(Universidad Privada Norbert Wiener, 2021-10-07) Sandoval Barrantes, Grecia Jackeline; Arone Palomino, Susana Filomena
Objective: To identify the scientific evidence regarding maternal and perinatal complications in pregnant women with COVID-19. Design: This study was a non-experimental narrative systematic review, involving an exhaustive electronic search of articles related to maternal and perinatal complications in pregnant women with COVID-19. Study setting: The systematic review selected various articles from academic databases, including systematic reviews, retrospective, prospective, cohort, and case-control studies, published between 2019 and 2021. Subjects: A total of 35 scientific articles were included in this study. Findings: Maternal and perinatal complications are the dependent variables, and COVID-19 is the independent variable. Pregnant women with pre-existing conditions, risk factors, or over the age of 35 are more likely to be hospitalized, often resulting in pregnancy termination, which can be harmful before 37 weeks of gestation, causing prematurity, low birth weight, intrauterine growth restriction (IUGR), and neonatal pneumonia. Additionally, spontaneous abortions were observed in pregnancies during the first trimester. Pregnant women are more vulnerable to SARS-CoV-2 infection, leading to morbidity and mortality. Conclusions: Maternal complications include hypertensive disorders, placental abruption, disseminated intravascular coagulation, placenta previa, premature rupture of membranes, and spontaneous abortions. Similarly, perinatal complications include intrauterine growth restriction, prematurity, low birth weight, respiratory issues, tachycardia, bradycardia, and neonatal pneumonia.
