Article Synopsis
- The study focuses on how comorbidities affect the risk of symptomatic SARS-CoV-2 infection and Pediatric Inflammatory Multisystemic Syndrome (PIMS) in children.
- Out of 375 pediatric patients analyzed, nearly 48% had comorbidities, with obesity being a significant risk factor for infection, while cancer patients were less likely to develop PIMS.
- The results suggest that underlying health conditions can change the likelihood of severe outcomes from COVID-19 in children.
