Retrospective cohort study shows delayed developmental milestones in children born during COVID-19, suggesting urgent intervention is needed.

Children born during the pandemic have higher rates of delayed developmental milestones, particularly in socio-emotional and language areas.
Infants born in 2020 were 1.14 times more likely to face delays in language skills compared to those born in 2017.
This retrospective cohort study analyzed data from over 182,000 children across multiple developmental domains.
Findings highlight the need for healthcare preparedness to address developmental delays during significant social changes.
