The Effect of <scp>COVID</scp> ‐19 During Pregnancy on Obstetric and Neonatal Outcomes: A Retrospective Case–Control Study
COVID-19 infection during pregnancy was not associated with clinically significant adverse outcomes, likely influenced by the predominant Omicron strain and high vaccination rates. Limitations of this study included lack of universal screening and a small sample size. Notwithstanding, this study provides valuable insights that reflect the current COVID-19 landscape, underscoring the need for an updated understanding as context surrounding COVID-19 infection evolves.
