FIGURE 1.

The figure is a line graph consisting of two sections showing the cumulative and weekly COVID-19–associated hospitalization rates among U.S. children aged <18 years, by age group in the 14 states participating in the Coronavirus Disease 2019–Associated Hospitalization Surveillance Network.

Cumulative (A) and weekly (B) COVID-19–associated hospitalization rates*,† among children aged <18 years, by age group — COVID-NET, 14 states§, March 1–July 25, 2020

Abbreviation: COVID-NET = Coronavirus Disease 2019–Associated Hospitalization Surveillance Network.

* Number of children in each age group hospitalized with COVID-19 per 100,000 population.

† Figure B shows the 3-week moving average of weekly hospitalization rates for children in each age group hospitalized with COVID-19 per 100,000 population. A trend test was conducted using weighted linear regression, where the weight for each week was the inverse of the variance. Trend test overall (<18 years): p-value <0.001.
