New Research—First Europe-wide study of 582 children & adolescents confirms #COVID19 predominately causes mild disease and fatalities are very rare (4 deaths, <1%).

thelancet.com/journals/lanch…
This #ptbnet study primarily captured data from children & adolescents who were seen or managed within the hospital setting, and so the study population is likely to primarily represent individuals at the more severe end of the disease spectrum of #COVID19
In this cohort of n=582, 48 (8%) required #pedsICU admission, 25 (4%) mechanical ventilation (median duration 7 days, IQR 2–11), 19 (3%) inotropic support, and one (<1%) #ECMO.
Age <1 month, male sex, presence of #LRTI signs or symptoms at presentation, and presence of a pre-existing medical condition were associated with increased likelihood of requiring #pedsICU admission
