This study aims to know the effectiveness of booster vaccines to reduce the severity of illness, confirm infection, hospitalization, death in humans infected with COVID-19. For Specific purpose, to analyze the severity of COVID-19 disease in humans by booster and without booster. The design of this study was a systematic review and meta-analysis based on observational studies, published in databases such as Pubmed, Embase, MedRxiv, Nature and Scopus. In the search for articles, the limitations of 2021 to 2022 are used. This research was analyzed quantitatively through the Review Manager 5.4.1 program. Study was taken from 13 journals that met the criteria for a meta-analysis. With the population aged over 18 years, and using the type of vaccine BNT162b2 or mRNA. The population of this study came from Israel, Italy, England, Qatar, Brazil, Turkey, Puerto-Rico, Northern Bangkok, Vicinities and Thailand. Significant results were obtained for each outcome. The OR values of BNT162b2 booster vaccine against confirmed infection OR 0.16 (95% CI 0.06 – 0.45), against symptomatic disease 0.22 (95% CI 0.11 – 0.44), against asymptomatic disease OR 0.72 (95% CI 0.69 – 0.74), against hospitalization OR 0.12 (95% CI 0.06 – 0.22), against severe disease OR 0.15 (95% CI 0.07 – 0.33), and against death OR 0.10 (95% CI 0.04 – 0.31). Administration booster vaccines is effective in reducing infection rates, disease severity, and deaths from COVID-19.

Abstract

Background: The ketogenic diet (KD) has long been prescribed to children with recurrent epilepsy due to its minimal neurotoxic effects. The side effects caused this diet to be abandoned. New diets are emerging as options such as modified Atkins diet (MAD), low glycemic index therapy (LGIT) and medium-chain triglyceride (MCT). This study compared the safety and effectiveness of the KD and these new methods. Method: Systematic review was conducted by searching databases such as PubMed, ScienceDirect, SpringerOpen, Cochrane, Proquest and Scopus based on the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta Analyses (PRISMA) guidelines. Result: : A total of 439 pediatric patients aged 0 - 18 years who were intervened with a ketogenic diet compared with other dietary options. A total of five studies reported a higher mean reduction in seizure incidence >90% in children who were intervened with a ketogenic diet compared to other diets, one of which reported KD > MAD (53.3% KD vs. 26.6% MAD). Conclusion: Although KD remains effective, MAD, LGIT, MCT and Polyunsaturated Fatty Acids KD (PUFAKD) diets provide comparable benefits with potential for better adherence. The classic KD group showed a higher morbidity rate; however, it demonstrated significant effectiveness in lowering the incidence of recurrent seizures in children.
