Article Synopsis
- Multisystem inflammatory syndrome in children (MIS-C) related to COVID-19 shows varied severity, with a lower mortality rate in wealthier countries, highlighting differences in outcomes across regions.
- In a study of 1,239 children across 16 Latin American countries, the majority were previously healthy, but nearly half required admission to the pediatric intensive care unit (PICU), where they experienced more severe symptoms like myocardial dysfunction.
- Key risk factors for PICU admission included being over six years old, experiencing shock or seizures, having low platelet counts, elevated inflammatory markers, and abnormalities on chest X-rays, with an overall mortality rate of 4.8%, which is notably higher than in high-income countries.
