Obesity and immunodeficiencies are the main pre-existing conditions associated with mild to moderate COVID-19 in children as those who did require ICU admission.

The three most common pre-existing conditions in this population were immunodeficiencies (3.8%), asthma (3.8%) and obesity (3.1%).

The main finding of this study was that immunodeficiencies (aPR: 0.773, 95% CI 0.66-0.88) were associated with 23% less SARS-CoV-2 T A B L E 1 aPR by age, sex and altitude of residence to consider the cluster effect of data on certain locations
