Article Synopsis
- The study analyzed risk factors and outcomes for pregnant women infected with SARS-CoV-2 in South African hospitals from April to November 2020, using data from 36 hospitals and 673 women.
- Of the women studied, 32.2% were admitted due to COVID-19, with a high maternal mortality rate of 6.3%, particularly among those hospitalized for COVID-19 illness.
- Tuberculosis was the only co-morbidity linked to higher admission rates for COVID-19, while neonatal outcomes showed no significant difference between those admitted for COVID-19 and other reasons.
