ABSTRACT

95 Figure 1[Figure omitted. See PDF] 95 Figure 2[Figure omitted. See PDF]ConclusionA large cohort of children were admitted with COVID-19, with a significant over-representation of BAME, neonates and children with multiple co-morbidities. Fever was the most common symptom. In regards to critical care requirements, over 11% of admissions required PICU input. Interestingly, in regards to PIMS-TS, those requiring intervention often had no co-morbidities and were likely to be normal at baseline. Long term follow up will be required for these patients to truly understand the effects both COVID-19 and PIMS-TS have had on the paediatric population.
