Mahesh Kumar, Sunita Siwach, Mahak Dabas, Pinkey Lakra.


Abstract
Introduction: COVID-19 has impacted different age groups with increasing influence among pregnant
women and their neonates. Approximately one-fifth (20%) of global annual childbirth are reported from India. So there is
a significant population of neonates in India who can be affected by COVID-19 infection. As most of the information about
fetal outcomes and characteristics of newborns of COVID-19-infected pregnant women is available from high-income
countries and less from developing countries, it is essential to report the same from these countries. Methods: This
longitudinal cohort study was conducted in the department of Obstetrics & Gynaecology and Paediatrics over six months
from April 2021 to September 2021 at BPS GMC (W), Khanpur Kalan, Sonepat. All pregnant women presenting to the
emergency services of the institute were tested for COVID-19. Those positive for COVID-19 were included and followed
with antenatal visits until delivery. In addition, newborn data about the gestational period, gender, type of delivery,
weight at birth, SARS-CoV-2 infection, management, and outcome were collected. Results: There were 54.41% vaginal
delivery, 36.77% cesarean delivery and 8.82% abortion. 14.7% of the neonates born to SARS-CoV-2 infected pregnant
women were preterm with a mean gestational age of 36.15 ± 6.81weeks, 17.74% had low birth weight with a mean birth
weight of 2029.18grams, and 0% had birth asphyxia while 8.47% required NICU admission. Three stillbirths (4.4%) but
no neonatal death were recorded. The incidence of SARS-CoV-2 infection among neonates was 6.8%. Conclusion: The
incidence of SARS-CoV-2 infection among neonates of COVID-19 infected mothers was 6.8%. The newborns that tested
positive for SARS-CoV-2 were all healthy and asymptomatic.

Key words: fetal outcome, newborn, pre-term, SARS-CoV-2
