Abstract

Approximately 116 million births have been reported worldwide in the nine months following the start of the COVID-19 pandemic. Currently, the effects of COVID-19 infection during pregnancy on birth outcomes are not fully understood. An IRB-approved study enrolled 115 mothers since March 2020, 5 of whom had a confirmed history of COVID-19 infection during pregnancy. For each COVID-19-infected mother, two mothers of similar age, gestation period, and race who were not infected with COVID-19 during pregnancy were matched 2-to-1 for a case-control analysis. Descriptive statistics were generated, and the Mann-Whitney U test was used to compare continuous variables between the two groups. Fisher’s Exact test was used to evaluate categorical outcomes between the groups. P
