Abstract
Introduction: This study aimed to estimate the incidence of SARS-CoV-2 infection among pregnant women during the first pandemic wave in Italy, and to describe COVID-19 disease characteristics and maternal and perinatal outcomes.
Materials and methods: National population-based prospective cohort study collecting information on women with SARS-CoV-2 diagnosis, confirmed within 7 days from hospital admission.
Results: The national SARS-CoV-2 rate was 6.04 per 1,000 births (95% CI 5.62-6.49) among pregnant women and 7.54 (95% CI 7.47-7.61) among women in reproductive age. 72.1% of the cohort developed mild COVID-19 disease without pneumonia nor need for ventilatory support. Severe disease was significantly associated with women's previous comorbidities (OR 2.55; 95% CI 0.98-6.90), obesity (OR 4.76; 95% CI 1.79-12.66) and citizenship from High Migration Pressure Countries (OR 3.43; 95% CI 1.27-9.25).
Conclusions: During the first pandemic wave in Italy, the SARS-CoV-2 rate among pregnant women was lower compared to that detected among women of reproductive age, and risks of severe COVID-19 disease and adverse maternal and perinatal outcomes were rare.
前言:本研究旨在估计意大利第一波大流行期间孕妇中SARS-CoV-2感染的发生率,并描述COVID-19疾病特征和孕产妇和围产期结局。材料和方法:以全国人群为基础的前瞻性队列研究,收集入院后7天内确诊为SARS-CoV-2的妇女的信息。结果:全国孕妇SARS-CoV-2感染率为6.04‰(95% CI 5.62 ~ 6.49),育龄妇女为7.54‰(95% CI 7.47 ~ 7.61)。72.1%的队列出现轻度COVID-19疾病,无肺炎,不需要呼吸支持。严重疾病与女性既往合并症显著相关(OR 2.55;95% CI 0.98-6.90),肥胖(OR 4.76;95% CI 1.79-12.66)和来自高移民压力国家的公民身份(OR 3.43;95% ci 1.27-9.25)。结论:在意大利第一波大流行期间,孕妇中SARS-CoV-2的检出率低于育龄妇女,发生严重COVID-19疾病和孕产妇及围产期不良结局的风险较低。
