COVID-19 POZİTİF GEBELERLE YAPILAN MATERNAL, FETAL VE NEONATAL ÇALIŞMALARIN İNCELENMESİ:DURUM İNCELEMESİ

This study is a case review investigating the literature on COVID-19 positive pregnant women. The aim of the research is to understand the effects of COVID-19 on pregnancy and neonatal health, as well as to highlight the clinical course, complications, and management strategies associated with these effects.The study is limited to scientific articles published between 2020 and 2024. The literature review was conducted using databases such as PubMed, Scopus, Web of Science, Google Scholar, and the YOK thesis database. The search utilized the following keywords in Turkish: "Kovid-19 ve gebelik," "koronavirus ve gebelik," "SARS-CoV-2 ve gebelik," "SARS virusu ve gebelik," and in English: "Covid-19 and pregnancy," "Coronavirus and pregnancy," "SARS-CoV-2 and pregnancy," "SARS and pregnancy."A total of 17 articles (Total Sample Size: 20,995) that met the inclusion criteria were collected and analyzed using content analysis methods. The researchers employed structured data collection forms for a systematic review. These forms facilitated the organized recording of information obtained from the studies. The thematic categories identified included: Neonatal Effects: 1, 3, 7; Breastfeeding: 1, 11, 13; Perinatal Outcomes: 2, 4, 14; Psychological Effects: 6, 10; Maternal Outcomes: 4, 12, 14, 16; Histopathological Findings: 9, 15; Intensive Care Management: 17; Transmission and Isolation: 3, 8, 11.The findings of the research indicate that there is insufficient evidence for vertical transmission of COVID-19 to newborns; however, it can lead to serious maternal and perinatal outcomes during pregnancy. Particularly in severe cases, there is an increased rate of preterm birth, preeclampsia, and emergency cesarean sections. Additionally, it has been determined that COVID-19 causes high levels of anxiety, depression, and stress among pregnant women.In conclusion, it has been concluded that further research is needed to understand the effects of COVID-19 on pregnancy and newborns.
