Multisystem inflammatory syndrome in adults with COVID-19 requiring mechanical ventilation: A retrospective cohort study.

Multisystem inflammatory syndrome in adults can occur in 2.5% of critically ill COVID-19 patients, and the mortality rate is high. Multisystem inflammatory syndrome in adults may be considered when there is a re-elevation of the unexplained inflammatory response and severe dysfunction of at least two extrapulmonary organ systems several weeks after the onset of COVID-19.
