Article Synopsis
- The study investigates the impact of maternal COVID-19 infection during pregnancy on the neurodevelopmental outcomes of children at 12, 18, and 24 months of age.
- It utilizes data from the ASPIRE trial, which involved a diverse cohort of over 2,000 pregnant individuals from all states and Puerto Rico, who were enrolled remotely during the pandemic.
- Results show that children exposed to maternal COVID-19 had a higher prevalence of abnormal developmental scores compared to unexposed children, particularly at 12 months, indicating a potential link between the infection and developmental delays.
