CONCLUSIONS
Individuals with DS deceased with CoVID‐19 are younger than individuals without DS. Comorbidity burden and increased risk of complications (i.e., bacterial superinfections) can influence CoVID‐19 prognosis in individuals with DS. Specific strategies to prevent and mitigate the effects of CoVID‐19 in the population with DS are needed.
