Infection with SARS-CoV-2 among children with asthma: evidence from Global Asthma Network

Chen-Yuan Chiang et al.

Summary: This study found that among children with asthma, some developed COVID-19 with most cases being mild and fewer cases being severe or critical. Patients who used inhaled bronchodilators were more likely to experience exacerbation of asthma during COVID-19, while those who used inhaled corticosteroids did not show significant differences in symptoms, disease severity, asthma exacerbation, and hospitalization compared to non-users.

Imaging of children with COVID-19: experience from a tertiary children's hospital in the United States

David M. Biko et al.

Summary: Most pediatric patients with COVID-19 did not require hospital admission or imaging in the study. Children with imaging had comorbidities, but those with MIS-C were more likely to have none. Chest radiography was the most common examination, with majority showing no abnormalities. Advanced imaging (US, CT, MRI) was less common, particularly for children without MIS-C.

Dyspnoea, lung function and CT findings 3 months after hospital admission for COVID-19

Tori Vigeland Lerum et al.

Summary: The long-term pulmonary outcomes of COVID-19 after 3 months of hospital admission include chest CT opacities and reduced diffusing capacity in one-fourth of the participants. ICU patients did not show significant differences in dyspnoea scores and lung function, but had a higher prevalence of abnormal chest CT findings.

Damaged lung gas exchange function of discharged COVID-19 patients detected by hyperpolarized 129Xe MRI

Haidong Li et al.

Summary: The recovery process of COVID-19 patients remains unclear, with some experiencing ongoing respiratory issues. Xe-129 MRI analysis reveals higher ventilation defects and longer gas-blood exchange time in COVID-19 patients, indicating lung function impairment during recovery.

Childhood asthma outcomes during the COVID-19 pandemic: Findings from the PeARL multinational cohort

Nikolaos G. Papadopoulos et al.

Summary: During the first wave of the COVID-19 pandemic, childhood asthma outcomes improved, with fewer acute episodes, improved asthma control, and better lung function. Children with asthma did not have an increased risk of lower respiratory tract infections, febrile episodes, emergency visits, or hospitalizations during the pandemic compared to non-asthmatic controls, but there was an increased risk of upper respiratory tract infections. The findings suggest that environmental control and improved treatment adherence may have contributed to the improved outcomes in children with asthma during the pandemic.

Risk Factors for Severe COVID-19 in Children

Kelly Graff et al.

Summary: This study found that extremes of age, comorbid conditions, and elevated CRP are predictors of severe COVID-19 disease in children. These findings can help pediatric providers and public health officials tailor clinical management and resource allocation strategies more effectively.

Pierachille Santus et al.

Summary: This study on COVID-19 pneumonia patients found that functional abnormalities, including a restrictive ventilatory pattern, were present during the acute phase, while gas exchange parameters normalized at follow up, with some patients still having DLco values below 80% predicted.

Epidemiological, Clinical, and Laboratory Features of Children With COVID-19 in Turkey

Adem Karbuz et al.

Summary: This study aimed to identify the epidemiological, clinical, and laboratory features of pediatric COVID-19 cases in Turkey. A total of 1,156 confirmed cases were included in the study, with the most common symptoms being fever and cough. Children of all ages appear to be susceptible to COVID-19, with significant differences in symptomatology and laboratory findings by age group.

Evaluation of the Clinical and Laboratory Findings of Asthmatic Children with SARS-CoV-2 Infection

Azize Pinar Metbulut et al.

Summary: There are limited studies on the clinical findings of coronavirus infection in pediatric patients with asthma. This retrospective case-control study compared asthma diagnosed children with healthy children diagnosed with COVID-19. The study found that pediatric patients with asthma had milder clinical symptoms and asthma may not affect the course of COVID-19 in children.

Post-discharge critical COVID-19 lung function related to severity of radiologic lung involvement at admission

Laurent Truffaut et al.

Summary: 55% of critical COVID-19 patients still have lung function impairment three months after ICU discharge. Data on lung function, exercise capacity, radiologic findings, and quality of life suggest that this impairment is associated with radiologic lung involvement at admission.
