Comparison of presentation, treatment and follow-up outcomes in first and second wave cohorts of multisystem inflammatory syndrome in children

Key Points

MIS-C patients showed an increase in laboratory parameters throughout COVID-19 waves, emphasizing ongoing monitoring needs.
Echocardiographic findings remained stable during follow-ups, suggesting consistency in heart health among patients.
No significant differences in clinical findings and treatments were noted across different waves of COVID-19.
Overall outcomes indicate the importance of continuous observation of MIS-C as the pandemic evolves.

Abstract

The findings of this study revealed a significant increase in laboratory parameters of the MIS-C patients in time throughout the COVID-19 waves. There was no significant difference between the cohorts about different waves in terms of clinical findings and treatments. The echocardiographic findings of the patients have also not differed significantly between follow-ups.
