ABSTRACT

INTRODUCTION:

In Mexico, there is a syndemic in pregnant women, where the epidemic of obesity and chronic diseases coexists with that of coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19), which has been associated with a higher risk of maternal mortality.

OBJECTIVE:

To evaluate the association of comorbidities during pregnancy with maternal mortality from COVID-19 in Mexico. MATERIAL AND

METHODS:

SISVER COVID-19 databases and epidemiological surveillance reports on maternal mortality were used. Multivariate logistic regression models were used to evaluate the association of comorbidities with maternal deaths from COVID-19.

RESULTS:

A total of 29,416 pregnant women were evaluated, out of which 39% were positive for severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2); the risk of maternal mortality was 3.24 times higher (p < 0.01) for positive in comparison with negative women. COVID-19 is the leading cause of maternal death since July 2020 and explains more than 50% of total deaths in 2021. Chronic kidney disease (odds ratio [OR] 4.11; p < 0.01) and diabetes (OR 2.53; p < 0.01) were the two main comorbidities that were positively associated with maternal death from COVID-19.

CONCLUSION:

Comorbidities during pregnancy that are possibly associated with an increase in the inflammatory response and an alteration of the immune response increase the risk of maternal death from COVID-19 in Mexican pregnant women.
RESUMEN

INTRODUCCIÓN:

En México existe una sindemia en las mujeres gestantes, donde coexiste la epidemia de obesidad y enfermedades crónicas con la de enfermedad por coronavirus 2019 (COVID-19), lo que se ha asociado con un mayor riesgo de mortalidad.

OBJETIVO:

Evaluar la asociación de las comorbilidades en la mortalidad materna por COVID-19 en México. MATERIAL Y

MÉTODOS:

Se utilizaron las bases de datos de COVID-19 del SISVER y los reportes de vigilancia epidemiológica de muertes maternas. Se utilizaron modelos de regresión logística multivariante para evaluar la asociación de las comorbilidades durante la gestación con mortalidad materna por COVID-19.

RESULTADOS:

Se evaluaron 29,416 mujeres embarazadas, el 39% fueron positivas para coronavirus 2 del síndrome respiratorio agudo grave, el riesgo de mortalidad materna fue 3.24 veces mayor (p < 0.01) para las mujeres positivas en comparación con las negativas. La COVID-19 es la primera causa de muerte materna desde julio del 2020 y explica más del 50% del total de muertes en el 2021. La enfermedad renal crónica (razón de momios [RM] 4.11; p < 0.01) y la diabetes (RM 2.53; p < 0.01) fueron las dos principales comorbilidades asociadas positivamente a la mortalidad materna por COVID-19.

CONCLUSIÓN:

Las comorbilidades durante el embarazo posiblemente asociadas con un incremento de la respuesta inflamatoria y alteración de la respuesta inmunitaria incrementan el riesgo de muerte materna por COVID-19 en mujeres gestantes mexicanas.
