Show abstract
Direct comparisons of pediatric hospitalizations for acute COVID-19 and multisystem inflammatory syndrome in children (MIS-C) can inform health system planning. While there were more hospitalizations and deaths from acute COVID-19 amongst Canadian children between March 2020-May 2021, MIS-C cases were more severe, requiring more intensive care and vasopressor support.
