Comorbidities associated with hospitalization and progression among adolescents with symptomatic coronavirus disease 2019.
This study’s objective was to identify subgroups likely to benefit from monoclonal antibody and antiviral therapy to treat COVID-19 by evaluating the relationship between comorbidities and hospitalization among US adolescents aged 12-17 with symptomatic coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19). The authors used the Pediatric COVID-19 US registry to identify patients who met their inclusion criteria of comorbidities including obesity, chronic kidney disease (CKD), diabetes, immunosuppressive disease or treatment, sickle cell disease (SCD), heart disease, neurologic disease/neurodevelopmental disorders, and pulmonary disease (excluding patients with mild asthma). Out of 1877 total patients included 284 (15%) were hospitalized within 28 days of their COVID-19 diagnosis. The following comorbidities were associated with increased odds of hospitalization: SCD, immunocompromising condition, obesity, diabetes, neurologic disease, and pulmonary disease (excluding mild asthma).
