Background: Healthcare workers (HCW) are at risk of developing anxiety and other mental health symptoms while rendering health services during Coronavirus Disease 2019 (COVID 19) pandemic. Current study is probably first of its kind to quantify the anxiety levels among pediatricians along with its potential risk factors. Aim : The aim of the study was to find the prevalence of anxiety using the generalized anxiety disorder (GAD-7) score among pediatricians during COVID-19 pandemic. Design This was a cross-sectional web-based survey. Materials and Methods: Data were collected from 702 pediatricians over a period of 10 days using online Electronic “Survey Monkey” questionnaire as the survey tool. Statistical Analysis Categorical variables are expressed as ratios and proportions. Numerical variables are expressed as median (range). Analysis was performed using non-parametric tests as applicable. Results: 702 pediatricians responded to the survey. Mean GAD score was 8.48 ± 5.64 and prevalence of anxiety was 72.65%. Significant anxiety was seen in 281 (40.03%). Mean GAD score was significantly high in female gender, age between 25 and 40 years, married pediatricians and among front line workers. Conclusions: This study is first of its kind from India assessing anxiety among pediatricians reflecting mental health among HCW. Female pediatricians and pediatricians who are married are at risk of having significant anxiety. We recommend formation of social support circles to maintain optimal mental health of all HCW.

Abstract Background Children born very preterm (VP) display altered growth in corticolimbic structures compared with full-term peers. Given the association between the cortiocolimbic system and anxiety, this study aimed to compare developmental trajectories of corticolimbic regions in VP children with and without anxiety diagnosis at 13 years. Methods MRI data from 124 VP children were used to calculate whole brain and corticolimbic region volumes at term-equivalent age (TEA), 7 and 13 years. The presence of an anxiety disorder was assessed at 13 years using a structured clinical interview. Results VP children who met criteria for an anxiety disorder at 13 years (n = 16) displayed altered trajectories for intracranial volume (ICV, p < 0.0001), total brain volume (TBV, p = 0.029), the right amygdala (p = 0.0009) and left hippocampus (p = 0.029) compared with VP children without anxiety (n = 108), with trends in the right hippocampus (p = 0.062) and left medial orbitofrontal cortex (p = 0.079). Altered trajectories predominantly reflected slower growth in early childhood (0–7 years) for ICV (β = −0.461, p = 0.020), TBV (β = −0.503, p = 0.021), left (β = −0.518, p = 0.020) and right hippocampi (β = −0.469, p = 0.020) and left medial orbitofrontal cortex (β = −0.761, p = 0.020) and did not persist after adjusting for TBV and social risk. Conclusions Region- and time-specific alterations in the development of the corticolimbic system in children born VP may help to explain an increase in anxiety disorders observed in this population.
