ABSTRACT
OBJECTIVES:
To report clinical data on maternal outcome, mode of delivery and immediate neonatal outcome in women infected with COVID-19.METHODS:
Retrospective data collection.RESULTS:
A total of 8.6% of the total population of hospitalised SARS-CoV-2 positive pregnant women were admitted to a critical care unit. The premature birth rate for births before 34+0 weeks of gestation among pregnant women who tested positive for SARS-CoV-2 was 7.1%. One newborn (3.6%) tested positive for SARS-CoV-2 two days after birth and showed symptoms.CONCLUSIONS:
Pregnant women with COVID-19 seem to be at higher risk of invasive ventilation, admission to a critical care unit and preterm birth, and should therefore be considered a high-risk-population.Key words
