Limited data are available for pediatric patients with COVID-19, but this study found that the disease course in children appears milder than in adults, with supportive care as the primary treatment approach.
Introduction Limited data are available for pediatric patients with coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19), especially with regard to disease management strategies. Objective To assess the children with COVID-19. Method We conducted a retrospective review of the medical records of pediatric patients on March 11 and May 23, 2020. Results We evaluated 77 COVID-19 pediatric patients, of whom 45.5% were male, with a median age of 8 years (interquartile range [IQR] = 2-13), and 6.4% had underlying diseases. Patients were classified according to severity, with the percentages of asymptomatic, mild, moderate, and critical/severe cases determined to be 24.7%, 41.6%, 29.9%, and 3.9%, respectively. Extracorporeal membrane oxygenation and mechanic ventilation were only required for 1 patient. Targeted therapies were used in 3 patients. Conclusion The disease course of COVID-19 appears to be milder in children than in adults, and the treatment course primarily consists of supportive care.
