RESUMO

OBJECTIVE: Currently, little is known about the long-term outcomes of COVID-19 in the pediatric population. The aim of this study was to investigate the long-term clinical outcomes of pediatric patients hospitalized with COVID-19. METHODS: This was a prospective cohort study involving unvaccinated children and adolescents admitted to a tertiary hospital in southern Brazil with a COVID-19 diagnosis. Data were collected from electronic medical records for one year after the diagnosis. RESULTS: A total of 66 children were included: the median age was 2.9 years; 63.6% were male; and 48.5% were under 2 years of age. Over 70% had at least one comorbidity prior to the COVID-19 diagnosis. During the one-year follow-up period, 59.1% of the children revisited the emergency department, 50% required readmission, and 15.2% died. Younger children with longer hospital stays were found to be at greater risk of readmission. Having cancer and impaired functionality were found to increase the risk of death within one year. CONCLUSIONS: Our findings indicate that most children hospitalized with COVID-19 have comorbidities. Younger age at admission and a longer hospital stay seem to be risk factors for readmission. In addition, the presence of cancer and impaired functionality are apparently associated with the poor outcome of death within the first year after the diagnosis of COVID-19.

RESUMO

OBJECTIVE: The present study aimed to assess the functional status of children diagnosed with COVID-19 at the time of hospitalization and the associations with clinical features. METHODS: This prospective cohort study was carried out with children diagnosed with COVID-19 admitted to a tertiary hospital. The patients' functioning was assessed using the pediatric Functional Status Scale (FSS). RESULTS: A total of 62 children with a median age of 3 years old were included in the study, and 70% had some comorbidity prior to the diagnosis of COVID-19. The median length of stay was nine days, during which period five patients died. The FSS assessment of the sample showed that approximately 55% had some functional alteration. The group of patients with the highest FSS scores presented a lengthier hospital stay (p = 0.016), required more oxygen therapy (p < 0.001), mechanical ventilation (p = 0.001), and intensive care unit admissions (p = 0.019), and had more cardiac (p = 0.007), neurological (p = 0.003), and respiratory (p = 0.013) comorbidities. In the multivariate analysis, there was an association between the dependent variable length of stay and the total FSS score (b = 0.349, p = 0.004) and the presence of comorbidities (b = 0.357, p = 0.004). CONCLUSIONS: We observed that more than half of the children hospitalized due to COVID-19 had some level of functional change. Greater alterations in functional status were associated with the presence of previous comorbidities, a greater need for ventilatory support, and longer hospital stays.

RESUMO Objetivo: Atualmente, pouco se sabe sobre os desfechos em longo prazo da COVID-19 na população pediátrica. O objetivo deste estudo foi investigar os desfechos clínicos em longo prazo de pacientes pediátricos hospitalizados com COVID-19. Métodos: Trata-se de um estudo prospectivo de coorte com crianças e adolescentes não vacinados internados em um hospital terciário do Sul do Brasil com diagnóstico de COVID-19. Os dados referentes ao período de um ano após o diagnóstico foram extraídos dos prontuários médicos eletrônicos. Resultados: Foram incluídas 66 crianças: a mediana da idade foi de 2,9 anos; 63,6% eram do sexo masculino; 48,5% tinham menos de 2 anos de idade. Mais de 70% tinham pelo menos uma comorbidade antes do diagnóstico de COVID-19. Durante o período de um ano de acompanhamento, 59,1% das crianças retornaram ao pronto-socorro, 50% necessitaram de readmissão e 15,2% morreram. O risco de readmissão foi maior em crianças mais novas que permaneceram internadas durante mais tempo. Câncer e funcionalidade prejudicada aumentaram o risco de morte até um ano depois. Conclusões: Nossos achados indicam que a maioria das crianças hospitalizadas com COVID-19 apresenta comorbidades. Ser mais jovem no momento da internação hospitalar e permanecer internado durante mais tempo parecem ser fatores de risco de readmissão. Além disso, câncer e funcionalidade prejudicada são fatores aparentemente relacionados com o mau desfecho de óbito no primeiro ano após o diagnóstico de COVID-19.

RESUMO Objetivo: O objetivo do presente estudo foi de avaliar o estado funcional de crianças diagnosticadas com COVID-19 no momento da internação e as associações com suas características clínicas. Métodos: Este estudo de coorte prospectivo foi realizado com crianças diagnosticadas com COVID-19 internadas em um hospital terciário. A funcionalidade dos pacientes foi avaliada por meio da Escala de Estado Funcional (FSS) pediátrica. Resultados: Foram incluídas no estudo 62 crianças com idade mediana de 3 anos, das quais 70% apresentavam alguma comorbidade antes do diagnóstico de COVID-19. O tempo mediano de internação foi de nove dias, período no qual cinco pacientes vieram a óbito. A avaliação da FSS da amostra mostrou que aproximadamente 55% apresentavam alguma alteração funcional. O grupo de pacientes com os maiores escores na FSS teve um maior tempo de internação (p = 0,016), necessitou de mais oxigenoterapia (p < 0,001), ventilação mecânica (p = 0,001) e internações em unidade de terapia intensiva (p = 0,019) e tinha mais comorbidades cardíacas (p = 0,007), neurológicas (p = 0,003) e respiratórias (p = 0,013). Na análise multivariada, observou-se uma associação entre a variável dependente tempo de internação e o escore total da FSS (b = 0,349, p = 0,004) e a presença de comorbidades (b = 0,357, p = 0,004). Conclusões: Verificou-se que mais da metade das crianças internadas devido à COVID-19 apresentaram algum nível de alteração funcional. Maiores alterações no estado funcional foram associadas à presença de comorbidades prévias, maior necessidade de suporte ventilatório e maior tempo de internação.
