Leveraging Serologic Testing to Identify Children at Risk For Post-Acute Sequelae of SARS-CoV-2 Infection: An Electronic Health Record–Based Cohort Study from the RECOVER Program - 17/06/23

Abstract |
Using an electronic health record–based algorithm, we identified children with Coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) based exclusively on serologic testing between March 2020 and April 2022. Compared with the 131 537 polymerase chain reaction–positive children, the 2714 serology-positive children were more likely to be inpatients (24% vs 2%), to have a chronic condition (37% vs 24%), and to have a diagnosis of multisystem inflammatory syndrome in children (23% vs <1%). Identification of children who could have been asymptomatic or paucisymptomatic and not tested is critical to define the burden of post-acute sequelae of severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 infection in children.
