COVID-19-associated morbidity and mortality outcomes in pregnant patients admitted to intensive care unit

Abstract

Background: Our study aimed to evaluate the clinical characteristics and maternal-fetal outcomes of pregnant women admitted to the ICU due to COVID-19 pneumonia. Materials and Methods: Demographic data, presenting complaints, laboratory values, pregnancy outcomes, delivery method, and ICU mortality were recorded. Results: A total of 10 pregnant patients were admitted to the intensive care unit of our hospital due to SARS-COV-2 infection during the 2-year period. Arterial blood oxygen saturation values measured at admission to the ICU were higher in the surviving patients. Six of the 10 patients died. Only one of the 7 patients requiring invasive mechanical ventilation survived. Conclusions: We found that COVID-19-infected pregnant women with severe symptoms have several maternal morbidities and poor obstetric outcomes, such as prolonged intensive care unit stay, increased mortality, neonatal deaths, and caserean section.
