The modified distress thermometer (m\u2010DT) was recently utilized for measuring the prevalence of psychological distress among adult COVID\u201019 patients. In the current study, we aimed to test the utilization of this m\u2010DT in screening adolescent patients with COVID\u201019 for psychological distress.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Methods<\/jats:title><jats:p>Egyptian adolescent subjects with suspected or confirmed cases of COVID\u201019 at a University Hospital were enrolled.

There were substantial differences between those with and without considerable distress regarding the length of quarantine, underlying medical disorders, and the presence of chronic respiratory conditions.

The m\u2010DT was helpful, as the current study had identified length of quarantine time, presence of chronic respiratory disease, worry, and fever as independent factors associated with significant distress in COVID\u201019 adolescents.
