One-year follow-up of a RCT: In ICU patients with severe hypoxemia, there was no difference in long-term mortality and health-related quality of life with lower vs. higher oxygenation targets.

Commentary on Twitter

Lower (8 kPa) vs higher oxygenation (12 kPa) targets: no longterm survival benefit nor HRQoL improvement at 1y in #ICU pts with severe hypoxaemia (HOT-ICU trial cohort). Substantial impairments in several EQ-5D-5L dimensions in survivors in both groups.

A nationwide cohort study in Denmark showed Long Covid in children is rare and mainly of short duration.

E ditorial | Long covid in children and adolescents – “Risk appears low, but many questions remain”.

M-A: Persistent symptoms following SARS-CoV-2 infection among children and young people – “Higher study quality was associated with lower prevalence of all symptoms, except loss of smell and cognitive symptoms”.

Review: Long COVID symptoms in children rarely persist beyond three months.

Cohort study: long term follow-up showed most patients with post–COVID-19 Multisystem Inflammatory Syndrome in Children had good outcomes with no significant medium- or long-term sequelae.

Do kids get long COVID? And how often? A pediatrician looks at the data – Children also get Long Covid, but much less often than adults.

Illness duration and symptom profile in symptomatic school-aged children tested for SARS-CoV-2 – “Only 25 (1.8%) of 1379 children experienced symptoms for at least 56 days.”

Long-term Symptoms After SARS-CoV-2 Infection in Children and Adolescents – “This study found a low prevalence of symptoms compatible with long COVID in a randomly selected cohort of children assessed 6 months after serologic testing”.
