ABSTRACT
The COVID-19 pandemic has brought about significant changes in the global health and medical environment. In order to prevent viral transmission, governments implemented strong social distancing, even lockdowns. The closure of schools has reduced physical activity among children and adolescents. Children, especially those with chronic diseases, are often reluctant to visit or even give up visiting hospitals, resulting in delayed diagnosis or missing the right timing for treatment. New guidelines are needed for the management of patients with endocrine diseases such as diabetes or thyroid disease, as well as children with chronic diseases who need regular clinical monitoring. Therefore, it is necessary to analyze the previous research on pediatric endocrinology reported during COVID-19, guide the direction for future research, and establish guidelines to care for pediatric patients with endocrine diseases in the post-pandemic era.
