Abstract

Background: Knowledge about the outcome of COVID-19 on pregnant women is so important. The published literature on the outcomes of pregnant women with COVID-19 is confusing. The aim of this study was to report our clinical experience about the effect of COVID-19 on pregnant women and to determine whether it was associated with increased mortality or an increase in the need for mechanical ventilation in this special category of patients.

Methods: This was a cohort study from some isolation hospitals of the Ministry of Health and Population, in eleven governorates, Egypt. The clinical data from the first 64 pregnant women with COVID-19 whose care was managed at some of the Egyptian hospitals from 14 March to 14 June 2020 as well as 114 non-pregnant women with COVID-19 was reviewed.

Results: The two groups did not show any significant difference regarding the main outcomes of the disease. Two cases in each group needed mechanical ventilation (p 0.617). Three cases (4.7%) died among the pregnant women and two (1.8%) died among the non-pregnant women (p 0.352).

Conclusions: The main clinical outcomes of COVID-19 were not different between pregnant and non-pregnant women with COVID-19. Based on our findings, pregnancy did not exacerbate the course or mortality of COVID-19 pneumonia.

SARS-COV2肺炎孕妇的临床评价:来自埃及的一项现实研究

背景:了解COVID-19对孕妇的影响非常重要。已发表的关于COVID-19孕妇结局的文献令人困惑。本研究的目的是报告我们关于COVID-19对孕妇影响的临床经验，并确定它是否与这类特殊患者死亡率增加或机械通气需求增加有关。方法:这是一项来自埃及11个省卫生和人口部的一些隔离医院的队列研究。对2020年3月14日至6月14日在埃及一些医院接受治疗的首批64名COVID-19孕妇以及114名未怀孕的COVID-19妇女的临床数据进行了审查。结果:两组患者的主要转归无显著性差异。两组均需机械通气2例(p = 0.617)。孕妇死亡3例(4.7%)，非孕妇死亡2例(1.8%)(p 0.352)。结论:孕妇与非孕妇感染COVID-19的主要临床结局无差异。根据我们的研究结果，怀孕不会加剧COVID-19肺炎的病程或死亡率。
