Descriptive quantitative case series and qualitative narrative study. The quantitative component included 44 women who were direct survivors of an explosive device and the qualitative component that included 10 of them with sexual dysfunction. Convenient sampling was used. Healthcare records were the sources of information.

Materiales y métodos: estudio de cohorte retrospectivo descriptivo. Se incluyeron mujeres con 20 semanas o más de gestación con diagnóstico de infección por COVID-19 atendidas en un hospital de referencia nacional del Seguro Social del Perú entre marzo y diciembre del 2020; se excluyeron mujeres cuya gestación no culminó en la institución participante. Las variables medidas fueron: características sociodemográficas y obstétricas de la gestante, nexo epidemiológico, severidad de la infección por COVID-19, síntomas y datos de laboratorio, morbi-mortalidad materna, presencia de anticuerpos en el recién nacido, peso, adaptación y mortalidad perinatal. El análisis fue descriptivo. El protocolo fue aprobado por el comité de ética en investigación del Instituto de Evaluación de Tecnologías en Salud e Investigación de EsSalud. Resultados: los criterios de inclusión y exclusión fueron cumplidos por 322 mujeres. La población de estudio se caracterizó por ser predominantemente mujeres menores de 35 años, con educación superior. El 95% de las gestantes presentó síntomas leves o imperceptibles. Los síntomas predominantes fueron fiebre (85%), tos (52%) y cefalea (18%); se documentó leucocitosis (31%), linfopenia (24%) y trombocitopenia (5%).
