Abstract
COVID-19 in pregnancy: Risk of adverse neonatal outcomes.
Highlights
To the Editor, The outbreak of coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID‐19) is a major public health concern and increasing cases of infection are being reported during pregnancy
In another study of 10 neonates born to mothers with COVID‐19 pneumonia, six were preterm and of low birth weight.[3]
A case‐control study recently published by Li et al[9] further strengthens the evidence base for this association, highlighting a significantly increased incidence of preterm delivery in cases of COVID‐19 than controls, which the authors attributed to gestational complications, such as premature rupture of membranes and placental bleeding
Summary
To the Editor, The outbreak of coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID‐19) is a major public health concern and increasing cases of infection are being reported during pregnancy. None of the patients in the study by Chen et al[1] delivered preterm, our review of the literature highlights several instances in which preterm delivery together with the outcomes for both mother and neonate have been documented (Table 1).
