Abstract

Pediatric-specific studies on Stevens–Johnson Syndrome (SJS) and Toxic Epidermal Necrolysis (TEN) are lacking. The objective of this study was to characterize demographics, comorbidities, and outcomes of pediatric SJS and TEN patients on a national level. On average, pediatric SJS/TEN patients were hospitalized longer and had higher mortality rates compared to reports in most previous studies. Better access to dermatologic and multidisciplinary care may help improve pediatric outcomes, although these findings must be corroborated in future studies on larger pediatric populations with SJS and TEN.
