Article Synopsis
- A national study in Scotland examined how SARS-CoV-2 infection and COVID-19 vaccination during pregnancy affect maternal and neonatal health outcomes in women with singleton pregnancies lasting 20 weeks or longer.
- Results showed that SARS-CoV-2 infection is linked to higher risks of preterm births, severe maternal complications, and venous thromboembolism.

Here we report a national, population-based, matched cohort study using linked electronic health records from Scotland (May 2020-April 2022) to estimate the association between COVID-19 vaccination and, separately, SARS-CoV-2 infection between six weeks pre-conception and 19 weeks and six days gestation and the risk of [1] any major congenital anomaly and [2] any non-genetic major congenital anomaly. Mothers vaccinated in this pregnancy exposure period mostly received an mRNA vaccine (73.
