A systematic scoping review of COVID‐19 during pregnancy and childbirth
Open accessAbstract
Background: Clinical presentation and outcomes of COVID‐19 infection during pregnancy remain limited and fragmented. Objectives: To summarize the existing literature on COVID‐19 infection during pregnancy and childbirth, particularly concerning clinical presentation and outcomes. Search strategy: A systematic search of LitCovid, EBSCO MEDLINE, CENTRAL, CINAHL, Web of Science, and Scopus electronic databases. The references of relevant studies were also searched. Selection criteria: Identified titles and abstracts were screened to select original reports and cross‐checked for overlap of cases. Data collection and analysis: A descriptive summary organized by aspects of clinical presentations (symptoms, imaging, and laboratory) and outcomes (maternal and perinatal). Main results: We identified 33 studies reporting 385 pregnant women with COVID‐19 infection: 368 (95.6%) mild; 14 (3.6%) severe; and 3 (0.8%) critical. Seventeen women were admitted to intensive care, including six who were mechanically ventilated and one maternal mortality. A total of 252 women gave birth, comprising 175 (69.4%) cesarean and 77 (30.6%) vaginal births. Outcomes for 256 newborns included four RT‐PCR positive neonates, two stillbirths, and one neonatal death. Conclusion: COVID‐19 infection during pregnancy probably has a clinical presentation and severity resembling that in non‐pregnant adults. It is probably not associated with poor maternal or perinatal outcomes.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
