Boys born to mothers with COVID-19 could face brain-development issues at a rate twice that of others, a new study found.
The study involved more than 18,000 children born at eight hospitals in Massachusetts. Almost 900 of them were born to women who had COVID-19 while pregnant.
Those issues can be associated with autism among older children, but “it’s way too soon to reliably diagnose autism” in the children studied, Roy Perlis, MD, told"All we can hope to detect at this point are more subtle sorts of things like delays in language and speech, and delays in motor milestones,” he said."Most children of moms who have COVID during pregnancy won't have neurodevelopmental consequences even if there is some increase in risk.
