Multisystem inflammatory syndrome in children (MIS-C) is a severe manifestation of SARS-CoV-2 in children and adolescents. We aimed to estimate the risk of MIS-C after SARS-CoV-2 infection in vaccinated and unvaccinated individuals during the Omicron wave. Further, we aimed to compare the risk and clinical characteristics of MIS-C with the pre-Omicron waves.
This population-based cohort study prospectively included patients aged 0 to 17 years with MIS-C from all 18 Danish pediatric departments. Patients were diagnosed from January 1, 2022, to March 15, 2022, after SARS-CoV-2 infection between January 1 and February 1, 2022, when Omicron constituted more than 95% of variants. We followed the reporting guidelines for cohort studies. We used previously reported data to compare MIS-C during Omicron with the pre-Omicron waves.,
