Summary

During the COVID-19 pandemic children have been perceived as a group not being especially affected, with less being infected, low symptom burden and low mortality. A small proportion however develop life-threatening hyperinflammation (mis-c) and at least one Danish child has died from this condition. Since the fall of 2020 international awareness has been raised by parents reporting that their children experience gastrointestinal issues, chest pain, headaches, fatigue, joint/muscle pain, sore throat, dizziness, nausea and fever for months following COVID-19 infection.

In this study the investigators aim to investigate the proportions of possible long covid in the 45.000 Danish children that has been tested positive for covid-19. The investigators know from the Danish Covid-19 surveillance data that 300 has been admitted to the hospital within the first 2 weeks after diagnosing. However, no knowledge about how many visits the participants have to the ER and GP compared to children without covid-19 as well as hospital admissions within the first year and medical prescriptions within the first year. This knowledge can give the investigators an indication of how affected these children are on the long term. Furthermore, data has been collected about the long-term symptoms in adults, but not children, and it now seems obvious that this data are needed to fully understand the disease and orchestra the relevant medical attention for children during the covid-19 pandemic.
