Results for Characteristics and Outcomes of Children With Coronavirus Disease 2019 (COVID-19) Infection Admitted to US and Canadian Pediatric Intensive Care Units
"Of the 48 children with COVID-19 admitted to participating PICUs, 25 (52%) were male, and the median (range) age was 13 (4.2-16.6) years. Of the 46 hospitals in this convenience sample, 40 were located in the US and 6 in Canada. Of these, 30 pediatric hospitals had not admitted any critically ill patients with confirmed COVID-19 infection during the study period, including all of the 6 Canadian hospitals. 14 hospitals, all in the US, admitted a total of 58 patients to the PICU with confirmed COVID-19 infection between March 14 and April 3, 2020. The number of critically ill patients admitted to individual PICUs in this sample ranged from 1 to 17, with a median of 3 admissions per unit. The age range of patients admitted was between 26 days and 45 years. A total of 48 of 58 patients (83%) were children 21 years or younger. Ten patients were adults older than 21 years and were admitted to 3 of the participating PICUs: 2 admitted 1 adult each, and 1 admitted 8 adults. The pediatric data will be presented in this review."
