Risk of SARS ‐ CoV ‐2 Infection and Hospitalisation in Immunocompromised Children: A Population‐Based Cohort Study in Italy and Norway

Key Points

This research aims to assess the risk of SARS-CoV-2 infection and hospitalization among immunocompromised children.
Conducted a population-based cohort study
Analyzed infection and hospitalisation rates in immunocompromised children
Compared findings between Italy and Norway
No increased risk of SARS-CoV-2 infection in immunocompromised children
Higher hospitalisation rates observed despite low severe disease incidence
Findings suggest that cautious clinical management plays a role

Abstract

IC did not have an increased risk of infection but experienced higher hospitalisation rates despite a low incidence of severe disease. This pattern may reflect precautionary clinical management rather than increased disease severity.
