    (Universidad Privada Norbert Wiener, 2022-09-09) Landeo Escalante, Miriam Fiorella; Morales Alvarado, Sabrina Ynés
    Objective: To systematize the evidence on maternal complications associated with COVID-19 infection in pregnant women. Methodology: A qualitative study with an observational and retrospective design, consisting of a review of original articles from the PubMed-Medline database published between 2020 and 2022. A sample of 30 articles was selected. The search algorithm used was (outcomes OR “preterm labor” OR preeclampsia OR PROM OR “maternal mortality”) AND (“covid-19” OR “SARS-CoV-2”) AND pregnancy. Results: The majority of articles were retrospective cohort studies (30.0%), published in 2021 (70%), and multinational (33.3%). The most frequently identified maternal complication was preterm birth (70%). Significant Relative Risk values were found for preterm birth (RR between 1.16 and 2.70), premature rupture of membranes (RR between 0.19 and 1.70), preeclampsia (RR between 0.88 and 2.68), and maternal mortality (RR between 1.70 and 22.3). Conclusion: COVID-19 infection is associated with maternal complications during pregnancy, especially preterm birth, premature rupture of membranes, preeclampsia, and maternal mortality.
