ABSTRACT Objective To characterize cognitive function in young children under 3 years of age over the past decade, and test whether exhibit different development profiles through COVID-19 pandemic. Study Design Neurocognitive data (Mullen Scales Early Learning, MSEL) were drawn from 700 healthy neurotypically developing between 2011 to 2021 without reported positive tests or clinical diagnosis SARS-CoV-2 infection. We compared MSEL composite measures (general cognition, verbal, non-verbal development) if those measured during 2020 differed significantly historical 2011-2019 values. also values a sub-cohort comprising infants 0-16 months born pandemic vs. prior. In all analyses, we included socioeconomic status, birth outcome history, maternal stress. Results A significant decrease mean population was observed references. Infants exhibited reduced non-verbal, overall performance pre-pandemic. Maternal stress not found be associated with declines but higher status protective. Conclusions reveal striking decline since onset mid-2020 showing an average 27-37 points. Further work is merited understand underlying causative factors.

Abstract Background This systematic review aims to explore the prevalence of impact COVID-19, MERS, and SARS pandemics on mental health pregnant women. Methods All MERS studies that evaluated women with/without gynaecological conditions were reported in English between December 2000 – July 2021 included. The search criteria developed based upon research question using PubMed, Science Direct, Ovid PsycINFO EMBASE databases. A wide criterion was used ensure inclusion all with existing conditions. Newcastle-Ottawa-Scale assess risk bias for included studies. Random effects model restricted maximum-likelihood estimation method applied meta-analysis I-square statistic evaluate heterogeneity across pooled rates symptoms anxiety, depression, PTSD, stress, sleep disorders 95% confidence interval (CI) computed. Results identified 217 which 638,889 or who had just given birth. There no reporting due SARS. showed birth displayed various poor including those relating depression (24.9%), anxiety (32.8%), stress (29.44%), Post Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD) (27.93%), (24.38%) during COVID-19 pandemic. Discussion It is important note this a range outcome measures does not allow direct comparisons findings. Most self-reported measure without clinical diagnoses so conclusions can be made symptom rather than illness. importance managing pregnancy after-delivery improves quality life wellbeing mothers hence developing an evidence-based approached as part pandemic preparedness would improve challenging times. Other work presented manuscript funded by any specific grants . study protocol published PROSPERO (CRD42021235356) several key objectives.

The COVID-19 pandemic represents a collective trauma that may have enduring stress effects during sensitive periods, such as pregnancy. Prenatal result in epigenetic signatures of stress-related genes (e.g., the serotonin transporter gene, SLC6A4) turn influence infants' behavioral development. In April 2020, we launched longitudinal cohort study to assess and vestiges COVID-19-related prenatal exposure mothers infants. was retrospectively assessed at birth. SLC6A4 methylation thirteen CpG sites buccal cells. Infants' temperament 3-month-age. Complete data were available from 108 mother-infant dyads. Greater significantly associated with higher seven sites. these predicted 3 months.

The COVID-19 pandemic is a collective trauma that threatening citizens' mental health resulting in increased emotional stress, reduced social support, and heightened risk for affective symptoms. present study aimed to investigate the effects of antenatal pandemic-related stress perceived support on symptoms depression anxiety mothers who were pregnant during initial outbreak northern Italy. A sample 281 was enrolled at eight maternity units first hotspot region Participants filled out online questionnaires assessing direct or indirect exposure SARS-CoV-2 virus, as well anxiety. Depressive anxious symptomatology above clinical concern, respectively, 26 32% respondents. Mothers reported no pregnancy those least one did not differ terms Continuous scores severe positively associated with prenatal negatively linked pregnancy.

An upsurge in psychological distress was documented pregnant women during the COVID-19 pandemic. We investigated with a longitudinal design whether prenatal and postnatal maternal pandemic associated lower infant socioemotional development. Pregnant (N = 468, Mage 30,00, 97.6% White) were recruited first mandatory lockdown Quebec, Canada, from April 2nd to 13th 2020 re-contacted at two months postpartum complete self-reported measures of general (i.e. not specifically related pandemic) anxio-depressive symptoms Structural equation modeling analyses performed using maximum likelihood parameter estimation. Higher significantly contributed poorer A mediation model showed that mediated association between development, whereas direct effect no longer significant. Prenatal accounted for 13.7% variance Our results call special means clinical surveillance mothers innovative (online) interventions aiming support mental health pregnancy after delivery.

Maternal infections during pregnancy, as cytomegalovirus and zika, have been consistently associated with severe newborn neurodevelopmental conditions, mainly related to vertical transmission congenital infection. However, little is known about the consequences of maternal respiratory viral infections, which are most prevalent pregnancy. The recent COVID-19 pandemic has increased interest in understanding offspring's development. This systematic review explores whether gestational deviations children below 10 years-old. search was conducted Pubmed, PsychInfo Web Science databases. 13 articles were revised, including information infection (Influenza, SARS-CoV-2 unspecified infections) neurodevelopment (global development, specific functions, temperament behavioral/emotional aspects). Controversial results reported regarding pregnancy infants' neurodevelopment. seem be subtle alterations some developmental subdomains, early motor attentional, minor problems. Further studies needed determine impact other psychosocial confounding factors.

Background Over nearly three years, the COVID-19 pandemic has had a lasting impact on people's lives and mental health worldwide with its far-reaching restrictions concerns about infections other personal consequences. Families were particularly affected showed increased stress psychological problems. Long-term effects cannot be ruled out. So far, data young families are sparse. The present longitudinal analysis ( n = 932) of CoronabaBY study investigated development parenting stress, parental affective symptoms, child's in children aged 0–3 years Germany as well potential influencing factors. Methods observational includes two measurement points over course (baseline follow-up). Data was collected by app using standardized questionnaires. Results N 932 participants, mainly mothers (94.7%) born (93.1%) higher education (61.3% at least high school diploma) comfortable financial situation participated study. Children average 14.7 months old baseline (SD: 12, range: 1–39 months). While proportion parents who perceived stressful decreased significantly from (60%) to follow-up (52.3%), (from 40.1% 45.4%). Both child problems remained constant time, infants crying/feeding/sleeping ranging above pre-pandemic comparative data. Most predictive for baseline. This also true symptoms (depression/anxiety) Conclusions Despite faded restrictions, burdened. Support services do not appear have been sufficient help out their situation. Our results indicate need action regarding low-threshold that effectively reach families. Trial registration pre-registered OSF https://osf.io/search/?q=tksh5&page=1 ).

Abstract We investigated how exogenous variation in exposure to the COVID‐19 pandemic during first year of life is related infant development, maternal mental health, and perceived stress. Ninety‐three socioeconomically diverse pregnant women were recruited before participate a longitudinal study. Infants ranged age at beginning lockdown (0–9.5 months old), thus experiencing different durations across life. The duration was not associated with family demographic characteristics, suggesting it captured variability. tested associations between this child outcomes. also examined whether mother‐reported disruptive events correlated found no association socioemotional problems, language or health stress symptoms, 12 24 months. However, we that self‐reported pandemic‐related predicted greater depression, anxiety, months, depression anxiety Socioeconomic status did moderate these associations. These findings suggest cautious optimism for infants raised period.
