Normative Laboratory Value Ranges in Pediatric Patients Who Underwent Evaluation for MIS-C.

ABSTRACT:

Background and objectives

Diagnosis of multisystem inflammatory syndrome in children (MIS-C) is challenging due to symptom overlap with other common conditions. The primary objective of this multicenter study was to establish normative laboratory values in MIS-C patients and compare to patients evaluated for MIS-C who had other final diagnoses.

Methods

Five hospitals reviewed records of a cohort of patients 6 months to 18 years old who were evaluated for MIS-C between March 31^st 2020 and February 1^st 2022. Patient demographics, clinical presentation, and laboratory values were compared in patients with a final diagnosis of MIS-C versus all other conditions. Patients' final diagnoses and laboratory values for each diagnosis were reported.
