Copy Link
Published Online: Aug 19th 2022

Little is known about the outcomes of neurologic complications associated with COVID-19 in children. We spoke with Dr James Antoon (Department of Paediatrics, Monroe Carell Jr. Children’s Hospital at Vanderbilt, Nashville, TN, USA) to discuss his recent cross-sectional study of 15,137 COVID-19 children aged 2 months to <18 years with COVID-19 discharged from 52 children’s hospitals from March 2020-March 2022. They concluded that neurologic complications are common in children hospitalized with COVID-19 and are associated with worse hospital outcomes. It also highlighted the importance of COVID-19 vaccination in children and high risk populations.
