ABSTRACT
Objective:
To study the Feto maternal outcome of Covid-19 in Pregnancy.Methodology:
This is a retrospective study done on 53 pregnant patients who tested positive for SARS-CoV-2 and were delivered in D. Y. Patil Hospital, Kolhapur from April 2020 to July 2020. Maternal and fetal characteristics and the outcome of Covid-19 infection in pregnancy was studied.Results:
Among the 53 patients, 49 patients (92%) were asymptomatic. Remaining presented with fever, sore throat, cough. 69% were primigravida and 30% were multigravida. 66% underwent LSCS while 28% were delivered normally. In majority, LSCS was done for oligohydramnios and fetal distress. All the patients were discharged after negative swab report and no maternal death was reported. About 32% of neonates required NICU admission for hyperbilirubinemia, pneumonia and sepsis. There was no neonatal death and none of the neonates turned out to be positive for covid-19.Conclusion:
The severity of SARS-CoV-2 was seen to be mild to moderate in pregnant women. Majority of the women infected with coronavirus disease were asymptomatic. The risk of vertical transmission to the neonate was also found to be low. Oligohydramnios and fetal distress were commonly seen in the patients, pointing towards the lack of antenatal follow up visits due to restricted mobility in the covid era.
