ABSTRACT
PURPOSE:
The purpose of this study was to examine the impact of the first year of COVID-19 pandemic on maternal and neonatal outcomes at a large military treatment facility in Southern California. STUDY DESIGN ANDMETHODS:
A retrospective review of maternal and neonatal medical records was conducted between January 1, 2019, and December 31, 2020. Outcomes measured included stillbirth rate, neonatal intensive care unit admission, neonatal death, cesarean birth, and postpartum hemorrhage.RESULTS:
A total of 4,425 records were analyzed. Rates of stillbirth between the years did not vary. The neonatal death rate decreased more than 50% in 2020 (p = .149). Cesarean births rose by 2.7% in 2020 (p = .046). Rates of postpartum hemorrhage did not vary between years. CLINICAL IMPLICATIONS The impact of COVID-19 on maternal and neonatal outcomes at a military treatment facility in the first year of the COVID-19 pandemic provides guidance for optimizing perinatal health care. Vertical transmission of COVID-19 is low and routine testing of asymptomatic neonates of positive mothers may not be necessary. COVID-19 infections should not be an indication for cesarean birth and are not associated with neonatal deaths or NICU admission.
