The Effect of COVID-19 Infection During Pregnancy; Evaluating Neonatal Outcomes and the Impact of the B.1.1.7. Variant

Conclusions: Following a COVID-19 infection in pregnancy, there was no increase in the incidence of preterm birth or neonatal intensive care unit admission compared with 5-year hospital data. Maternal symptom status did not influence neonatal outcomes. Further studies to evaluate the impact of COVID-19 in early pregnancy, the variants of concern, particularly the emerging Delta variant and COVID-19 placentitis are required.
