Version 2.2-June 1, 2020 CHILDREN’S HOSPITAL OF THE KING’S DAUGHTERS CHKD Treatment Guideline for COVID-19 in Children ***This guideline will be frequently updated, ensure the you are utilizing the most recent version*** Patient population: Patients with suspected or confirmed COVID-19 infection, who are admitted to an inpatient floor or the intensive care unit. Clinical symptoms: Range from uncomplicated upper respiratory tract viral infection to pneumonia, acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS), sepsis, and septic shock (Table 1).

If bacterial infection is suspected, broad-spectrum antibiotics may be used. 22 NSAID use is not contraindicated and has not been proven to have any added benefit or adverse outcomes in patients with COVID-19. Antiviral Therapy: Currently, no drug has been proven to be safe and effective for treating COVID-19. There is insufficient data to recommend either for or against the use of any antiviral or immunomodulatory therapy in patients with COVID-19 who have mild, moderate, severe, or critical illness. Treatment should be considered as outlined in (Figure 1). All medications described in (Table 4) are considered investigational or expanded access/EUA.

Anticoagulation: COVID-19 is associated with an increased risk of venous thromboembolism (VTE) in adults. Due to this risk, routine use of pharmacologic prophylaxis or therapeutic anticoagulation is utilized unless contraindicated. Currently there are no specific recommendations for pediatric patients with COVID-19. 15-21 Pediatric confirmed COVID-19 hospitalized patients should be assessed based on risk factors as outlined below: 1) Consider Heme/Onc consult for risk assessment and recommendations 2) Individual VTE risk factors should be evaluated on admission and reassessed every 48-72 hours for the duration of the hospitalization 3) Enoxaparin prophylaxis is recommended in adult patients with confirmed COVID-19 unless contraindicated 4) Enoxaparin prophylaxis should be strongly considered in pediatric patients with confirmed COVID-19 unless contraindicated 5) An assessment of bleeding risks verse benefit should be completed on each patient (Table 2.) 6) Alternative methods of prophylaxis, such as early ambulation or mechanical prophylaxis should be considered in contraindicated patients and all COVID-19 pediatric patients, if applicable. 15-21 Multisystem Inflammatory Syndrome in Children (MIS-C): Recent reports describe a rare but serious COVID-19 associated syndrome in children referred to as MIS-C. 24-25 MIS-C consists of persistent fever, elevated inflammatory markers (including cytokine storm), neutrophilia, lymphopenia, coagulopathy and a variety of clinical manifestations including: a) Vasodilatory shock with normal or mildly depressed systolic function b) Cardiogenic shock with ≥ moderate systolic dysfunction c) Kawasaki disease (KD) features (can be complete or incomplete KD) d) Clinical and laboratory features of cytokine storm e) Coronary artery dilation and aneurysms (up to 25% of children and teens with MIS-C 26 ) f) Any combination of the above Not all patients present with respiratory symptoms and/or a (+) COVID-19 test via RT-PCR or serology. 24-26 The CDC recommends providers report any patient who meets the case definition (see below) to local, state, and territorial health departments.

    CHILDREN’S HOSPITAL OF THE KING’S DAUGHTERS

    CHKD Treatment Guideline for COVID-19 in Children

    ***This guideline will be frequently updated, ensure the you are utilizing the most recent version***

    Patient population: Patients with suspected or confirmed COVID-19 infection, who are admitted to an inpatient floor or the intensive

    care unit.

    Clinical symptoms: Range from uncomplicated upper respiratory tract viral infection to pneumonia, acute respiratory distress

    syndrome (ARDS), sepsis, and septic shock (Table 1). No specific data is available establishing risk factors for severe COVID-19

    disease in children.23 In addition, a rare but serious inflammatory syndrome in children has been linked to COVID-19. The CDC is calling the condition multisystem inflammatory syndrome in children (MIS-C).25-26

    COVID-19 Treatment:

    Supportive Therapy: Supportive treatment including sufficient fluid and calorie intake, and additional oxygen supplementation should be used in the treatment of children infected with COVID-19. The aim is to prevent ARDS, organ

    failure, and secondary nosocomial infections. If bacterial infection is suspected, broad-spectrum antibiotics may be used.22

    NSAID use is not contraindicated and has not been proven to have any added benefit or adverse outcomes in patients with

    COVID-19.

    Antiviral Therapy: Currently, no drug has been proven to be safe and effective for treating COVID-19. There is insufficient data to recommend either for or against the use of any antiviral or immunomodulatory therapy in patients with COVID-19

    who have mild, moderate, severe, or critical illness. Treatment should be considered as outlined in (Figure 1). All

    medications described in (Table 4) are considered investigational or expanded access/EUA. The decision to use these

    medications should be made only after assessing the risks and benefits in addition to clinical status, comorbidities, and

    interacting medications.22-23 No drugs have been found to be effective and are not recommended by the COVID-19 Treatment

    Guidelines.23 An informed consent should be reviewed and completed prior to treatment.

    Anticoagulation: COVID-19 is associated with an increased risk of venous thromboembolism (VTE) in adults. Due to this risk, routine use of pharmacologic prophylaxis or therapeutic anticoagulation is utilized unless contraindicated. Currently there are no

    specific recommendations for pediatric patients with COVID-19.15-21 Pediatric confirmed COVID-19 hospitalized patients should be

    assessed based on risk factors as outlined below:

    1) Consider Heme/Onc consult for risk assessment and recommendations

    2) Individual VTE risk factors should be evaluated on admission and reassessed every 48-72 hours for the duration of the hospitalization

    3) Enoxaparin prophylaxis is recommended in adult patients with confirmed COVID-19 unless contraindicated 4) Enoxaparin prophylaxis should be strongly considered in pediatric patients with confirmed COVID-19 unless

    contraindicated 5) An assessment of bleeding risks verse benefit should be completed on each patient (Table 2.) 6) Alternative methods of prophylaxis, such as early ambulation or mechanical prophylaxis should be considered in

    contraindicated patients and all COVID-19 pediatric patients, if applicable. 15-21

    Multisystem Inflammatory Syndrome in Children (MIS-C): Recent reports describe a rare but serious COVID-19 associated

    syndrome in children referred to as MIS-C.24-25 MIS-C consists of persistent fever, elevated inflammatory markers (including cytokine

    storm), neutrophilia, lymphopenia, coagulopathy and a variety of clinical manifestations including:

    a) Vasodilatory shock with normal or mildly depressed systolic function b) Cardiogenic shock with ≥ moderate systolic dysfunction c) Kawasaki disease (KD) features (can be complete or incomplete KD) d) Clinical and laboratory features of cytokine storm e) Coronary artery dilation and aneurysms (up to 25% of children and teens with MIS-C26) f) Any combination of the above

    Not all patients present with respiratory symptoms and/or a (+) COVID-19 test via RT-PCR or serology.24-26 The CDC recommends

    providers report any patient who meets the case definition (see below) to local, state, and territorial health departments. Some individuals may fulfill full or partial criteria for Kawasaki disease but should be reported if they meet the case definition for MIS-C.24-

    26 If a patient presents with a classic KD and incidentally found to be COVID-19 (+), treat as standard KD. Patients who present with

    COVID-19 + HLH, Heme-Onc should be consulted for recommendations. Infectious disease and/or rheumatology should be consulted

    to assist with management in addition to the specific treatment and management recommendations outlined in (Figure 3.)
