ABSTRACT
Background:
It has been suggested that children and infants can develop multisystem inflammatory syndrome in children (MIS-C) in response to a SARS-CoV-2 infection and that Black children are overrepresented among cases. The aim of the current study was to quantify the association between Black, Asian, or other non-White genetic background and COVID-19-related MIS-C in children and infants.Methods:
Eight different research groups contributed cases of MIS-C, potentially related to SARS-CoV-2 infection. Several sensitivity analyses were performed, including additional data available from the literature. Analyses were stratified by geographical region.Results:
Seventy-three cases from nine distinct geographical regions were included in the primary analyses. In comparison to White children, the relative risk for developing MIS-C after SARS-CoV-2 infection was 15 [95% confidence interval (CI) 7.1 to 32] for Black children, 11 (CI 2.2 to 57) for Asian, and 1.6 (CI 0.58 to 4.2) for other ethnic background.Conclusion:
Pediatricians should be aware of the fact that the risk of COVID-19-related MIS-C is severely increased in Black children.
