Objectives:The objective of this study is to assess the impact of coronavirus disease 2019(COVID-19)infection during pregnancy on maternal and fetal outcome in relation to gestational age.Methods:This retrospective study was conducted between May 2020 and July 2021.Sixty-five women infected with severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2(SARS-CoV-2)and hospitalized at a quarantine hospital were included.Thirty-four women received prenatal care at the hospital until delivery,while 31 dropped out from the study due to COVID-19 recovery and discharge before delivery.Results:COVID-19 was found in 83%of the pregnant women after 20 weeks of pregnancy.The most common symptoms were cough and fever.Medical complications included severe pneumonia and thrombosis.The maternal mortality rate was 9.2%.Premature rupture of membranes and severe hypertension during labor affected nearly 9%of the pregnant women who completed prenatal care until delivery at the hospital.Preterm labor occurred at a rate of 38.2%.There were seven(20.8%)stillbirths and two cases of infant mortality.Conclusion:Hospitalized pregnant women who have coronavirus infection,lymphopenia,and a high C-reactive protein level were at a higher risk of developing severe illness,which can lead to maternal and neonatal complications.
