Comparison of Adverse Clinical Outcomes in Children Hospitalized for Myocarditis with and Without COVID-19.

We used a nationally representative database of the US, which included 1995 myocarditis cases, among whom 620 children had COVID-19. While the risk of in-hospital mortality was not higher, illness severity and length of hospital stay were higher in patients with myocarditis and COVID-19 than those without COVID-19.
