Abstract

Abstract. One of the urgent problems of modern obstetrics is the diagnosis, treatment and prevention of intrauterine growth retardation. This pathology ranks second after prematurity among the causes of the birth of children with low body weight. The frequency of intrauterine growth retardation varies in different countries of the world from 6.5-30.0% of all newborns, of which about 23% are found among children with very low body weight and about 38% with extremely low body weight. Currently, an outbreak of a new coronavirus infection continues, caused by the viral pathogen SARS-CoV-2, which contributes to the formation of thrombotic microangiopathy in combination with hypercoagulability syndrome. It is known that during physiological pregnancy, the risk of complications associated with both bleeding and thrombus formation increases, which is affected by changes in fibrinolytic activity and the state of hypercoagulability, endothelial dysfunction, and changes in the rheological properties of blood. This virus can significantly increase the risk of developing pregnancy complications such as preeclampsia, placental insufficiency, fetal hypoxia and, as a result, leads to intrauterine growth retardation. The study analyzes the condition of newborns and the incidence of intrauterine growth retardation in women who have recovered from coronovirus infection. The study included two groups of women: the first group consisted of patients whose pregnancy occurred 3-6 months after a new coronavirus infection, and the second group was a control group. As a result of the study, it was found that women of the first group more often suffered from preeclampsia, and their children were more often diagnosed with intrauterine growth retardation.
