Kaplan-Meier survival analysis was used to evaluate the probability of developing new mental disorders (any codes in International Classification of Diseases, Tenth Revision, Clinical Modification (ICD-10-CM) F01-F99 category and suicidal behaviors) within 2 years post infection, compared to the propensity score-matched youth who were never infected.<\/p>\n<p><strong class=\"sub-title\">Results:\u00a0<\/strong>Within 2 years post SARS-CoV-2 infection, children had a probability of 0.15 in acquiring new psychiatric diagnoses, compared to 0.026 for matched non-infected children; adolescents had a 0.19 probability against 0.05 for their non-infected counterparts. The hazard ratio (HR) was 6.0 (95% CI = 5.8-6.3) for children and 4.2 for adolescents (95% CI = 4.1-4.4), with children vs adolescents HR of 1.4 (95% CI = 1.36-1.51). Elevated HRs were observed for almost all subcategories of mental disorders and suicidal behaviors, with variations based on sex, severity of SARS-CoV-2 infection, and viral variants. COVID-19 was similar to other respiratory infections in increasing the rate of mental disorders in adolescents, but had a significantly higher effect on children (HR = 1.57, 95% CI =1.53-1.61).<\/p>\n<p>Read more <a href=\"https:\/\/pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov\/38815620\/\">https:\/\/pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov\/38815620\/<\/a><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p><\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>\u5c0d\u4e0d\u8d77\uff0c\u6b64\u5185\u5bb9\u53ea\u9069\u7528\u65bcEnglish\u3002By Yanli Zhang-James et al.
