OBJECTIVES Describe population-based rates and risk factors for pediatric severe coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) (ie, ICU admission, invasive mechanical ventilation, or death). METHODS During March 2020 to May 2021, the COVID-19–Associated Hospitalization Surveillance Network identified 3106 children hospitalized with laboratory-confirmed acute respiratory syndrome 2 infection in 14 states. Among 2293 primarily admitted COVID-19, multivariable generalized estimating equations generated...
<h3>Importance</h3> Racial and ethnic minority groups are disproportionately affected by COVID-19. <h3>Objectives</h3> To evaluate whether rates of severe COVID-19, defined as hospitalization, intensive care unit (ICU) admission, or in-hospital death, higher among racial compared with non-Hispanic White persons. <h3>Design, Setting, Participants</h3> This cross-sectional study included 99 counties within 14 US states participating in the COVID-19–Associated Hospitalization Surveillance...
Understanding risk factors for hospitalization in vaccinated persons and the association of COVID-19 vaccines with rates is critical public health efforts to control COVID-19.
Beginning the week of December 19-25, 2021, B.1.1.529 (Omicron) variant SARS-CoV-2 (the virus that causes COVID-19) became predominant circulating in United States (i.e., accounted for >50% sequenced isolates).* Information on impact booster or additional doses COVID-19 vaccines have preventing hospitalizations during Omicron predominance is limited. Data from COVID-19-Associated Hospitalization Surveillance Network (COVID-NET)† were analyzed to compare COVID-19-associated hospitalization...
Vaccinated patients were defined as those with a positive SARS-CoV-2 test result from specimen collected ≥14 days after either the second dose of 2-dose vaccination series or 1 single-dose vaccine.When not otherwise specified, vaccinated include who might have received additional booster doses.Vaccinated without doses both eligible and yet for an dose.Vaccinated on August 13, 2021, receipt doses.† https://www.cdc.gov/coronavirus/2019-ncov/prevent-getting-sick/prevention.html§...
Health care personnel (HCP) can be exposed to SARS-CoV-2, the virus that causes coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19), both within and outside workplace, increasing their risk for infection. Among 6,760 adults hospitalized during March 1-May 31, 2020, whom HCP status was determined by COVID-19-Associated Hospitalization Surveillance Network (COVID-NET), 5.9% were HCP. Nursing-related occupations (36.3%) represented largest proportion of with COVID-19. Median age 49 years, 89.8% had at least...
COVID-19 adolescent hospitalization rates peaked at 2.1 per 100,000 in early January 2021, declined to 0.6 mid-March, and rose 1.3 April. Among hospitalized adolescents, nearly one-third required intensive care unit admission 5% invasive mechanical ventilation, but no associated deaths occurred.

Abstract Background Influenza virus and SARS-CoV-2 are significant causes of respiratory illness in children. Methods Influenza- COVID-19–associated hospitalizations among children &lt;18 years old were analyzed from FluSurv-NET COVID-NET, 2 population-based surveillance systems with similar catchment areas methodology. The annual hospitalization rate per 100 000 during the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic (1 October 2020–30 September 2021) was compared influenza-associated rates 2017–2018...
The 2022-23 influenza season shows an early rise in pediatric influenza-associated hospitalizations (1). SARS-CoV-2 viruses also continue to circulate (2). current is the first with substantial co-circulation of and (3). Although both seasonal can contribute morbidity (3-5), whether coinfection increases disease severity compared that associated infection one virus alone unknown. This report describes characteristics prevalence laboratory-confirmed coinfections among patients aged <18 years...
Abstract Background Bacterial and viral infections can occur with SARS‐CoV‐2 infection, but prevalence, risk factors, associated clinical outcomes are not fully understood. Methods We used the Coronavirus Disease 2019‐Associated Hospitalization Surveillance Network (COVID‐NET), a population‐based surveillance system, to investigate occurrence of bacterial among hospitalized adults laboratory‐confirmed infection between March 2020 April 2022. Clinician‐driven testing for pathogens from...
Among adults, COVID-19 hospitalization rates increase with age. Data from the COVID-19-Associated Hospitalization Surveillance Network were analyzed to estimate population-based COVID-19-associated during October 2023-April 2024 and identify demographic clinical characteristics of adults aged ≥18 years hospitalized COVID-19. Adults ≥65 accounted for 70% all adult hospitalizations, their higher than those among younger age groups. Cumulative lowest groups an October-April surveillance period...
Abstract Background As of August 21, 2021, >60% the U.S. population aged ≥18 years were fully vaccinated with vaccines highly effective in preventing hospitalization due to Coronavirus Disease-2019 (COVID-19). Infection despite full vaccination (vaccine breakthrough) has been reported, but characteristics those vaccine breakthrough resulting and relative rates unvaccinated persons are not well described, including during late June July 2021 when transmissible Delta variant predominated....
Beginning the week of March 20–26, 2022, Omicron BA.2 variant SARS-CoV-2, virus that causes COVID-19, became predominant circulating in United States, accounting for >50% sequenced isolates.* Data from COVID-19–Associated Hospitalization Surveillance Network (COVID-NET) were analyzed to describe recent COVID-19–associated hospitalization rates among adults aged ≥18 years during period coinciding with predominance (BA.2 [Omicron and BA.2.12.1; 20–May 31, 2022]). Weekly (hospitalizations per...

Abstract Background In 2023, CDC recommended respiratory syncytial virus (RSV) vaccination for adults aged ≥ 60 years using shared clinical decision-making. Clinical trials of RSV vaccines in younger age groups are ongoing. Identifying chronic conditions associated with increased hospitalization risk can inform policy.Figure 1.Prevalence medical among community-dwelling ≥50 hospitalized (RSV),1 RSV-NET states,2 and 50 US states the District Columbia2Abbreviations: BMI: body mass index...
ABSTRACT The COVID‐19‐Associated Hospitalization Surveillance Network (COVID‐NET) was established in March 2020 to monitor trends hospitalizations associated with SARS‐CoV‐2 infection. COVID‐NET is a geographically diverse population‐based surveillance system for laboratory‐confirmed COVID‐19‐associated combined catchment area covering approximately 10% of the US population. Data collected includes monthly counts persons confirmed infection who reside within defined area. A Bayesian modeling...
Severe outcomes were common among adults hospitalized for COVID-19 or influenza, while the percentage of hospitalizations involving critical care decreased from October 2021 to September 2022. During Omicron BA.5 period, intensive unit admission frequency was similar and although patients with had a higher in-hospital death.
Abstract Among 513 adults aged 18–49 years without underlying medical conditions hospitalized with coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) during March 2020–August 2020, 22% were admitted to an intensive care unit, 10% required mechanical ventilation, and 3 patients died (0.6%). These data demonstrate that healthy younger can develop severe COVID-19.
Objectives Some studies suggested more COVID-19-associated hospitalizations among racial and ethnic minorities. To inform public health practice, the Hospitalization Surveillance Network (COVID-NET) quantified associations between race/ethnicity, census tract socioeconomic indicators, hospitalization rates. Methods Using data from COVID-NET population-based surveillance reported during March 1–April 30, 2020 along with denominator US Census Bureau, we calculated rates by racial/ethnic...
