Epidemiology and Mortality Risk of Severe Viral Pneumonia During the Pre-Pandemic, COVID-19 Pandemic and Post-Pandemic Era: A Retrospective Study of Hospitalized Children in ShenZhen, China Between 2017 and 2023
The COVID-19 pandemic has altered the landscape of respiratory viruses causing SVP in children. The presence of underlying health conditions, particularly acute leukemia, other malignancies, and immunodeficiency, significantly increases the risk of death in children with viral pneumonia. The risk prediction model offers a reliable tool for clinical practice to predict mortality in these patients.
