ABSTRACT
Background:
Pregnant women experience physiological changes that make them more susceptible to respiratory infections, including COVID-19. Given the potential impact of COVID-19 on pregnancy, it is crucial to continue to investigate the effect of the pandemic on pregnant women and their infants. This information will be important for informing for all the stakeholders including clinical care, and public health policies. Method(s) This study is a retrospective observational analytical study conducted in the Department of Obstetrics and Gynecology at SMGS hospital, Jammu. The study included 180 pregnant females who reported to emergency Obstetrics and Gynecology from 1st April to 30 June 2020. The sample size of 180 patients was divided into two groups Group 1 included 90 COVID-19 positive pregnant females and Group 2 included 90 COVID-19 negative pregnant females. Result(s) No significant differences were found in age, parity, gestational age, comorbidities, mode of delivery, maternal complications, neonatal Apgar scores, or birth weight. The prevalence of comorbidities and maternal complications was similar in both groups, and most neonates had normal Apgar scores and birth weights. Conclusion(s) Therefore, it is suggested that appropriate management and care should be provided to all pregnant women, regardless of their COVID-19 status, to minimize any potential adverse outcomes.Copyright © 2022, Anka Publishers.
