对马萨诸塞州18 000多名新生儿进行的2025年研究将怀孕期间的COVID-19产妇感染与3岁前儿童神经发育紊乱风险增加29%联系起来,其中包括自闭症、言语迟缓和运动问题。 A 2025 study of over 18,000 births in Massachusetts links maternal COVID-19 infection during pregnancy to a 29% increased risk of neurodevelopmental disorders in children by age three, including autism, speech delays, and motor issues. 该研究发表在《产科和妇科》中,发现16.3%的子宫内受病毒感染的儿童得到这种诊断,而9.7%的未受感染儿童得到这种诊断,如果感染发生在第三季度和男性中,其风险较高。 The research, published in Obstetrics & Gynecology, found that 16.3% of children exposed to the virus in utero received such diagnoses, compared to 9.7% of unexposed children, with higher risks when infection occurred in the third trimester and among males. 虽然这项研究确定了一种关联而不是因果关系,并且没有建立生物机制,但研究人员强调通过接种疫苗和预防感染来保护孕妇的重要性。 While the study identifies an association, not causation, and does not establish biological mechanisms, researchers emphasize the importance of protecting pregnant individuals through vaccination and infection prevention.
