Infants <2 months accounted for 19% of admissions—which may reflect a general practice standard to admit and evaluate neonates with fever or other symptoms that could indicate a serious bacterial infection rather than disease severity—because most neonates have mild self-resolving infections with brief admissions.17 Children age 12-17 years accounted for 42% of admissions, which may reflect more severe illness in adolescents.4 It appears that children who become severely ill with acute covid-19 often have one or more underlying conditions, including medical complexity, obesity, asthma, sickle cell disease, and immunosuppression.418 Reassuringly, the mortality rate in paediatric patients remains low, accounting for <1% of all deaths associated with SARS-CoV-2 in the US.11819 The risk factors for severe illness in children will likely be further clarified by ongoing research.
