Main Findings
In this retrospective study, we analyzed and compared the outcomes of
vaginal delivery between 10 pregnant women with clinically confirmed
COVID-19 in the isolation ward and 53 pregnant women
without COVID-19 in the general
ward during the same period, and analyzed neonatal prognosis. The
research showed there were no significant differences in gestational
weeks, postpartum hemorrhage, perineal resection rates, neonatal weight,
and neonatal asphyxia rates between the two groups. 10 neonates were
delivered by pregnant women with clinical diagnosis COVID-19. Of these,
3 cases were self-discharged from the hospital because of refusal of
neonatal pediatric treatment, although being informed of relevant risks.
and 7 neonates were tested for SARS-CoV-2 nucleic acid throat swabs
twice in succession, all of which were negative. Only 1 neonate was
considered hyaline membrane disease by chest X-rays, No SARS-CoV-2
infection was detected in the chest radiographs of the remaining
neonates.
