Abstract:
SARS-CoV-2 infection among pregnant females is of concern. Therefore, it is of interest to evaluate the demographic characteristics, clinical profiles and outcomes of pregnant women with COVID-19 during two pandemic waves. An ambi-directional observational study was conducted at Gandhi Medical College, Bhopal, over 18 months (Jan 2021-Jun 2022), including 210 COVID-19-positive pregnant women. Data showed that the majority were young, unbooked, ruraland illiterate and from lower socioeconomic backgrounds, with anemia being the most common co-morbidity. The second wave saw increased disease severity, ICU interventions and worse maternal and fetal outcomes, including higher maternal mortality (17.3% vs. 4.4%) and stillbirths (11.5% vs. 6.6%). Timely care, early diagnosis and ICU management are critical to reducing morbidity and mortality.
