Despite worldwide spread of severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus-2, few publications have reported the potential for severe disease in the pediatric population. We report 177 infected children and young adults, including 44 hospitalized and 9 critically ill patients, with a comparison of patient characteristics between infected hospitalized and nonhospitalized cohorts, as well as critically ill and noncritically ill cohorts. Children <1 year and adolescents and young adults >15 years of age were over-represented among hospitalized patients (P = .07). Adolescents and young adults were over-represented among the critically ill cohort (P = .02).
尽管严重急性呼吸综合征冠状病毒 2 在全球范围内传播,但很少有出版物报道儿科人群中可能出现严重疾病。我们报告了 177 名感染的儿童和青少年,包括 44 名住院患者和 9 名重症患者,比较了感染住院患者和非住院患者队列以及重症和非重症患者队列之间的患者特征。住院患者中<1 岁和青少年及青年成年人>15 岁的比例较高(P=0.07)。青少年及青年成年人在重症患者中比例较高(P=0.02)。
