Exploring COVID-19 pandemic-related increases in hospitalizations among adolescents for mental health issues harvardmed COVID19 SARSCoV2 Hospitalization MentalHealth Adolescent
By Neha MathurDec 16 2022Reviewed by Aimee Molineux In a recent article published in JAMA Network Open, researchers conducted a retrospective, multisite cohort study among 11 to 17-year-old adolescents in the United States of America and France. They assessed the month-on-month change in the number of mental health condition–related hospitalizations between pre- and post-pandemic times.
About the study In the present study, researchers retrieved patient-level data from electronic health records of eight children’s hospitals in France and the USA. They used interrupted time series analysis to estimate the variations in mental health condition–related hospitalizations among adolescents between February 1, 2019, to March 31, 2020, and April 1, 2020, to April 30, 2021.

Specifically, they determined the number of unique patients hospitalized in each period and compared patient and hospital characteristics. Finally, the team used meta-analysis to estimate aggregate proportion variations in hospitalizations across hospitals and countries.
Study findings Five and three US and French pediatric hospitals, respectively, contributed data for the study analyses. There were 9696 and 11,101 adolescents with at least one mental health condition–related hospitalization in the reference pre-pandemic and examined pandemic periods, respectively, with an average age of 14.6 and 14.7 years, at hospitalization.
