Reduced aerobic capacity in children with multisystem inflammatory syndrome in children (MIS-C) after PICU admission: a retrospective cohort study, 2020–2022
This study suggests that children with MIS-C experience significant reductions in aerobic capacity compared to healthy controls, primarily due to muscular deconditioning. These findings highlight the importance of considering post-ICU consultations and implementing strategies to address physical deconditioning in this population.
