Clinical features and outcomes of 76 patients with COVID-19-related multi-system inflammatory syndrome in children.

Although there is a wide clinical variability among the patients with MIS-C, we suggest that those with older age and lower initial serum albumin levels merit close monitoring due to their higher risk for PICU admission. Key Points • Although there is a wide variability regarding the management process among clinicians, MIS-C is a rare, severe, less understood complication of COVID-19 that may cause rapid clinical deterioration in the patients. • Clinicians should be aware of this condition in children with persistent fever and a family history of COVID-19. • Older age and low serum albumin levels are the independent predictors for the pediatric intensive care unit admission among MIS-C patients.
