Article Synopsis
- The study examined the impact of prolonged school closures (lasting over 2 weeks) on pediatric respiratory hospitalizations during the COVID-19 pandemic at a single hospital.
- Researchers analyzed data from 1,243 pediatric patients over three winters (2019, 2020, 2021), focusing on total hospitalizations and specific respiratory diagnoses.
- Results showed that hospitalizations significantly decreased during school closures in 2020 compared to previous years, suggesting that school closures may have contributed to a reduction in respiratory illnesses among children.
