Post-COVID-19 Conditions Among Children 90 Days After SARS-CoV-2 Infection.

ABSTRACT:

Importance

Little is known about the risk factors for, and the risk of, developing post-COVID-19 conditions (PCCs) among children.

Objectives

To estimate the proportion of SARS-CoV-2-positive children with PCCs 90 days after a positive test result, to compare this proportion with SARS-CoV-2-negative children, and to assess factors associated with PCCs.

Design, setting, and participants

This prospective cohort study, conducted in 36 emergency departments (EDs) in 8 countries between March 7, 2020, and January 20, 2021, included 1884 SARS-CoV-2-positive children who completed 90-day follow-up; 1686 of these children were frequency matched by hospitalization status, country, and recruitment date with 1701 SARS-CoV-2-negative controls.
