Impact of COVID-19 on Pregnancy Outcomes: a Systematic Review (COVID-PREG)

November 5, 2024 updated by: Hamidreza Kouhpayeh, Zahedan University of Medical Sciences

A Systematic Review of COVID-19's Impact on Pregnancy Outcomes

This systematic review aims to evaluate the impact of COVID-19 on pregnancy outcomes. It synthesizes data from various studies to provide insights into the effects of the virus on maternal and fetal health. The review focuses on key outcomes such as preterm birth, maternal complications, and neonatal health, utilizing comprehensive literature from peer-reviewed journals. By analyzing existing studies, we aim to identify trends and gaps in research regarding COVID-19 and pregnancy. This review is intended to inform healthcare providers and pregnant individuals about potential risks and considerations during the pandemic.

Primary Outcome Measures

Outcome Measure
Measure Description
Time Frame
Impact of COVID-19 on Maternal and Neonatal Outcomes
Time Frame: The review encompasses studies published from January 2020 to the present, with a focus on maternal and neonatal outcomes reported within the specified time frame.
This primary outcome measure evaluates the various maternal and neonatal outcomes associated with COVID-19 infection during pregnancy. Key metrics include rates of maternal morbidity, neonatal morbidity, preterm birth, low birth weight, and any documented complications during pregnancy, labor, and delivery. The systematic review aims to synthesize data from available studies to provide a comprehensive understanding of these outcomes and their implications for clinical practice.
The review encompasses studies published from January 2020 to the present, with a focus on maternal and neonatal outcomes reported within the specified time frame.

Secondary Outcome Measures

Outcome Measure
Measure Description
Time Frame
Effects of COVID-19 on Pregnancy-Related Complications
Time Frame: The review includes data from studies published between January 2020 and the present, focusing on complications reported throughout the pregnancy and at delivery.
This secondary outcome measure assesses the frequency and types of pregnancy-related complications associated with COVID-19. This includes conditions such as gestational hypertension, gestational diabetes, placental abruption, and other adverse effects that may arise during the pregnancy period. The review aims to analyze the incidence of these complications in pregnant individuals diagnosed with COVID-19 compared to non-infected counterparts, providing insights into how the virus may impact overall pregnancy health.
The review includes data from studies published between January 2020 and the present, focusing on complications reported throughout the pregnancy and at delivery.
