Abstract

Authors’ conclusions: COVID-19 infection during pregnancy was associated with substantial increases in maternal and neonatal morbidity and mortality worldwide when infected pregnant women were compared with their not-infected counterparts, especially if they were symptomatic or had comorbidities.

Reviewers’ commentary: the study reports increased adverse events and neonatal complications in pregnant women with COVID-19, providing evidence that underlines the need to minimize, with all possible measures, the risk of COVID-19 infection in pregnant women through vaccination, the use of masks, hand washing and social distancing.
