Abstract
This retrospective observational cohort study evaluated acute illness predictors of pediatric Long coronavirus disease 2019 in Jamaica. Poisson regression modeling associated acute univariate symptoms of vomiting, abdominal pain, ageusia, anosmia, fatigue, confusion, brain fog, and multisystem inflammatory syndrome in children and multivariable composite predictors of multisystem inflammatory syndrome in children, vomiting and ageusia. The 47.3% incidence supports the need for improvements in similar resource-constrained settings.
