Giampiero C, Laura S, Stefano A, et al. - Via performing systematic review and meta-analysis of observational studies, researchers examined the risk of clinical complications in pregnant women and neonates infected with SARS-CoV-2. Searching PubMed and Scopus they identified 13 studies for inclusion; all of these studies were from China. Maternal complications were reported in 45.0% and cesarean section was required in 88.0%. ICU admission was reported for a proportion of pregnant women less than 20%. Preterm birth was reported for the pooled proportion of 23.0% infants. Pneumonia and respiratory distress syndrome were the most frequent neonatal complications. Neonatal infection was reported in 6.0%. Per these findings, there was a high rate of maternal and neonatal complications in infected individuals. However, risk of neonatal infection is inscribed as low in view of the current scientific evidence.
