Abstract
Background: Most COVID-19 infected pregnant women are asymptomatic, but in some cases, severe lung infections have been observed, resulting in a higher mortality rate compared to non-pregnant patients. Pregnant patients with COVID-19 infection increase risk of preeclampsia, low birth weight, and stillbirth.
Objective: To determine clinical manifestations, maternal and perinatal outcomes of pregnant women with COVID-19 infection
Methods: This study was a retrospective study collecting data from medical records of COVID-19 infected pregnant women who were delivered at Buri Ram Hospital. All cases were tested by RT-PCR or rapid antigen test. Data were analyzed using descriptive statistics.
Results: During July 2021-December 2022, there were 185 pregnant women with COVID-19 infection, were delivered in Buri Ram Hospital. The mean(±SD) age was 27.4±6.8 years. The mean±SD of gestational age at time of infection was 37.2±4.6 weeks. 1.6 percent of pregnant women with COVID-19 infection had history of infection in family. The most cases had mild symptoms such as fever, cough and running nose. 1.1% of patients had severe pneumonia which needed intubation and admitted in intensive care unit. The mortality rate was 0.54%. Among infants born to SARS-CoV-2-infected mothers, 18% were preterm, 18% had low-birth weight,4% were asphyxia and no neonatal COVID-19 infection was detected.
Conclusions: Most of COVID-19 infected pregnant women had mild symptoms and were cured. All newborns were not infected COVID-19.
