O impacto do SARS-CoV-2 no neurodesenvolvimento infantil: uma revisão sistemática

Abstract

Introduction: The Covid-19 pandemic radically affected the way the entire global society functions. From then on, a collective movement of scientists from around the world began to understand the implications of this virus on society. Justification: The need to carry out work capable of clarifying controversies about the coronavirus is highlighted. It turns out that in recent months researchers from several countries have published their findings. Therefore, there is an urgent need to carry out systematic reviews to communicate the results of this enormous amount of information. Objective: This research emerges in the interest of analyzing possible correlations between SARS-CoV-2 infection and impairment in neurodevelopment in children who had contact with the virus during pregnancy or in the early stages of life (0-5 years). Methods: This research has a bibliographic character and is guided by a systematic review, supported by the parameters of the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analysis (PRISMA). Conclusions: the articles reviewed indicate a strong relationship between SARS-CoV-2 infection and the emergence of impairments in childhood neurodevelopment, especially when there is prenatal infection.
