Number of meta-analyses: 2

Number of registries: 1

Project Description:

Ágoston is a newly-graduated medical student and his main research field is pediatric COVID-19. He is working on a systematic review and meta-analysis investigating the prevalence of asymptomatic COVID-19 in different pediatric age groups. Children are likely to have a higher proportion of asymptomatic infection than adults, therefore he aims to create proposals and recommendations for protective measures in children regarding COVID-19. His second study is about the effectiveness and safety of TNF-alpha inhibitors in COVID-19 therapy. His meta-analysis may improve COVID-19 survival. His last project is a registry analysis about the characterization of COVID-19 in Hungarian children. He intends to analyze 507 prospectively collected COVID-19 patients’ data. The registry ensures the opportunity to research the epidemiology, diagnosis, treatment, complication, and genetic background of SARS-CoV-2 disease.
