Abstract

Purpose - to analyze clinical and laboratory changes in women with mild to moderate coronavirus disease, the frequency of gestational complications depending on the course of the disease. Materials and methods. 120 pregnant women of the main group with coronavirus disease were involved in the clinical and laboratory examination. The control group consisted of 40 women with gestational age from 22 to 41 weeks, whose pregnancy was not complicated by coronavirus disease. The course of the disease and the impact of coronavirus infection on the course of pregnancy were evaluated by the results of general - clinical, laboratory and instrumental examinations. Results. The surveyed women underwent treatment in the period from 2021 to 2022 at the Communal Non-profit Enterprise «Kyiv City Center for Reproductive and Perinatal Medicine». The mild course of disease had 48 (40%) pregnant women, the course of coronavirus disease of moderate severity had 72 (60%) pregnant women. Symptoms of coronavirus disease observed in pregnant women: hyperthermia - body t≥37.0oC (85 (70.8%) women), general weakness (103 (85.8%) women), loss of smell and taste (27 (22.5%) women), catarhal phenomena (69 (57.5%) women). Decrease in saturation to 92-94% was noted at 18 (15%) pregnant women. The following complications of pregnancy were observed: the threat of premature birth, oligohydramnios, polyhydramnios, fetal growth retardation, structural changes in the placenta according to ultrasound examination of the fetus, violation of fetal-placental blood flow I-II centuries. Conclusions. Given the data of the analysis, it is possible to identify certain features of clinical and laboratory manifestations of coronavirus disease. The most common clinical manifestations are hyperthermia and general weakness. Features of changes in laboratory blood parameters are as follows: leukopenia, lymphocytopenia, increased C-reactive protein and D-dimer, decreased activated partial thromboplastin time, increased prothrombin time, increased total fibrinogen. The most common complications in pregnant women with mild to moderate coronavirus disease: the risk of premature birth, structural changes of the placenta and oligohydramnios. The research was carried out in accordance with the principles of the Helsinki Declaration. The study protocol was approved by the Local Ethics Committee of all participating institutions.
