Pregnant hospitalized COVID-19 patients: disease, delivery, maternal and fetal outcomes
Pregnant women hospitalized for COVID-19 may experience differences in clinical care and medical treatment received compared to non-pregnant women, including higher rates of non-invasive respiratory support. Pregnant women may be more likely to experience higher rates of preterm birth and infants may be more likely to need neonatal intensive care. Maternal outcomes from COVID-19 hospitalization may worsen as pregnancy progresses to later trimesters. Lower likelihood of experiencing poor outcomes may be attributed to vaccination.
