Field studies show an increased mental distress in children and adolescents during the COVID-19 pandemic. This health care data based study investigates, whether this corresponds with an increased number of diagnosed mental disorders in pediatric practices during the COVID-19 pandemics.
Data are based on children aged 2-17 years who visited one of 154 pediatric practices (Disease Analyzer database/IQVIA) at least once. Descriptive analyses were conducted.
In 2020 and 2021, significantly more mental disorders were diagnosed compared to the two previous years (chi p < 0.001). An increase was particularly evident in affective disorders, although absolute numbers were small with an average increase of 7 patients per practice per year.
The pandemic-associated increase in mental disorders in children and adolescents is reflected in the physician-diagnosed cases in pediatric practices, but is small in terms of numbers in individual practices.
实地研究表明，在新冠疫情期间儿童和青少年的心理困扰有所增加。这项基于医疗保健数据的研究调查了在新冠疫情期间，这是否与儿科诊所中被诊断出的精神障碍病例数量增加相对应。
数据基于2至17岁的儿童，他们至少去过154家儿科诊所中的一家（疾病分析仪数据库/艾昆纬）。进行了描述性分析。
与前两年相比，2020年和2021年被诊断出的精神障碍显著增多（卡方检验p<0.001）。情感障碍的增加尤为明显，尽管绝对数量较少，每家诊所每年平均增加7例患者。
儿童和青少年中与疫情相关的精神障碍增加在儿科诊所医生诊断的病例中有所体现，但就个体诊所的数量而言较少。
