Researchers Use Cutting-Edge EHR Data Resource to Find Risk Factors for Severe COVID-19 in Children

Children with COVID-19 often get less sick than adults, but some are at risk for serious illness or even death. In a recent study published in the journal JAMA Network Open, NCATS-supported researchers found traits that put children more at risk for severe COVID-19 complications. These traits can help doctors decide whether children diagnosed with COVID-19 should receive different treatment to avoid hospitalization.
