Efficacy and safety of Paxlovid for COVID-19:a meta-analysis

We read with interest a recent article reported by Wang Y et al 1. The authors reported a case of COVID-19 rebound in a severe COVID-19 patient during long term (20 days) treatment of Paxlovid. Paxlovid is a recommended treatment for mild-moderate COVID-19 and risk factors for severe disease. With wide-spread use of Paxlovid, there have been case reports of individuals experiencing virologic rebound. Hence, meta-analysis of the efficiency and safety of Paxlovid in patients with COVID-19 is of great importance.
