The study’s authors emphasized that, as an observational study, the findings do not prove that covid-19 causes the conditions diagnosed in children, but rather signal an association between maternal infection and these outcomes. And the risk of such a diagnosis, even while elevated for women, remains extremely low, said Andrea G. Edlow, a physician scientist at Mass General Hospital and an associate professor of obstetrics and gynecology at Harvard Medical School.
