RESUMO

BACKGROUND: Pregnant and postpartum women infected by COVID-19 are at increased risk of adverse outcomes, including negative effects on their mental health. Brazilian maternal mortality rate due to COVID-19 is 2.5 times higher than overall mortality rates. This study aimed to understand how pregnant/postpartum women experienced the COVID-19 suspicion/investigation or confirmed infection in different Brazilian cities, the pandemic's consequences to women and their families, and their needs to improve maternal health services during public health emergencies. METHODS: We conducted a qualitative study with 27 women with COVID-19 and 6 of their family members, as part of a multicenter study among 15 maternity hospitals in Brazil. We applied in-depth interviews through telephone calls when women received the diagnostic or had a suspect infection and after 60 days. Another semi-structured interview was applied to their close family members. The interviews were considered through thematic analysis. RESULTS: From the thematic content analysis three major themes emerged from the first and second interviews: (Cucinotta and Vanelli, 2020) assistance received by the woman and newborn in the medical services; (World Health Organization (WHO) 2021) stigma/fear of contamination from health workers and from family and friends reported by the women; (Allotey et al., 2020) the COVID-19 pandemic impact. CONCLUSION: Before the availability of the COVID-19 vaccine, pregnant women experienced fear of death, hospitalization, quarantine, loss of family members, and financial repercussions, resulting in physical, psychological, and socioeconomic impacts on these women's lives.

RESUMO

OBJECTIVES: To compare maternal and perinatal outcomes among women with obesity, overweight, and normal body mass index, associated with COVID-19 infection during pregnancy and postpartum. METHOD: Prospective Cohort Study, within the REBRACO (Brazilian Network of COVID-19 in Pregnancy) multicenter initiative. Confirmed positive cases of SARS-CoV-2 were included, and women categorized into three groups according to their pre-pregnancy BMI: obesity (BMI ≥ 30), overweight (BMI <30 but >25), and normal BMI. Sociodemographic, clinical, and obstetric characteristics and different maternal and perinatal outcomes were compared, and a multiple regression analysis was performed to investigate factors independently associated with adverse maternal and perinatal outcomes. RESULTS: Two hundred eighty-nine women positive for SARS-CoV-2 infection were considered, and 202 had available data on maternal BMI for the current analysis. Overall, 72 (35.6%)obese, 68 (33.6%) overweight, and 60 (29.7%) normal BMI. Obesity was associated with increased adverse clinical outcomes including sepsis (P = 0.02), acute respiratory distress syndrome (P = 0.002), and the need for mechanical ventilation (P = 0.044). Considering perinatal outcomes, a multiple regression model confirmed obesity as an independent factor associated with adverse results (adjusted odds ratio 3.73, 95% CI 1.54-9.08). CONCLUSION: Obesity and overweight were associated with worse clinical outcomes, severe/critical COVID-19, and adverse perinatal outcomes.
