The manuscript by Martella and coworkers titled “Pediatric hospitalizations over three waves of COVID-19 (February 2020 to May 2021) in Italy: determinants and rates” describes trends in hospitalizations of children and adolescents ages 0-17 in Piedmont region in Italy. The study identified that pediatric hospitalizations followed the trend of adult hospitalizations across the three waves and children at age 0-4 years, males and foreigners were more likely to be admitted in hospital than others. The study was designed well, and manuscript was written well.
I ask authors to check their figure and make sure that they have all the essential components such as axis labels, tick marks and axis titles.
