Background and Objectives: The coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic has raised concerns about high-risk groups in community. Due to physiologic changes in pregnancy, these women are prone to this infection; therefore, this study was conducted to evaluate Covid-19 infection and pregnancy outcomes in Qazvin Province.
Methods: This longitudinal study was done in Qazvin Province from March to October 2020. The participants included 133 pregnant women who with a definitive diagnosis of COVID-19 using CT scan and PCR test. A four-section questionnaire was used to collect demographic data, COVID-19 symptoms, and pregnancy outcomes. The mothers were followed up until six months after delivery. Data were analyzed using the SPSS software version 24 and descriptive statistics.
Results: The mean age of the mothers was 27.09 ± 5.67 years. Fever, cough, and body pain were the most common symptoms of Covid-19 in the mothers. The majority (87.96%) of the mothers were in second and third trimester of pregnancy. Maternal outcomes included preterm labor (9%), Cesarean section (51.1%) and maternal death (11.28% or 5 cases). Perinatal outcomes were abortion (6%) and fetal death (3%).
Conclusion: Based on the results of the present study, Covid-19 increased the rate of maternal mortality and preterm delivery in pregnant women. Attention should be paid to support the expecting mothers, and more emphasis should be placed on health protocols in this group of patients.
