Abstract

Abstract : (Abstracted from JAMA 2022;327:748–759) It is well known that pregnant individuals with COVID-19 have increased risks such as admission to the intensive care unit (ICU), mechanical ventilation, and death when compared with both nonpregnant adults with SARS-CoV-2 infection and pregnant adults without SARS-CoV-2 infection. However, although COVID-19 is known to increase the risk of maternal morbidity related to the virus, the possibility for higher risk of serious morbidity from obstetric complications is not clear.
