Influence of SARS-CoV-2 variants on stillbirth rate - data from the CRONOS registry
The CRONOS data confirm a virus-type-dependent effect of the Alpha and Delta variants on the placenta with a possible causal effect on stillbirth. In the context of an infection, targeted fetal monitoring appears appropriate. A stillbirth due to COVID-19 is unlikely more than 4 weeks after infection.
