„Investigating the association between SARS-CoV-2 infection, COVID-19 vaccination, and autoimmune diseases in a pediatric population: a comprehensive analysis“

COVID-Impfstoffe erhöhen das Risiko für Autoimmunerkrankungen bei Kindern um 23 %. Bereits eine einzige COVID-Impfung war mit einem signifikant erhöhten Risiko für Autoimmunerkrankungen assoziiert (HR 1,2323; p = 0,0033). COVID-19-Infektionen hingegen erhöhten das Risiko nicht signifikant (HR 1,092; p = 0,491)

„Conclusion:
Our findings suggest that the overall incidence of new-onset autoimmune diseases in children remained relatively stable during the COVID-19 pandemic. The study indicates a potential association between COVID-19 vaccination and an increased risk of developing autoimmune diseases, necessitating further research to elucidate long-term effects in the pediatric population.„
