Neurological and Psychological Sequelae Associated With Multisystem Inflammatory Syndrome in Children.

ABSTRACT:

Importance

Acute neurological involvement occurs in some patients with multisystem inflammatory syndrome in children (MIS-C), but few data report neurological and psychological sequelae, and no investigations include direct assessments of cognitive function 6 to 12 months after discharge.

Objective

To characterize neurological, psychological, and quality of life sequelae after MIS-C.

Design, setting, and participants

This cross-sectional cohort study was conducted in the US and Canada. Participants included children with MIS-C diagnosed from November 2020 through November 2021, 6 to 12 months after hospital discharge, and their sibling or community controls, when available. Data analysis was performed from August 2022 to May 2023.

Exposure

Diagnosis of MIS-C.
