Among hospitalized adolescents, nearly 1 in 3 required ICU admission, 5% required invasive mechanical ventilation, and no deaths occurred. The rate of hospitalization was lower than among adults 18 year or older, but higher than among children aged 5-11 and exceeded seasonal influenza-associated hospitalizations during comparable periods.
