Children were much more likely to suffer severe outcomes from COVID-19 caused by the Delta virus variant when compared to the Omicron variant, according to a new study.
Researchers from Case Western Reserve University School of Medicine in Ohio reviewed electronic health records of more than 651,000 American children under 5 years old who had an encounter with health care facilities between September 2021 and January. The records came from the TriNetX Analytics Platform, and patients were from all 50 states.
