Review Meta Analysis
Characteristics, risk factors, and outcomes associated with readmission in COVID-19 patients: A systematic review and meta-analysis.
We aimed to determine the characteristics, risk factors, and outcomes associated with readmission in COVID-19 patients. ⋯ Male sex, white race, comorbidities, and older age were associated with a higher risk of readmission among previously admitted COVID-19 patients. These factors can help clinicians and policy-makers predict, and conceivably reduce the risk of readmission in COVID-19 patients.

Meta Analysis
Adverse events during intrahospital transport of critically ill patients: A systematic review and meta-analysis.
Intrahospital transport of critically ill patients is often necessary for diagnostic procedures, therapeutic procedures, or admission to the intensive care unit. The aim of this study was to investigate and describe safety and adverse events during intrahospital transport of critically ill patients. ⋯ Our findings suggest that adverse events can occur during intrahospital transport of critically ill patients, and that the frequency of critical adverse events is relatively low. The results of this meta-analysis could assist in risk-benefit analysis of diagnostic or therapeutic procedures requiring intrahospital transport of critically ill patients.
