❗️12-AUG-2021 UPDATE❗️ 1/7

Latest data from NCHS reveal disturbing racial/ethnic disparities in #COVID19 mortality among kids and young adults.

We've tried to be more phone-friendly, but still best viewed on a larger screen. Expanded dashboard:
covkidproject.org/disparities
❗️12-AUG-2021 UPDATE❗️ 2/7

Of 353 reported deaths, 28% were white, & 72% were non-white, mostly Hispanic & Black children.

Caveat: NCHS death counts are << CDC-Atlanta counts due to different data sources & reporting lags. #epitwitter
More info:
covkidproject.org/deaths Image
❗️12-AUG-2021 UPDATE❗️ 3/7

#COVID19 death rate disparities for kids 0-17 are very high. Rate ratios (95% CI) with whites as the referent:

Indigenous RR = 6.2 (2.5-15.7)
Black RR = 3.0 (2.2-4.0)
Hispanic RR = 2.6 (2.0-3.3)
Asian RR = 1.5 (0.9-2.6) Image

The COVKID team has a new research study out today in @AMJPublicHealth, as part of a special issue called "When Dying Really Counts:"

Out-of-Hospital COVID-19 Deaths: Consequences for Quality of Medical Care and Accuracy of Cause of Death Coding

1/16
ajph.aphapublications.org/doi/abs/10.210…
We found that 🇺🇸children (younger than 18 years) were most likely (30.5%) and elders aged 64 to 74 years were least likely (10.4%) to die out of hospital or in the emergency department from #COVID19.

ajph.aphapublications.org/doi/abs/10.210…
Why does dying from #COVID19 in the ED matter? Isn't that technically "in the hospital?"

No, it's not. Patients who die in the ED were critically ill before they arrived. They accessed medical care too late!

Some thoughts on possible reasons at the end of this thread.

♦️ 26-July-21 Update ♦️ 1/10

#COVID19 in 🇺🇸 kids has surpassed 5 million cases.

Long thread explaining why our case counts are higher (& more accurate!) than counts reported by @AmerAcadPeds

Also: latest rising trends in incidence & hospitalizations
covkidproject.org Image
♦️ 26-July-21 Update ♦️ 2/10

The @AmerAcadPeds puts out a weekly #COVID19 report on kids that draws on the exact same state health department dashboards as we do.

BUT - we include estimates of missing data from TX and NY, and AAP does not.

#epitwitter
♦️ 26-July-21 Update ♦️ 3/10

Both TX & NY (state) do NOT report cumulative case counts of #COVID19 for kids on their dashboards!

That's 2 of the 4 largest states w/ MISSING DATA.

NYC does report (thanks @nycHealthy !) but they cover only 1/2 the state's pop.

💔MILESTONE REACHED💔
1/11

Intensive care admissions for kids with #COVID19 have surpassed 1,000 in the USA (n=1,011).

This is an UNDERCOUNT; not all PICUs report their data.

67% of these kids are Hispanic or Black.

💔MILESTONE REACHED💔
2/11

When our team published a research paper on critical illness in children with #COVID19 in April 2020, there had been 74 kids admitted to PICU in the USA.

That seemed like a lot to us back then.

Here are time trends in #COVID19 PICU admissions for the 3 largest states. Keep in mind these are UNDERCOUNTS. #Florida #Texas #California
