with a worse outcome?
Methods: Retrospective claims data of the BARMER health insurance were analysed.
