Article Synopsis
- Pregnant women are at higher risk for COVID-19, and a study analyzed the effects of infection timing on maternal and neonatal outcomes in 224 confirmed cases from a tertiary hospital.
- Results showed significantly higher neonatal ICU admissions and lower Apgar scores for babies born to mothers infected in the third trimester compared to the first, although no major differences in other complications or outcomes based on trimester were found.
- The study highlights the increasing vulnerability to COVID-19 as pregnancy progresses, but acknowledges limitations such as sample size and potential data accuracy issues that affect the generalizability of the findings.
