Key Points Question Is asymptomatic or mild maternal SARS-CoV-2 infection compared with no infection during pregnancy associated with observable infant neurodevelopmental differences at ages 5 to 11 months? Findings In this cohort study involving a geographically diverse cohort of 407 infants born to 403 mothers, no association was found between mild or asymptomatic maternal SARS-CoV-2 infection during pregnancy and infant cognition, language, or motor development as assessed by a novel telehealth-adapted version of the Developmental Assessment of Young Children, second edition. Meaning Given the continued high prevalence of SARS-CoV-2 infection globally, these data offer information regarding infant neurodevelopment that may be helpful for pregnant individuals with asymptomatic or mild SARS-CoV-2 infections.
