a

Individuals included in all groups for which they identified

b

Indeterminate tests were treated as positive

c

Respiratory symptoms/COVID-19 symptoms for CPD/ARDS groups and symptoms of MIS-C for MIS-C group

d

Subjective reporting of days post symptom onset for those presenting with symptoms or total days after confirmed COVID-19 exposure (reportable data available for n=16 subjects)

e

Pediatric and Adult specific scoring applied to groups; not meant for direct comparison

f

Day of admission for MIS-C, day of intubation for COVID-ARDS, day of PCR or Serology sample testing for Non MIS-C

g

i

Statistical testing for Absolute Neutrophil Count, Absolute Lymphocyte Count and Albumin done via Kruskal-Wallis one-way analysis of variance. Statistical testing for all other laboratory results done by two-tailed Mann-Whitney test. P values were calculated to 4 decimal places. Absolute Neutrophil Count and Absolute Lymphocyte Count; n=13 COVID-ARDS, n=16 MIS-C, n=27 Non MIS-C. Albumin; n=13 COVID-ARDS, n=16 MIS-C, n=15 Non MIS-C. D-dimer and Ferritin; n=13 COVID-ARDS, n=16 MIS-C. For High Sensitivity CRP; n=12 COVID-ARDS, n=16 MIS-C. Interleukin-6 and Troponin; n=11 COVID-ARDS, n=16 MIS-C. Lactate Dehydrogenase; n=12 COVID-ARDS, n=15 MIS-C. Procalcitonin; n= 13 COVID-ARDS, n=12 MIS-C.
