Abstract

Objective. To analyze the effect of COVID-19, carried during pregnancy, on clinical outcomes of pregnancy and intrapartum development of children.

Material and methods. We retrospectively analyzed 75 medical and delivery records of women who had COVID-19 during pregnancy in 2021–2022, as well as neonatal developmental histories and outpatient records of children.

Results. Women who underwent COVID-19 during pregnancy had an increased risk of preterm delivery, cesarean section; neonates were found to have a low Apgar score and a higher likelihood of intensive care unit hospitalization.
