- The study examined how the severity and presentation of multisystem inflammatory syndrome in children (MIS-C) vary among different SARS-CoV-2 variants using a group of 59 patients aged 0-18 years diagnosed with COVID-19 and MIS-C over a year.
- Results showed that most patients were diagnosed during the Alpha (41%) and Delta (32%) periods, and respiratory symptoms were notably common in the Delta variant group.
- However, the study found no significant differences in overall symptoms, lab results, treatment, or long-term outcomes across the different variant groups.
Background and Objectives: The COVID-19 pandemic has led to significant changes globally, which has also affected patients with type 1 diabetes mellitus (T1DM). This study aimed to determine the incidence of T1DM and the characteristics of diabetic ketoacidosis (DKA) during the pandemic comparing it to pre-pandemic period. Materials and Methods: Data from patients <19 years with newly diagnosed T1DM between 1st January 2017 and 31st December 2021 from four regional centers in Vojvodina were retrospectively collected and analyzed.

New criteria for the diagnosis of AKI were introduced based on the increase in serum creatinine (SCr) levels and/or reduction of urine output (UOP). Yet, there is no generally accepted opinion so far, which criteria (whether SCr, UOP, or their combination) are the most appropriate to diagnose neonatal AKI.
