Most children in a small cohort who were hospitalised after COVID-19 infection appear to have avoided long-term impacts, according to an international study. The researchers followed up with 68 children who had been hospitalised with post-COVID-19 Multisystem Inflammatory Syndrome a year on to check their health. Children who had the syndrome early on are rare, and the researchers say the small number of children and inconsistencies in how their health has been monitored limit their ability to draw conclusions from the data. However, they say their research shows while a small group have not seen their heart and blood tests return to normal, the vast majority of the participants appear to have avoided medium and long term health impacts.

What The Study Did: Although data for 68 patients identified a group of patients with a risk of significant long-term complications, the majority of patients had good outcomes with no significant medium- or long-term consequences.
