This study investigated indicators of the severity and mortality of COVID-19 in children in Medan, Sumatera Utara Province, Indonesia. The aim of this study was to identify determinants of severity and outcome of children with COVID-19 as the lesson learned from the COVID-19 pandemic, particularly the limited health facilities in Indonesia. This retrospective cohort study was conducted in 2020, 2021, and 2022 at multiple centers.

- - The study aimed to create and test a predictive model that assesses the likelihood of children with COVID-19 developing severe or critical symptoms, using data from five pediatric hospitals in Asia.
- - Researchers analyzed registry data from 1,147 COVID-positive patients to identify factors like age, comorbidities, and symptoms that increase or decrease the risk of severe illness.
- - The model showed strong predictive ability, with high accuracy rates in both training and validation tests, indicating it could help estimate risk in hospitalized children, but further validation is needed for clinical application.
Article Synopsis
- This study investigates COVID-19 infection in children across Southeast and South Asia, focusing on identifying risk factors for severe disease through data from the Pediatric Acute and Critical Care COVID-19 Registry.
- The research includes 260 confirmed cases from eight hospitals in seven countries, revealing common symptoms like fever and cough, with about 40% of cases being asymptomatic and a low overall mortality rate of 2.3%.
- Key risk factors for severe or critical COVID-19 cases in children were found to be being under one year old, having underlying health issues, and presenting with a cough; further research is suggested to explore reasons behind variations in mortality across different regions.
There is wide variation in the overall clinical impact of novel coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) across countries worldwide. Changes adopted pertaining to the management of pediatric patients, in particular, the provision of respiratory support during the COVID-19 pandemic is poorly described in Asia. We performed a multicenter survey of 20 Asian pediatric hospitals to determine workflow changes adopted during the pandemic.
