Objectives: To assess the 6-month incidence of laboratory-confirmed severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) infection, postnatal care, hospitalization, and mortality among infants born to people with laboratory-confirmed SARS-CoV-2 infection during pregnancy by timing of maternal infection.
Methods: Using a cohort of liveborn infants from pregnancies with SARS-CoV-2 infections in the year 2020 from 10 United States jurisdictions in the Surveillance for Emerging Threats to Mother and Babies Network, we describe weighted estimates of infant outcomes from birth through 6 months of age from electronic health and laboratory records.
Results: Of 6601 exposed infants with laboratory information through 6 months of age, 1.
Article Synopsis
- * From January 2016 to June 2017, the CDC studied over 2 million live births and identified 3,359 cases of birth defects that may be linked to Zika virus, with a prevalence rate of 1.7 per 1,000 live births.
- * In regions with widespread Zika transmission, birth defects increased significantly, peaking at 5.6 per 1,000 live births in early 2017, indicating a fourfold rise compared to the same period the previous year.
