Meta Analysis
Association of acute kidney injury with the severity and mortality of SARS-CoV-2 infection: A meta-analysis.
we aimed to explore the relationship of acute kidney injury (AKI) with the severity and mortality of coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19). ⋯ AKI is closely related with severity and mortality of COVID-19, which gives awareness for doctors to pay more attention for risk screening, early identification and timely treatment of AKI.

Meta Analysis
The analgesic effect of ketorolac addition for renal colic pain: A meta-analysis of randomized controlled studies.
The effect of ketorolac addition for the pain control of renal colic remains controversial. We conduct a systematic review and meta-analysis to explore the analgesic efficacy of ketorolac addition for renal colic. ⋯ Ketorolac addition may improve the analgesic efficacy for renal colic pain.

Review Meta Analysis
Body mass index and all-cause mortality in patients with cardiogenic shock: A systematic review and meta-analysis.
The association between body mass index (BMI) and all-cause mortality of patients with Cardiogenic Shock (CS) is still controversial. The objective of this analysis is to summarize the available evidence of this association and perform meta-analysis using adjusted estimates. ⋯ Obesity was associated with increased adjusted all-cause mortality of patients with Cardiogenic Shock when compared to non-obese. Unexplained heterogeneity and suboptimal quality of studies limit the strength of the results. This seemingly paradoxical finding needs to be confirmed with further research.

Most children are treated at general Emergency Departments (EDs) and not specialized pediatric EDs. Therefore, it is crucial for emergency medicine physicians to be aware of recent developments in pediatric emergency medicine. ⋯ We selected ten studies that we found impactful, robust, and relevant for practicing general emergency physicians. This review includes studies of status epilepticus, cardiac arrest, asthma, infant fever, wound care, rapid sequence intubation, coronavirus, and trauma.
