Covid-19 pandemic in children born very premature with dysexecutive disorders: impact of isolation measures and/or neurobehavioral phenotype? A cross sectional study

School-age children born very prematurely with dysexecutive disorders considered that the social distancing measures introduced during the pandemic (Covid-19) did not impact their quality of life when they returned to school, unlike school-age children born at term. Facial and emotion recognition disorders inherent in very preterm birth were minimized by social distancing measures. Identifying an impairment risk of specific social reasoning in premature children should enable the implementation of early circumvention measures from neonatology onwards, with the aim of minimizing its impact.
