A cohort study of COVID-19 infection in pediatric oncology patients plus the utility and safety of remdesivir treatment
et al., Acta Oncologica, doi:10.1080/0284186X.2023.2169079, Jan 2023
Retrospective 18 immunocompromised pediatric COVID-19 patients in Singapore, showing slower viral clearance with remdesivir, without statistical significance.
Gérard, Zhou, Wu, Kamo, Choi, Kim show increased risk of acute kidney injury, Leo, Briciu, Muntean, Petrov show increased risk of liver injury, and Negru, Cheng, Mohammed show increased risk of cardiac disorders with remdesivir.
