• Of the 3.2 million children and teenagers in England with a first COVID infection during this period, nearly 30,000 were hospitalised.
• We found that over 70% of these children needed hospital care, in whole or in part, because of COVID.
• Our study also showed increased vulnerability in the youngest children (particularly those under a year old), children from more deprived areas and minority ethnic children.

Some key findings

We were part of a group of paediatricians and data scientists who worked together studying child health records. We categorised the children’s hospital admissions into four groups:
• Unlike in the adult population, COVID infections contracted in hospital were rare, accounting for about 1% (380 cases), compared with around 30% in adults.
• This is probably because most children stay in hospital for a shorter time than adults, providing less opportunity to catch COVID.
• Among adults, the proportion in hospital primarily due to COVID decreased significantly with the arrival of omicron in December 2021.

Deprived children at higher risk

• There were fewer total recorded infections among children living in the most deprived areas (625,000) compared with the least deprived (732,000).
• The higher number of hospital admissions in deprived children probably reflects greater exposure to infection but might also reflect higher vulnerability to severe disease.
• Children in more deprived areas have much higher rates of obesity than those in less deprived areas due to socioeconomic inequalities.

The youngest children

• Or they may appear more unwell and cause parents and doctors greater concern when they catch this infection compared with older children.
• It’s well known that children under one are more vulnerable to other respiratory illnesses such as RSV.
• Notes on terminology: Technically, children are infected with SARS-CoV-2 and “COVID” refers to the disease on emergence of symptoms.
