Fetal mortality before and during the COVID-19 pandemic: a single-center cohort study in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil
No significant differences were observed in maternal or fetal characteristics, prepartum complications, or fetal mortality rates between the pre-pandemic and pandemic periods in this private hospital setting. However, this does not reflect the broader Brazilian healthcare reality, where disparities in access and resources may have influenced outcomes differently.
