RESUMO

SUMMARY OBJECTIVE: The aim of this study was to evaluate the prognostic value of whole blood parameters, systemic inflammatory indices, and systemic inflammatory markers in pregnant women with COVID-19. METHODS: In this cross-sectional study, the demographic, clinical, and laboratory data (i.e., whole blood parameters, C-reactive protein, procalcitonin, ferritin, and D-dimer) of 464 pregnant women with COVID-19 who attended a tertiary hospital between January and April 2021 were reviewed. Systemic inflammatory indices (i.e., neutrophil/lymphocyte ratio, platelet/lymphocyte ratio, platelet/neutrophil ratio, and systemic immune inflammation index) were calculated. Asymptomatic and mildly symptomatic pregnant women were classified as Group 1 (n=413), and those with severe disease were classified as Group 2 (n=51). RESULTS: Lymphocyte count and lymphocyte percentage in whole blood parameters were significantly lower (p<0.05), and C-reactive protein, ferritin, and procalcitonin values were higher in Group 2 (p<0.05). Systemic inflammatory indices [neutrophil/lymphocyte ratio (4.7±2.9 (1.1-21.2) vs 7.5±4.7 (2.13-23.2)), platelet/lymphocyte ratio (191.1±104.3 (53.0-807.1) vs 269.5±118.9 (105.0-756.0)), systemic immune inflammation index (1,000±663 (209-5,231) vs 1,630±1,314 (345-7,006))] were found statistically significantly higher in severe disease group (p<0.001). CONCLUSION: Evidence in this study indicates that neutrophil/lymphocyte ratio, platelet/lymphocyte ratio, and systemic immune inflammation index at first admission are simple, rapid, and inexpensive indices in predicting the prognosis of COVID-19 in pregnant women.

RESUMO

Abstract Objective This study focused on pregnant and postpartum women during the COVID-19 pandemic, aiming to determine the attitudes and behaviors of vaccinated and unvaccinated groups, and the vaccination behaviors in the groups with and without the disease. The reasons for refusing the vaccine were also questioned. Methods This cross-sectional study was performed from September 2021 to October 2021. The study data were collected using a face-to-face questionnaire. The participants were pregnant women who applied to the hospital for routine antenatal care and were hospitalized, and women in the postpartum period. Additionally, pregnant and postpartum patients who were diagnosed with COVID-19 at the time of admission and were hospitalized and admitted to the intensive care unit due to this disease were also included in the study. Results A total of 1,146 pregnant and postpartum women who completed the questionnaire were included in our study. Only 43 (3.8%) of the participants were vaccinated; 154 (13.4%) of the participants had comorbidities. The number of COVID-19-positive patients was 153. The lack of sufficient information about the safety of the COVID-19 vaccine is the most common reason for the refusal. Conclusion Vaccine refusal can significantly delay or hinder herd immunity, resulting in higher morbidity and mortality. Considering the adverse effects of COVID-19 on pregnancy, it is essential to understand pregnant and postpartum women's perceptions toward vaccination to end the pandemic.
