Introduction: Even though France was severely hit by the COVID-19 pandemic, few studies have addressed the dynamics of the first wave on an exhaustive, nationwide basis. We aimed to describe the geographic and temporal distribution of COVID-19 hospitalisations and in-hospital mortality in France during the first epidemic wave, from January to June 2020.
Methods: This retrospective cohort study used the French national database for all acute care hospital admissions (PMSI).
Article Synopsis
- * Of the 7,485 pediatric COVID-19 cases studied, 26.6% (1,988 patients) were admitted to critical care units, with younger age, pediatric multisystem inflammatory syndrome (PIMS), respiratory issues, and underlying conditions being significant risk factors.
- * The rate of critical care admissions decreased over the pandemic waves, with a total of 32 deaths (0.4%) and a median age of 6 years among those who died, highlighting specific age groups, especially newborn
Objective: To explore mortality risk factors for patients hospitalised with COVID-19 in a critical care unit (CCU) or a hospital care unit (HCU).
Design: Retrospective cohort analysis using the French national () database.
Setting: Any public or private hospital in France.
