If anyone wants to clarify a better way to write it out, I'm all ears. Newer to this platform and more familiar with Twitter (where editorialization abounds).
My thought was just that most people wouldn't get the core info out of a long JAMA article, since the unique addition of this study as it was circulated on medtwitter, was the low rate of hospitalization. So thought some editorialization was necessary.
I'm newer to Reddit, so if that would be preferred I'll take note. I didn't want to state it as fact, rather than study finds, because this study was fairly unique when compared to previous research.
I'm not a science journalist. I highlighted that detail because most of this information isn't new, as the authors note: "many of the cases of myocarditis or pericarditis were mild and required either no treatment or were managed conservatively with NSAIDs, similar to what has been reported in other studies."
What is actually new is the finding that many weren't hospitalized, and that those who were had a shorter duration than previously recorded: "Almost all episodes were seen in an emergency department, fewer than one-half of adolescents were admitted to hospital, and those who were hospitalized experienced a short length of stay (median duration: 1 day)."
