Article Synopsis
  • Neurological issues are prevalent in children hospitalized with SARS-CoV-2-related multisystem inflammatory syndrome (MIS-C), potentially leading to lasting cognitive and functional problems.
  • This study investigates how severe neurological symptoms during hospitalization relate to new cognitive and functional impairments upon discharge among children under 18.
  • Over 3,500 patients were examined, revealing that those with severe neurological manifestations had a higher likelihood of experiencing new morbidities at discharge compared to those without such issues.

Introduction: Hospitalized children diagnosed with SARS-CoV-2-related conditions are at risk for new or persistent symptoms and functional impairments. Our objective was to analyze post-hospital symptoms, healthcare utilization, and outcomes of children previously hospitalized and diagnosed with acute SARS-CoV-2 infection or Multisystem Inflammatory Syndrome in Children (MIS-C).

Methods: Prospective, multicenter electronic survey of parents of children <18 years of age surviving hospitalization from 12 U.

Objectives: To characterize the prevalence of pediatric critical illness from multisystem inflammatory syndrome in children (MIS-C) and to assess the influence of severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) strain on outcomes.

Design: Retrospective cohort study.

Setting: Database evaluation using the Virtual Pediatric Systems Database.

Background: Our objective was to characterize the frequency, early impact, and risk factors for neurological manifestations in hospitalized children with acute severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) infection or multisystem inflammatory syndrome in children (MIS-C).

Methods: Multicenter, cross-sectional study of neurological manifestations in children aged <18 years hospitalized with positive SARS-CoV-2 test or clinical diagnosis of a SARS-CoV-2-related condition between January 2020 and April 2021. Multivariable logistic regression to identify risk factors for neurological manifestations was performed.

Background: Electrographic seizures are frequent and associated with worse outcomes following traumatic brain injury (TBI). Despite this, the use of continuous electroencephalogram (cEEG) remains low. Our study describes cEEG usage and treatment dosing antiseizure medications (ASMs) in an international pediatric TBI population, hypothesizing that children monitored with cEEG have an increased rate of treatment ASMs because of electrographic seizure detection, compared with children who are not monitored with cEEG.
