Villar J, Ariff S, Gunier RB, et al. - Pregnant women with COVID-19 diagnosis consistently exhibit higher rates of adverse outcomes, including maternal mortality, preeclampsia, and preterm birth, compared with those without COVID-19 diagnosis.

• This multinational cohort study was performed including 2,130 pregnant women in 18 countries.

• Increased risk of a composite maternal morbidity and mortality index was observed for women with COVID-19 diagnosis.

• Significantly higher severe neonatal morbidity index and severe perinatal morbidity and mortality index were recorded for newborns of women with COVID-19 diagnosis.
