For your Consideration: Myocarditis in QLD Hospitals from 19’ to 22’

The following data on Acute Myocarditis and Myocarditis is from the Emergency Departments of Queensland Health Hospitals.
*The diagnosis at time of ED admission and discharge is not always a definitive diagnosis.*

***Date: 30th of June 2021, until the 30th of June 2022***

Acute Myocarditis = 302
Under 40’s = 218 (72%)
Tested Positive for Covid = 10

Myocarditis = 141
Under 40’s = 92 (65%)
Tested Positive for Covid = 6

***Date: 30th of June 2020, until the 30th of June 2021***

Acute Myocarditis = 112
Under 40’s = 78 (69%)
Tested Positive for Covid = 0

Myocarditis = 50
Under 40’s = 34 (68%)
Tested Positive for Covid = 0

***Date: 30th of June 2019, until the 30th of June 2020***

Acute Myocarditis = 104
Under 40’s = 64 (61%)

Myocarditis = 28
Under 40’s = 19 (68%)

***Date: 30th of June 2018, until the 30th of June 2019***

Acute Myocarditis = 104
Myocarditis = 32

From June 2021 until June 2022, there was 188 additional cases above the yearly average for Acute Myocarditis. Using the rate of 72%, there was around 135 additional cases in those aged under 40 against the yearly average.

As a ratio, for each positive covid case associated with Acute Myocarditis, 13 cases of Acute Myocarditis occurred in under 40’s from ‘unknown causes’.

From June 2021 until June 2022, there was 105 additional cases above the yearly average of Myocarditis. Using the rate of 65%, there was around 68 additional cases in those under 40.

As a ratio, for each positive covid case associated with Myocarditis, 11 cases of Myocarditis occurred in under 40’s from ‘unknown causes’.

In an Emergency Department setting, the evidence may suggest that for those under 40, the risk of both Acute Myocarditis and Myocarditis from ‘unknown causes’ far exceeds the associated risk from covid 19 infection.
