Characteristics and Outcome of Children Admitted with Sars- Cov-2 Infection: Experiences from a Pediatric Public Hospital in Western India  

“…As seen in other series, fever and respiratory symptoms were the common presenting symptoms [8][9][10]12,13].…”

Clinical Features and Outcome of SARS-CoV-2 Infection in Children: A Systematic Review and Meta-analysis

“…Among 27 included studies, 21 were from China [8,[10][11][12][13][14][15][16][17][18][19][20][21][22][23][24][25][26][27][28][29], two each from Italy [30,31] and the Republic of Korea [32,33], and one each from the United States of America [4], and Spain [34]. Among the included studies, five were good, thirteen were fair, and nine were of poor quality as assessed by the Newcastle Ottawa scale [7].…”

“…A predefined search strategy was developed, and three investigators independently performed a literature search in MEDLINE, EMBASE, Web of Science, and CENTRAL (Cochrane central register of controlled trials) for the original articles published between December 01, 2019, to May 10, 2020. The search strategy was targeted for patients aged less than 19 years with SARS-CoV-2 infection or COVID-19 and was based on two basic groups of terminologies: study population [pediatric / children / child / infant/ adolescent], and terms related to or describing COVID- 19 and novel coronavirus (nCoV) infection. Terms used for literature search were: COVID-19, coronavirus, SARS-CoV-2, 2019 nCoV, severe acute respiratory syndrome Specific search strategies were created for each search engine, by using the MeSH term and above-described terms.…”

Occurrence and transmission potential of asymptomatic and presymptomatic SARS-CoV-2 infections: A living systematic review and meta-analysis

“…The remaining studies, in hospital settings, included adult patients only (15 studies, n = 3,228) [27,39,45,52,53,56,57,64,80,83,89,92,103,107,114], children only (10 studies, n = 285) [40][41][42]59,84,87,98,99,104,106], or adults and children (10 studies, n = 1,518) [54,67,77,79,86,88,96,102,109,112] (Table 1, Fig 1). The types of hospital and clinical severity of patients differed, including settings in which anyone with SARS-CoV-2 infection was admitted for isolation and traditional hospitals.…”
