Hospitalizations among children during the COVID-19 pandemic declined, according to a study published by the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), but those who were hospitalized were mostly there due to the coronavirus.
The study looked at children up to the age of 17 years, splitting them into three age groups: 0 to 4, 5 to 11, and 12 to 17.
âCompared with 2019, overall pediatric emergency department visits decreased by 51 percent, 22 percent, and 23 percent during 2020, 2021, and January 2022, respectively,â according to the Feb. 18 report.
