Post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) in parents of children with type 1 diabetes during Covid-19 pandemic
Introduction The Post-traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD) is a group of persistent psychological and physiological symptoms due to a traumatic, severe, event. Only few studies focused on the effects of Covid-19 on psychosocial outcomes in children with Type 1 Diabetes (T1D) and their parents. Aim of the study The aim of this study was to evaluate the presence PTSD in parents of children with T1D during COVID-19 pandemic lockdown. Patients and methods In the period between March and May 2020 we submitted the "Impact of Event Scale - Revised" (IES-R) questionnaire to the parents of 34 children with Type 1 Diabetes, asking them to express their emotions about the ongoing Covid-19 pandemic. Results A total of thirty mothers (mean age 43.0 +/- 4.2 years) and 25 fathers (mean age 45.6 +/- 5.9 years) participated in the survey and completed the questionnaires. 29.1% of parents had a score that allows to define a clinically relevant level of PTSD; ten mothers and 6 fathers had a PTSD clinically relevant score, corresponding, respectively, to 28.4 and 24% of total mothers and fathers. Finally, mothers and fathers, both express PTSD symptoms mainly in the form of intrusion and hyperarousal. Conclusions The present study confirms a high prevalence symptoms related to PTSD in mothers and fathers of children with Type 1 Diabetes. We believe that psychosocial outcomes of the COVID-19 pandemic should be taken into account in the planning of the next future assistance for children with T1D

Preterm infants with severe extrauterine growth retardation (EUGR) are at high risk of growth impairment during childhood
Extrauterine growth retardation (EUGR) seriously affects premature newborns and is related to the impairment of growth during childhood. There are very limited data available concerning the growth outcome of EUGR children. Our aim was to assess the growth outcome in a cohort of children born before 34 weeks of gestation with severe EUGR. This was a retrospective multicenter study, performed in outpatient endocrinology clinic. A total of 103 premature children with weight and/or length below -2 standard deviation score (SDS) of "intrauterine" growth expectation at the time of discharge from hospital (within 42 weeks of postmenstrual age) were included in the study. The study participants underwent a thorough anthropometric assessment at a mean age of 3.9 years ± 1.7 SD. Of the EUGR children, 12.6 % showed a height below -2 SDS and 7.7 % even below -2.5 SDS. Growth impairment was more common in males than in females (17 vs. 8 %). The prevalence of subnormal weight (below -2 SDS) was 13.6 %, being higher in males than in females (17 vs. 10 %). BMI values below -2 SDS were found in 18.4 % of our study population (22.7 % in males and 12 % in females). The 19.6 % of EUGR children did not catch up in head circumference during early childhood. Length at term was the major predictor of height in childhood (P < 0.001). Conclusion: A significant proportion of children born prematurely with severe EUGR show growth retardation in childhood thus suggesting the need for a close clinical follow-up to determine their growth potential and implement effective intervention strategies
