AB  - INTRODUCTION: We aimed to describe the clinical profile and risk factors for 
      severe disease in adolescents hospitalised with coronavirus disease 2019 
      (COVID-19). METHODS: A retrospective analysis of an admitted cohort of COVID-19 
      patients was performed at a tertiary hospital in North India. Adolescents aged 
      12-18 years who were hospitalised during the first wave (March-December, 2020) 
      and the second wave (March-June, 2021) were included. Data on the demographic 
      details, clinical presentation, laboratory parameters, disease severity at 
      admission, treatments received, and in-hospital outcomes were retrieved. RESULTS: 
      The study included 197 adolescents with a median [inter-quartile range (IQR)] age 
      of 15 (13-17) years, of whom 117 (59.4%) were male. Among these, 170 (86.3%) were 
      admitted during the first wave. Underlying co-morbidities were present in nine 
      (4.6%) patients. A total of 60 (30.9%) patients were asymptomatic. In the 
      severity grading, 148 (84.6%) had mild, 16 (9.1%) had moderate, and 11 (6.3%) had 
      severe disease. Fever (14.9%) and cough (14.9%) were the most commonly 
      encountered symptoms. The median (IQR) duration of hospital stay was 10 (8-13) 
      days, and six (3.1%) patients died in the hospital. CONCLUSION: Adolescents 
      admitted with COVID-19 had predominantly asymptomatic or mild disease, and the 
      mortality rate was 3.1%.
