COVID-19 and first trimester spontaneous abortion: a case-control study of 225 pregnant patients

The disease caused by the “severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2” (SARS-CoV-2) was named Coronavirus Disease 19 (COVID-19) and classified as a global public health emergency. The evidence related to the impact of COVID-19 on pregnancy are limited to the second and the third trimester of pregnancy, while data on the first trimester are scant. Many viral infections can be harmful to the fetus during the first trimester of pregnancy, and whether SARS-CoV-2 is one of them is still unknown.
