“…In contrast, the ADHD prevalence rates of 22.7% in girls and 23.3% in boys were higher than expected as compared to usual ADHD prevalence rates [ 41 , 47 , 48 ]. These findings were in line with the finding of elevated hyperactivity symptoms in German children and adolescents during the COVID-19 pandemic [ 46 ] and hold true, even when comparing them with the age groups with the highest ADHD prevalence [ 42 ] and with prevalence rates of subthreshold ADHD [ 49 , 50 ]. Furthermore, girls usually have a lower ADHD prevalence rate [ 41 , 42 , 43 ], whereas, in our sample, the prevalence rates of girls and boys were almost identical.…”

“…These countries experienced more severe circumstances due to the epidemic in terms of cases and mortality and, therefore, had more strict measures imposed by these governments compared to Switzerland. In a general population sample of German children and adolescents, the prevalence rate of generalized anxiety was 24.1% during the COVID-19 pandemic [ 46 ]. The same study reported a prevalence rate of 14.9% in another general population sample of German children and adolescents examined before the pandemic, a rate that is similar to the prevalence rates that we found.…”

The present study aimed to assess various stressful situations and the psychological impact of the first COVID-19 pandemic lockdown among youths in Switzerland. We included samples of 1627 young adults aged 19–24 from the Swiss Youth Epidemiological Study on Mental Health and 1146 children and adolescents aged 12–17 years and their parents. We assessed symptoms of various mental health problems, internet use, and perceived stress during the first COVID-19 lockdown. In the analyses, data were weighted to be representative of the Swiss population. During the first lockdown in Switzerland, the most common sources of perceived stress were the disruption of social life and important activities, uncertainty about how long the state of affairs would last, and the pandemic itself. In addition, around one-fifth of the young adults met the criteria for at least one of the mental health problems (attention deficit hyperactivity disorder, depression, generalized anxiety disorder), while one-third of children/adolescents screened positive for at least one of the mental health problems (attention deficit hyperactivity disorder, oppositional defiant disorder, depression, anxiety). Moreover, 30.1% of children and 21.3% of young adults met the criteria for problematic internet use. The study showed considerable stress perceived by young adults and symptoms of mental health problems, especially among females, during the first COVID-19 lockdown in Switzerland.

“…Managing with the current situation and complying with the current restrictions on top of this can be especially difficult for children and adolescents since these circumstances can be experienced as being incongruent with their developmental tasks. The challenges and consequences of COVID-19 might therefore have a tremendous impact on their HRQoL [ 13 ]. In this regard, previous to COVID-19 pandemic, anxiety was the main mental disorder in both, children, and adolescents, with more than 15% of this population affected by this disorder [ 14 ].…”

The aim of the present systematic review was to assess and provide an up-to-date analysis of the impact of coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic on the health-related quality of life (HRQoL) of children and adolescents. Thus, an electronic search of the literature, in two well-known databases (PubMed and Web of Science), was performed until February 2021 (without date restriction). PRISMA guideline methodology was employed and data regarding the HRQoL were extracted from eligible studies. Articles were included if they met the following inclusion criteria: (a) children and/or adolescent population (4 to 19 years old); (b) HRQoL as a main assessment; (c) German, Spanish, Portuguese, French, and English language; and (d) pre-pandemic and during pandemic HRQoL data. Following the initial search, 241 possible related articles were identified. A total of 79 articles were identified as duplicates. Moreover, 129 articles were removed after reading the title and abstract. Of the remaining 33 articles, 27 were removed since they were not focused on children or adolescents (n = 19), articles did not report pre- and post- pandemic HRQoL values (n = 6), articles were not focused on HRQoL (n = 6), and one article was an editorial. Finally, six studies fulfilled the inclusion criteria and, therefore, were included in the systematic review. A total of 3177 children and/or adolescents during COVID-19 were included in this systematic review. Three articles showed that COVID-19 pandemic significantly impacted the HRQoL of children and adolescents, and another did not report comparison between pre- and during COVID-19 pandemic, although a reduction in the HRQoL can be observed. Nevertheless, two articles did not find significant changes and another one did not report p-values. Regarding sex differences, only two studies analyzed this topic, observing no differences between girls and boys in the impact of COVID-19 pandemic on HRQoL. Taking into account these results, this systematic review might confirm that COVID-19 has a negative impact on the HRQoL of children and/or adolescents.

“…Patients with immunodeficiency, even pre-pandemic, had lower health-related quality of life (HRQoL) than healthy peers and those with other chronic conditions 69 . With the onset of COVID-19, a nationwide pediatric healthy cohort of 1,586 families from Germany reported lower HRQoL (measured by KIDSCREEN-10), more mental health problems (measured by SDQ) and increased anxiety (measured by SCARED) than pre-pandemic 70 . While not yet formally assessed, it is anticipated that similar trends exist in immunocompromised patients.…”

Impact of COVID-19 on Pediatric Immunocompromised Patients

Synopsis: Although living with the threat of severe infection is a constant worry for many pediatric immunocompromised patients, the pandemic begotten by the severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus-2 (SARS-CoV-2) created new fears and challenges for families and health care providers. As people around the world through government directive or independent choice moved into protective isolation, immunosuppressed children who routinely require medical management were challenged with necessary public ventures to health care facilities. Medical centers adapted by developing new approaches to care for immunocompromised children such as expanding telemedicine services and conversion to at home immune therapies to reduce infectious exposure. Testing for SARS-CoV-2 of asymptomatic patients prior to medical therapies became routine in most modern health care units and development of highly sensitive assays was critical to avoid patient and staff exposure as well as initiation of new immunosuppressive treatment in positive patients. As the prevalence of coronavirus disease (COVID-19) amplified and infected immunocompromised patients became more common, questions quickly arose including how aggressively to treat the infection with most agents still in clinical trials. Additionally how should chronic immunosuppressant drugs that may interfere with the ability to clear the virus be adjusted? Finally, what if the infection leads to excessive immune responses or flares of the underlying disorder? In this review, we explore the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on immunocompromised children during the first year, summarizing what is known and yet to be discovered, approaches to testing and treatment of SARS-CoV-2, considerations in management of underlying immune suppressive medications, outcomes published to date, and strategies for vaccinating this unique population.
