- Abstract
Analysing the two distinct periods, we found an incidence of 5080 MIS-C every 100,000 patients with COVID in the period April 2020-November 2021, while in the period December 2021-March 2022 the incidence was reduced to 1439 MIS-C every 100,000 accesses ( I p i < 0.0001, I i SP 2 sp Test). Analysing the incidence of MIS-C in patients who have had fever >=38°C for at least 24 h during the period April 2020-November 2021, the incidence was 380 MIS-C every 100,000 febrile patients whereas in the period December 2021-March 2022 we found an incidence of 491 MIS-C every 100,000 febrile patients ( I p i = 0.0002, I i SP 2 sp Test). In this period of times, total admissions were 50,413, of which 8017 (15.9%) patients had fever >=38°C lasting at least 24 h; 1197 (2.37%) patients had Sars-CoV-2 infection.
