Abstract

Objectives Due to their medical and technology dependence, families of children with medical complexity (CMC) have significant costs associated with care. Financial impact on families in general have been described, but detailed exploration of expenses in specific categories has not been systematically explored. Our objective was to describe out-of-pocket (OOP) expenses incurred by caregivers of CMC and to determine factors associated with increased expenditures. Methods This is a secondary observational analysis of data primary caregiver-reported OOP expenses as part of a randomized control trial conducted in Ontario, Canada. Caregivers completed questionnaires reporting OOP costs. Descriptive statistics were utilized to report OOP expenses and a linear regression model was conducted. Results 107 primary caregivers of CMC were included. The median (IQR) age of participants was 34.5 years (30.5 to 40.5) and 83.2% identified as the mother. The majority were married or common-law (86.9%) and 50.5% were employed. The participant's children [median (IQR) age 4.5 (2.2 to 9.7); 57.9% male] most commonly had a neurological/neuromuscular primary diagnosis (46.1%) and 88% utilized medical technology. Total OOP expenses were $8,639 CDN annually (IQR = $4,661 to $31,326) with substantial expenses related to childcare/homemaking, travel to appointments, hospitalizations, and device costs. No factors associated with greater likelihood of OOP expenses were identified. A P-value of <0.05 was considered significant. Conclusion Caregivers of CMC incur significant OOP expenses related to the care of their children resulting in financial burden. Future exploration of the financial impact on caregiver productivity, employment, and identification of resources to mitigate OOP expenses will be important for this patient population.

Abstract

Contexte : Les facteurs de risque de complications graves de l'infection par le SRAS-CoV-2 n'ont pas ete bien etablis chez les enfants. Nous avons voulu decrire les hospitalisations pediatriques associees au SRAS-CoV-2 au Canada et identifier les facteurs de risque de maladie grave. Methodes : Nous avons procede a une etude prospective nationale en utilisant l'infrastructure du Programme canadien de surveillance pediatrique (PCSP). Les hospitalisations d'enfants ayant contracte une infection par le SRAS-CoV-2 confirmee en laboratoire de microbiologie ont ete rapportees du 8 avril au 31 decembre 2020 au moyen de questionnaires hebdomadaires en ligne distribues au reseau du PCSP, qui compte plus de 2800 pediatres. Nous avons categorise les hospitalisations comme suit : liees a la COVID-19, infections decouvertes fortuitement, ou hospitalisations pour des raisons sociales ou de controle des infections, et degage les facteurs de risque associes a la gravite de la maladie chez les patients hospitalises. Resultats : Sur les 264 hospitalisations d'enfants ayant contracte le SRAS-CoV-2 au cours de la periode de l'etude de 9 mois, 150 (56,8 %) ont ete associees a la COVID-19 et 100 (37,9 %o) etaient des cas decouverts fortuitement (admission pour d'autres raisons et decouverte fortuite du SRAS-CoV-2 par depistage positif). Les nourrissons (37,3 %) et les adolescents (29,6 %) representaient la majorite des cas. Parmi les hospitalisations liees a la COVID-19, 52 patients (34,7 %) etaient atteints d'une forme grave de la mala die, dont 42 (28,0 % des cas lies a la COVID-19) ont eu besoin d'une forme d'assistance respiratoire ou hemodynamique, et 59 (39,3 %o) presentaient au moins 1 comorbidite sous-jacente. Les enfants atteints d'obesite, de maladies neurologiques chroniques ou de maladies pulmonaires chroniques, a l'exclusion de l'asthme, etaient plus susceptibles de presenter une forme grave ou critique de la COVID-19. Interpretation : Parmi les enfants hospitalises au Canada chez lesquels on a diagnostique une infection par le SRAS-CoV-2 au debut de la pandemie de COVID-19, la decouverte fortuite du SRAS-CoV-2 a ete frequente. Chez les enfants hospitalises pour une COVID-19 aigue, l'obesite et les comorbidites neurologiques et respiratoires ont ete associees a une gravite accrue., En date du 31 decembre 2020, le Canada comptait 581 427 cas confirmes d'infection par le SRAS-CoV-2 (1). Comme dans d'autres pays, la plupart des infections confirmees ont ete diagnostiquees [...]

Abstract

Background There are limited data on the viral dynamics of severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) in children. Understanding viral load changes over the course of illness and duration of viral shedding may provide insight into transmission dynamics to inform public health and infection-control decisions. Methods We conducted a prospective cohort study of children aged 18 years and younger with polymerase chain reaction–confirmed SARS-CoV-2 between 1 February 2022 and 14 March 2022. SARS-CoV-2 testing occurred on daily samples for 10 days; a subset of participants completed daily rapid antigen tests (RATs). Viral RNA trajectories were described in relation to symptom onset and resolution. The associations between both time since symptom onset/resolution and non-infectious viral load were evaluated using a Cox proportional hazards model. Results Among 101 children aged 2 to 17 years, the median time to study-defined non-infectious viral load was 5 days post–symptom onset, with 75% meeting this threshold by 7 days and 90% by 10 days. On the day of and day after symptom resolution, 43 (49%) and 52 (60%) of 87 had met the non-infectious thresholds, respectively. Of the 50 participants completing a RAT, positivity at symptom onset and on the day after symptom onset was 67% (16/24) and 75% (14/20). On the first day where the non-infectious threshold was met, 61% (n = 27/44) of participant RAT results were positive. Conclusions Children often met the study-defined non-infectiousness threshold on the day after symptom resolution. The RATs were often negative early in the course of illness and should not be relied on to exclude infection. Clinical Trials Registration. clinicaltrials.org; NCT05240183. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Abstract

Background: Risk factors for severe outcomes of SARS-CoV-2 infection are not well established in children. We sought to describe pediatric hospital admissions associated with SARS-CoV-2 infection in Canada and identify risk factors for more severe disease. Methods: We conducted a national prospective study using the infrastructure of the Canadian Paediatric Surveillance Program (CPSP). Cases involving children who were admitted to hospital with microbiologically confirmed SARS-CoV-2 infection were reported from Apr. 8 to Dec. 31 2020, through weekly online questionnaires distributed to the CPSP network of more than 2800 pediatricians. We categorized hospital admissions as related to COVID-19, incidental, or for social or infection control reasons and determined risk factors for disease severity in hospital. Results: Among 264 hospital admissions involving children with SARS-CoV-2 infection during the 9-month study period, 150 (56.8%) admissions were related to COVID-19 and 100 (37.9%) were incidental infections (admissions for other reasons and found to be positive for SARS-CoV-2 on screening). Infants (37.3%) and adolescents (29.6%) represented most cases. Among hospital admissions related to COVID-19, 52 (34.7%) had critical disease, 42 (28.0%) of whom required any form of respiratory or hemodynamic support, and 59 (39.3%) had at least 1 underlying comorbidity. Children with obesity, chronic neurologic conditions or chronic lung disease other than asthma were more likely to have severe or critical COVID-19. Interpretation: Among children who were admitted to hospital with SARS-CoV-2 infection in Canada during the early COVID-19 pandemic period, incidental SARS-CoV-2 infection was common. In children admitted with acute COVID-19, obesity and neurologic and respiratory comorbidities were associated with more severe disease., As of Dec. 31, 2020, Canada had 581427 confirmed cases of SARS-CoV-2 infection. (1) Similar to other countries, most confirmed infections were in adults, in part because of initial testing [...]

Abstract

Background Descriptions of the COVID-19 pandemic’s indirect consequences on children are emerging. We aimed to describe the impacts of the pandemic on children with medical complexity (CMC) and their families. Methods A one-time survey of Canadian paediatricians using the Canadian Paediatric Surveillance Program (CPSP) was conducted in Spring 2021. Results A total of 784 paediatricians responded to the survey, with 70% (n = 540) providing care to CMC. Sixty-seven (12.4%) reported an adverse health outcome due to a COVID-19 pandemic-related disruption in healthcare delivery. Disruption of the supply of medication and equipment was reported by 11.9% of respondents (n = 64). Respondents reported an interruption in family caregiving (47.5%, n = 252) and homecare delivery (40.8%, n = 218). Almost 47% of respondents (n = 253) observed a benefit to CMC due to COVID-19 related changes in healthcare delivery, including increased availability of virtual care and reduction in respiratory illness. Some (14.4%) reported that CMC were excluded from in-person learning when their peers without medical complexity were not. Conclusion Canadian paediatricians reported that CMC experienced adverse health outcomes during the COVID-19 pandemic, including disruptions to family caregiving and community supports. They also describe benefits related to the pandemic including the expansion of virtual care. These results highlight the need for healthcare, community and education policymakers to collaborate with families to optimize their health.
