Background: Sickle cell disease (SCD) predisposes children to bacterial infections, particularly invasive pneumococcal disease. Pneumococcal immunization associated with antibiotic prophylaxis reduced the incidence of invasive pneumococcal disease in these patients. However, the risk remains higher than in the general population.

Introduction: This systematic literature review and pairwise meta-analysis evaluated the comparative effectiveness of mRNA-1273 versus BNT162b2 in patients with at least one underlying medical condition at high risk for severe COVID-19.
Methods: MEDLINE, Embase, and Cochrane databases were searched for relevant articles from January 1, 2019 to February 9, 2024. Studies reporting effectiveness data from at least two doses of mRNA-1273 and BNT162b2 vaccination in adults with medical conditions at high risk of developing severe COVID-19 according to the US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention were included.

Seroprevalence studies play an important role in estimating the number of children infected with SARS-CoV-2. We report SARS-CoV-2 seroprevalence in children seeking medical care for any reason at a free-standing pediatric hospital in Seattle, WA over a 2.5-year period and four distinct pandemic waves.

The objective was to estimate the cost-effectiveness of nirmatrelvir/ritonavir (NMV/r) in treating adults with COVID-19 at high-risk of developing severe COVID-19 who do not require supplemental oxygen, compared to no treatment, from the Spanish National Health System (NHS) perspective. A decision-tree for the first year followed by a two-state Markov model with annual cycles for a lifetime horizon was developed. A cohort of 1000 high-risk, symptomatic COVID-19 patients entered the decision-tree for each comparator, divided into hospitalized patients, considering their level of care, and outpatients, for whom only symptom duration was considered.
