Item Health Impairments in Children and Adolescents After Hospitalization for Acute COVID-19 or MIS-C(American Academy of Pediatrics, 2022) Maddux, Aline B.; Berbert, Laura; Young, Cameron C.; Feldstein, Leora R.; Zambrano, Laura D.; Kucukak, Suden; Newhams, Margaret M.; Miller, Kristen; FitzGerald, Madyson M.; He, Jie; Halasa, Natasha B.; Cvijanovich, Natalie Z.; Loftis, Laura L.; Walker, Tracie C.; Schwartz, Stephanie P.; Gertz, Shira J.; Tarquinio, Keiko M.; Fitzgerald, Julie C.; Kong, Michele; Schuster, Jennifer E.; Mack, Elizabeth H.; Hobbs, Charlotte V.; Rowan, Courtney M.; Staat, Mary A.; Zinter, Matt S.; Irby, Katherine; Crandall, Hillary; Flori, Heidi; Cullimore, Melissa L.; Nofziger, Ryan A.; Shein, Steven L.; Glas Gaspers, Mary; Hume, Janet R.; Levy, Emily R.; Chen, Sabrina R.; Patel, Manish M.; Tenforde, Mark W.; Weller, Edie; Campbell, Angela P.; Randolph, Adrienne G.; Overcoming COVID-19 Investigators; Pediatrics, School of MedicineObjectives: To evaluate risk factors for postdischarge sequelae in children and adolescents hospitalized for acute coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) or multisystem inflammatory syndrome in children (MIS-C). Methods: Multicenter prospective cohort study conducted in 25 United States pediatric hospitals. Patients <21-years-old, hospitalized May 2020 to May 2021 for acute COVID-19 or MIS-C with follow-up 2 to 4 months after admission. We assessed readmissions, persistent symptoms or activity impairment, and new morbidities. Multivariable regression was used to calculate adjusted risk ratios (aRR) and 95% confidence intervals (CI). Results: Of 358 eligible patients, 2 to 4 month survey data were available for 119 of 155 (76.8%) with acute COVID-19 and 160 of 203 (78.8%) with MIS-C. Thirteen (11%) patients with acute COVID-19 and 12 (8%) with MIS-C had a readmission. Thirty-two (26.9%) patients with acute COVID-19 had persistent symptoms (22.7%) or activity impairment (14.3%) and 48 (30.0%) with MIS-C had persistent symptoms (20.0%) or activity impairment (21.3%). For patients with acute COVID-19, persistent symptoms (aRR, 1.29 [95% CI, 1.04-1.59]) and activity impairment (aRR, 1.37 [95% CI, 1.06-1.78]) were associated with more organ systems involved. Patients with MIS-C and pre-existing respiratory conditions more frequently had persistent symptoms (aRR, 3.09 [95% CI, 1.55-6.14]) and those with obesity more frequently had activity impairment (aRR, 2.52 [95% CI, 1.35-4.69]). New morbidities were infrequent (9% COVID-19, 1% MIS-C). Conclusions: Over 1 in 4 children hospitalized with acute COVID-19 or MIS-C experienced persistent symptoms or activity impairment for at least 2 months. Patients with MIS-C and respiratory conditions or obesity are at higher risk of prolonged recovery.Item Investigating Health Disparities Associated With Multisystem Inflammatory Syndrome in Children After SARS-CoV-2 Infection(Wolters Kluwer, 2022) Zambrano, Laura D.; Ly, Kathleen N.; Link-Gelles, Ruth; Newhams, Margaret M.; Akande, Manzilat; Wu, Michael J.; Feldstein, Leora R.; Tarquinio, Keiko M.; Sahni, Leila C.; Riggs, Becky J.; Singh, Aalok R.; Fitzgerald, Julie C.; Schuster, Jennifer E.; Giuliano, John S., Jr.; Englund, Janet A.; Hume, Janet R.; Hall, Mark W.; Osborne, Christina M.; Doymaz, Sule; Rowan, Courtney M.; Babbitt, Christopher J.; Clouser, Katharine N.; Horwitz, Steven M.; Chou, Janet; Patel, Manish M.; Hobbs, Charlotte; Randolph, Adrienne G.; Campbell, Angela P.; Overcoming COVID-19 Investigators; Pediatrics, School of MedicineBackground: Multisystem inflammatory syndrome in children (MIS-C) is a postinfectious severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2)-related complication that has disproportionately affected racial/ethnic minority children. We conducted a pilot study to investigate risk factors for MIS-C aiming to understand MIS-C disparities. Methods: This case-control study included MIS-C cases and SARS-CoV-2-positive outpatient controls less than 18 years old frequency-matched 4:1 to cases by age group and site. Patients hospitalized with MIS-C were admitted between March 16 and October 2, 2020, across 17 pediatric hospitals. We evaluated race, ethnicity, social vulnerability index (SVI), insurance status, weight-for-age and underlying medical conditions as risk factors using mixed effects multivariable logistic regression. Results: We compared 241 MIS-C cases with 817 outpatient SARS-CoV-2-positive at-risk controls. Cases and controls had similar sex, age and U.S. census region distribution. MIS-C patients were more frequently previously healthy, non-Hispanic Black, residing in higher SVI areas, and in the 95th percentile or higher for weight-for-age. In the multivariable analysis, the likelihood of MIS-C was higher among non-Hispanic Black children [adjusted odds ratio (aOR): 2.07; 95% CI: 1.23-3.48]. Additionally, SVI in the 2nd and 3rd tertiles (aOR: 1.88; 95% CI: 1.18-2.97 and aOR: 2.03; 95% CI: 1.19-3.47, respectively) were independent factors along with being previously healthy (aOR: 1.64; 95% CI: 1.18-2.28). Conclusions: In this study, non-Hispanic Black children were more likely to develop MIS-C after adjustment for sociodemographic factors, underlying medical conditions, and weight-for-age. Investigation of the potential contribution of immunologic, environmental, and other factors is warranted.Item Risk factors for health impairments in children after hospitalization for acute COVID-19 or MIS-C(Frontiers Media, 2023-10-18) Maddux, Aline B.; Young, Cameron C.; Kucukak, Suden; Zambrano, Laura D.; Newhams, Margaret M.; Rollins, Caitlin K.; Halasa, Natasha B.; Gertz, Shira J.; Mack, Elizabeth H.; Schwartz, Stephanie; Kong, Michele; Loftis, Laura L.; Irby, Katherine; Rowan, Courtney M.; Tarquinio, Keiko M.; Zinter, Matt S.; Crandall, Hillary; Cvijanovich, Natalie Z.; Schuster, Jennifer E.; Fitzgerald, Julie C.; Staat, Mary A.; Hobbs, Charlotte V.; Nofziger, Ryan A.; Shein, Steven; Flori, Heidi; Cullimore, Melissa L.; Chatani, Brandon M.; Levy, Emily R.; Typpo, Katri V.; Hume, Janet R.; Campbell, Angela P.; Randolph, Adrienne G.; Overcoming COVID-19 Investigators; Pediatrics, School of MedicineObjective: To identify risk factors for persistent impairments after pediatric hospitalization for acute coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) or multisystem inflammatory syndrome in children (MIS-C) during the SARS-CoV-2 pandemic. Methods: Across 25 U.S. Overcoming COVID-19 Network hospitals, we conducted a prospective cohort study of patients <21-years-old hospitalized for acute COVID-19 or MIS-C (May 2020 to March 2022) surveyed 2- to 4-months post-admission. Multivariable regression was used to calculate adjusted risk ratios (aRR) and 95% confidence intervals (CI). Results: Of 232 children with acute COVID-19, 71 (30.6%) had persistent symptoms and 50 (21.6%) had activity impairments at follow-up; for MIS-C (n = 241), 56 (23.2%) had persistent symptoms and 58 (24.1%) had activity impairments. In adjusted analyses of patients with acute COVID-19, receipt of mechanical ventilation was associated with persistent symptoms [aRR 1.83 (95% CI: 1.07, 3.13)] whereas obesity [aRR 2.18 (95% CI: 1.05, 4.51)] and greater organ system involvement [aRR 1.35 (95% CI: 1.13, 1.61)] were associated with activity impairment. For patients with MIS-C, having a pre-existing respiratory condition was associated with persistent symptoms [aRR 3.04 (95% CI: 1.70, 5.41)] whereas obesity [aRR 1.86 (95% CI: 1.09, 3.15)] and greater organ system involvement [aRR 1.26 (1.00, 1.58)] were associated with activity impairments. Discussion: Among patients hospitalized, nearly one in three hospitalized with acute COVID-19 and one in four hospitalized with MIS-C had persistent impairments for ≥2 months post-hospitalization. Persistent impairments were associated with more severe illness and underlying health conditions, identifying populations to target for follow-up.Item Risk Factors for Multisystem Inflammatory Syndrome in Children: A Case-Control Investigation(Wolters Kluwer, 2023) Zambrano, Laura D.; Wu, Michael J.; Martin, Lora; Malloch, Lacy; Chen, Sabrina; Newhams, Margaret M.; Kucukak, Suden; Son, Mary Beth; Sanders, Cameron; Patterson, Kayla; Halasa, Natasha; Fitzgerald, Julie C.; Leroue, Matthew K.; Hall, Mark; Irby, Katherine; Rowan, Courtney M.; Wellnitz, Kari; Sahni, Leila C.; Loftis, Laura; Bradford, Tamara T.; Staat, Mary; Babbitt, Christopher; Carroll, Christopher L.; Pannaraj, Pia S.; Kong, Michele; Schuster, Jennifer E.; Chou, Janet; Patel, Manish M.; Randolph, Adrienne G.; Campbell, Angela P.; Hobbs, Charlotte V.; Overcoming COVID-19 investigators; Pediatrics, School of MedicineBackground: In a 2020 pilot case-control study using medical records, we reported that non-Hispanic Black children were more likely to develop multisystem inflammatory syndrome in children (MIS-C) after adjustment for sociodemographic factors and underlying medical conditions. Using structured interviews, we investigated patient, household, and community factors underlying MIS-C likelihood. Methods: MIS-C case patients hospitalized in 2021 across 14 US pediatric hospitals were matched by age and site to outpatient controls testing positive for severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) within 3 months of the admission date. Caregiver interviews queried race/ethnicity, medical history, and household and potential community exposures 1 month before MIS-C hospitalization (case-patients) or after SARS-CoV-2 infection (controls). We calculated adjusted odds ratios (aOR) using mixed-effects multivariable logistic regression. Results: Among 275 case patients and 496 controls, race/ethnicity, social vulnerability and patient or family history of autoimmune/rheumatologic disease were not associated with MIS-C. In previously healthy children, MIS-C was associated with a history of hospitalization for an infection [aOR: 4.8; 95% confidence interval (CI): 2.1-11.0]. Household crowding (aOR: 1.7; 95% CI: 1.2-2.6), large event attendance (aOR: 1.7; 95% CI: 1.3-2.1), school attendance with limited masking (aOR: 2.6; 95% CI: 1.1-6.6), public transit use (aOR: 1.8; 95% CI: 1.4-2.4) and co-resident testing positive for SARS-CoV-2 (aOR: 2.2; 95% CI: 1.3-3.7) were associated with increased MIS-C likelihood, with risk increasing with the number of these factors. Conclusions: From caregiver interviews, we clarify household and community exposures associated with MIS-C; however, we did not confirm prior associations between sociodemographic factors and MIS-C.
