Abstract
Objective: To examine the relationship between gestational COVID-19 and perinatal-neonatal outcomes.
Study design: Prospective cohort study. Neonates born at Hospital del Mar (Barcelona) between 2020 and 2022 were classified into two cohorts according to their mother's COVID-19 status during pregnancy. Prenatal and postnatal variables were compared between the COVID-19 and the control cohort, and depending on timing and severity of maternal infection.
Results: We included 2701 neonates and observed higher rates of respiratory distress (5.7% vs 3.3%, p = 0.044) and pathological jaundice (7.7% vs 4.1%, p = 0.007) in the COVID-19 cohort, without differences between trimesters. We did not find statistically significant differences in other perinatal outcomes. The logistic regression analyses showed that maternal COVID-19 was not a risk factor for prematurity (OR:1.23;CI:0.75-2.03; p = 0.407).
Conclusions: Infants born to mothers with COVID-19 during pregnancy in our hospital showed higher rates of respiratory distress and pathological jaundice, without increased rates of prematurity or other morbidities.
期刊介绍:
The Journal of Perinatology provides members of the perinatal/neonatal healthcare team with original information pertinent to improving maternal/fetal and neonatal care. We publish peer-reviewed clinical research articles, state-of-the art reviews, comments, quality improvement reports, and letters to the editor. Articles published in the Journal of Perinatology embrace the full scope of the specialty, including clinical, professional, political, administrative and educational aspects. The Journal also explores legal and ethical issues, neonatal technology and product development.
The Journal’s audience includes all those that participate in perinatal/neonatal care, including, but not limited to neonatologists, perinatologists, perinatal epidemiologists, pediatricians and pediatric subspecialists, surgeons, neonatal and perinatal nurses, respiratory therapists, pharmacists, social workers, dieticians, speech and hearing experts, other allied health professionals, as well as subspecialists who participate in patient care including radiologists, laboratory medicine and pathologists.
