Delighted to present our paper in #BMJ today.

Detailed prospective study of 651 #children admitted with #SARSCoV2 across 138 UK hospitals

Here are some of the key findings:

bmj.com/content/370/bm… 1. Severe disease was rare in children and death was extremely rare.

- Children under 19 made up less than 1% of all patients admited with #SARSCoV2 (651 / 69516 patients of all ages)

- Extremely low in-hospital mortality rate (<1% in children vs 27% in adults)
