Multiple studies have indicated a greater risk of neonatal morbidity and mortality when births occur in out-of-hospital settings.

Children exposed to maternal COVID-19 during pregnancy showed lower birth weight, lower birth BMI, and accelerated postnatal weight gain, compared with those unexposed.

A 12-week study in Egypt of the efficacy of fluoxetine (a selective serotonin reuptake inhibitor) in children with treatment-refractory nocturnal enuresis (NE) found that though the treatment achieved a good initial response, it was not sustainable.

Children treated after presenting spinal muscular atrophy (SMA) symptoms maintained all previously achieved motor milestones up to 7.5 years post-dosing.
