Alarming pediatric hospital admissions linked to COVID-19 in England SARSCoV2 HospitalAdmissions Children Adolescents PublicHealth Research COVID bmj_latest
By Pooja Toshniwal PahariaJul 9 2023Reviewed by Benedette Cuffari, M.Sc. In a recent study published in The BMJ, researchers describe hospital admissions associated with severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 infection in pediatric patients.
Between September 2021 and April 2022, the Office for National Statistics reported the highest rates of COVID-19 among children and adolescents, with an increase in pediatric hospitalizations reported during the second COVID-19 wave as compared to the first wave. Nervertheless, the health implications of COVID-19-related hospitalizations remain unclear.
The National Health Service England research settings accessed through the British Heart Foundation COVID-IMPACT/ CVD-COVID-UK consortium were used to form a linked group that comprised various datasets.
Study findings A total of 3,226,535 pediatric patients had initial SARS-CoV-2 infections during the study period, 0.9% of whom required hospitalization. The median duration of hospitalization was two days, with 6% of COVID-19-related hospitalizations requiring admission to critical care units and 4.3% hospitalized due to multisystem inflammatory syndrome in children who did not receive critical care.
The percentage of pediatric patients with severe infection decreased during SARS-CoV-2 Omicron VOC dominance to 0.9% from 2% during Wuhan-Hu-1 and Alpha dominance and 0.7% during Delta dominance. Importantly, a reduced rate of MIS-C diagnoses contributed to this decline.
