A neonate born to an infected COVID-19 mother was tested positive just 24 hours after its birth.

Given the importance of possible vertical transmission, it is essential to study all neonates delivered from COVID-19 positive mothers to analyze the route of transmission of infection that will optimize the universal testing for SARS-CoV-2 and minimize the risk of disease in neonates.

Antenatal care of mothers and morbidity and mortality disparities among preterm Saudi and non-Saudi infants less than or equal to 32 weeks' gestation.

Background: Premature non-Saudi infants comprise a significant proportion of neonatal intensive care unit admissions in Saudi Arabia. Any differences in antenatal care of mothers and neonatal outcomes compared with premature Saudi infants are unreported.

Objective: Assess antenatal care of mothers and neonatal outcomes among premature Saudi and non-Saudi infants, and investigate possible reasons for disparities.
