This study aimed to reduce unnecessary ED resource utilization.

Background: Although respiratory symptoms are the most prominent manifestations of coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19), severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2), and especially the omicron variant, may cause neurological manifestations such as seizures. It remains unclear if specific variants of the virus increase the risk of seizures more than others.
Material And Methods: This was a retrospective multicenter study of pediatric (zero to 16 years) patients with COVID-19 who attended five pediatric emergency departments in Madrid, Spain, between March 2020 and July 2022.
