COVID-19: Pediatric Research Immune Network on SARS-CoV-2 and MIS-C

The primary objectives of this study are:

* To determine the proportion of children with Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome Coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) related death, rehospitalization or major complications after infection with SARS-CoV-2 and/or Multisystem Inflammatory Syndrome in Children (MIS-C), and * To determine immunologic mechanisms and immune signatures associated with disease spectrum and subsequent clinical course during the year of follow-up.

Key information

About this study

This is a prospective, multicenter, observational cohort study to assess short and long-term clinical outcomes and immune responses after Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome Coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) infection and/or Multisystem Inflammatory Syndrome in Children (MIS-C) in children (e.g., defined as individuals who have not reached their 21st birthday at the time of enrollment). SARS-CoV-2 causes Coronavirus Disease 2019 (COVID-19)

Participants will be identified through active recruitment measures within hospitals and through ambulatory and laboratory-based databases of SARS-CoV-2 positive individuals <21 years of age. The study will enroll a minimum of 250 subjects from a diverse racial/ethnic background, from participating medical centers in the United States. The study period of participation is 1 year (12 months).

Who can participate

Healthy volunteers accepted: No

Only the study team can determine whether someone qualifies for participation.

Inclusion criteria

  • Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome Coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) detection from a respiratory specimen, and/or
  • Meets criteria for Multisystem Inflammatory Syndrome in Children (MIS-C), and/or
  • Meets criteria for MIS-C, except has involvement of only 1 organ system

Cases meeting clinical criteria for MIS-C but without known SARS-CoV-2 exposure, and who are being treated as MIS-C by the treating physician, but with negative SARS-CoV-2 PCR and pending or negative antibody testing, may be enrolled as subjects. If subsequent antibody testing is positive, cases will be labelled as confirmed MIS-C. If SARS-CoV-2 antibody testing is negative, subjects will be labeled at the end of the study as suspected/not confirmed MIS-C.

Exclusion criteria

  • Subject and/or parent/guardian who are not able to understand or be willing to provide informed consent and where applicable assent

--Note, for this observational cohort study, participation in other COVID-19 studies is not an automatic exclusionary criterion.

    The Pediatric Quality of Life Inventory is a series of assessment instruments designed to measure the health-related quality of life of children. The PedsQL 4.0 provides an opportunity for the assessment of both overall (generic) quality of life as well as disease-specific quality of life.

    The PedsQL 4.0 Generic Core Scales are appropriate for assessing health-related quality of life in both healthy and chronically ill children. The four scales making up this generic battery include Physical Functioning (8 items), Emotional Functioning (5 items), Social Functioning (5 items), and School Functioning (5 items).
