The systematic review and meta-analysis were conducted for COVID-19 infections in kidney transplant patients. Recent research on this topic was still scarce and limited meta-analysis research discussion, specific to some risks or treatment in kidney transplantation patients with COVID-19 infection. Therefore, this article demonstrated the fundamental steps to conducting systematic review and meta-analysis studies to derive a pooled estimate of predictor factors of worse outcomes in kidney transplant patients with positive for the SARS-CoV- 2 test • PICOT Framework to determine the research scope • PRISMA strategy for study selection • Forest Plot for meta-analysis study
