Keywords:
COVID 19, pregnancy, vaccine, birth asphyxiaAbstract
study aimed to study the pregnancy outcomes among pregant women who got infection during pregnancy, including the effects of the vaccination. This was a retrospective cohort study of all pregnant women who gave birth in 2022 from data in the Health Data Center of Chiang Mai Provincial Health Office and vaccination data from the Ministry of Public Health. Of the 9,073 pregnant women who delivered singletons in hospitals in Chiang Mai Province between January 1 and December 31, 2022, 8.93% had a history of COVID-19 infection during pregnancy. The study found no statistically significant differences between all 771 infected pregnancy and who didn’t infect, in terms of preterm birth, low birth weight, and birth asphyxia. However, the proportion of birth asphyxia in neonates was lower among infected pregnancy who received the vaccine than in those who did not (RR 0.64, 95% CI = 0.35-1.15). Although this study found no statistically significant associations, continuous data monitoring is necessary to determine vaccination policies in pregnant women to reduce severe illness and prevent adverse effects on fetuses, which may have long-term effects on children in the future.
