Article Synopsis
- Vaccines have significantly reduced COVID-19 hospitalizations among adolescents in Turkey, evidenced by a decline in hospitalizations during the vaccination period compared to pre-vaccination.
- The study revealed that while there were more total hospitalizations during the vaccination period, the proportion of vaccinated adolescents requiring hospitalization was lower, reflecting the effectiveness of the vaccine.
- Additionally, breakthrough infections in vaccinated adolescents were generally milder and less severe compared to infections in unvaccinated peers, with many being asymptomatic.
Objective: This study aimed to evaluate the cardiovascular manifestations and surveillance of multisystem inflammatory syndrome in children (MIS-C) and to determine the correlation of echocardiographic findings with cardiac magnetic resonance imaging findings.
Methods: Forty-four children diagnosed as MIS-C with cardiac involvement were enrolled in this observational descriptive study. The diagnosis of MIS-C was made according to the criteria of Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.
