Abstract

Background-   For  successful  management  of  Covid-19  pregnancy,  adequate  information  and  understanding  of  its  clinical  presentation  and  impact  of  the  disease  on  pregnant  mothers  and  their  newborns  is  required. 
Aim- To  describe  the  clinical  manifestations  of  COVID -19  infection  in  pregnant  women  during  peripartum  period  and  to  study  the  clinical  outcomes  of  neonates  born  to  these  mothers.
Methods-  This  prospective  study  was  conducted  at  a  COVID-19  Hospital  of  North  India,  from  May  2021  to  July  2021.All  Covid-19  positive  pregnant  women  who  presented  at  the  time  of  labor  ( symptomatic  or  asymptomatic)  were  included  in  the  study. Follow   up  of  these  women  and  their  newborns  was  done  till  discharge  and  neonates  were  further  followed  up  till  28  days  of  life.
Results-Total  70  patients  were  included  in  the  study (24.2%  symptomatic  and  75.7% asymptomatic). Eighteen (25.7%)  were  NVD and  52(74.2%)  were  LSCS. LSCS  was  done  more  in  symptomatic  subjects  (p<0.05). Frequency  of  AFD  is  higher  in  symptomatic  subjects( p value< 0.05).Co morbidities  noted  were  PIH, GDM,  hypothyroidism  and  anemia  in  15(21.4%),  2(2.8%),  11(15.7%)  and  22(31.4%)  respectively. All  study  women  were  successfully  discharged. There  were  69  live  births(53(76.8%)  term  and 16(23.1%)    preterms )and  1  IUD.  Two (2.8%)  babies  were  tested  positive  for  COVID19 . Both  remained  asymptomatic  and  discharged. Total  11  neonates  required  NICU  admission  due  to  non  covid  reasons .  Number  of  deaths  among  neonates  were  2 (2.8%). During  follow-up  visits  5(9.09%)  neonates  required  readmission  in  NICU . Inadequate  weight  gain  was  seen  in  3(5.4%)  babies. None  developed  COVID  related  symptoms.
Conclusion- COVID 19  infection  during  pregnancy  is  not  associated  with  severe  clinical  presentation, high  mortality  and  morbidity. There  may  be  an  association  between  symptomatic  COVID19  pregnant  women  and  AFD. There  is  high  incidence  of  prematurity  and  LBW  in  neonates  born  to  COVID  positive  mothers.
