“…This is especially crucial in healthcare systems with significant budget constraints and challenges related to Universal Health Coverage (12). Regarding economic studies of COVID-19, impact and cost-effectiveness studies of COVID-19 vaccination for the region have been published, such as those by Augustovsky et al (13) and Taborda et al (14) However, specific studies on the economic burden of the disease in the pediatric population have yet to be published.…”

BackgroundLimited data are available on the clinical impact and economic burden of COVID-19 in the pediatric population in Argentina. We aimed to estimate the disease and economic burden of COVID-19 on children and adolescents.MethodsWe analyzed official national databases and conducted a supplemental systematic review of the published literature with meta-analysis in children aged 0–18. The period of interest was from March 2020 to August 2021, before the introduction of vaccination in this age group as a national strategic plan. In addition, we used a cost of illness analysis to estimate the direct medical costs associated with COVID-19. All costs are reported in US dollars 2023.ResultsA total of 450,503 confirmed COVID-19 cases and 180 multisystem inflammatory syndrome (MIS-C) were reported in Argentina in the study period. Fourteen observational clinical studies were identified. The meta-analyses of severity level from hospital patients showed that according to different studies 15%–28% of cases were asymptomatic, 68%–88% were mild or moderate, and 3%–10% were severe or critical. About 28% of children had an underlying disease. In addition, the estimated economic burden associated with COVID-19 was 80 million dollars and 4 million dollars corresponded to MISC.ConclusionSignificant impact of COVID-19 on the healthcare system and substantial economic implications for the pediatric population in Argentina were identified. The findings should help policymakers to make informed decisions and allocate resources effectively.
