ABSTRACT
We estimated risks of severe outcomes in 820,404 symptomatic paediatric COVID-19 cases reported by 10 European Union countries between August 2020 and October 2021. Case and hospitalisation rates rose as transmission increased but severe outcomes were rare 9,611 (1.2%) were hospitalised, 640 (0.08%) required intensive care and 84 (0.01%) died. Despite increased individual risk (adjusted odds ratio hospitalisation 7.3; 95% confidence interval 3.3-16.2; intensive care 8.7; 6.2-12.3) in cases with comorbidities, most (83.7%) hospitalised children had no comorbidity.
