We read with great interest the article "Underrepresentation of older adults in clinical trials on COVID-19 vaccines: A systematic review" written by Nicola Veronese et al. This important work demonstrated that medications and vaccines commonly used in older adults have not been adequately evaluated. Concerning this systematic review, we shall like to mention some certain points deserved to be attended by the authors.
我们饶有兴趣地阅读了 Nicola Veronese 等人撰写的题为“COVID-19 疫苗临床试验中老年人代表性不足:系统评价”的文章。这项重要工作表明,老年人常用的药物和疫苗尚未得到充分评估。关于这项系统评价,我们想指出一些作者应该注意的要点。
