Keywords:
coronavirus, COVID-19, high-risk patients, mortality, neonatal outcome, pandemicAbstract
Following the Covid-19 Pandemic, certain components of the public health system, such as women's and children's health services, are more likely to experience decreased efficiency. A single-stranded RNA virus is the coronavirus. It can cause respiratory conditions ranging from minor nasal congestion to life-threatening respiratory infections. From June 2020 to September 2021, 70 mothers participated in a retrospective study at the Department of Obstetrics and Gynecology to assess the impact of COVID-19 on maternal and perinatal outcomes. In our study Only 20% of the patients were older than 30 years old, and 80% of the patients were under 30 years old. Out of 70 patients, 10 had no symptoms, 57.1% had a fever, 52.8% had a cough, 24.3% had trouble breathing, 7.14 percent had a headache, and 14.2 percent had anosmia. 36 patients (51.42%) had pneumonia with pleural effusion, 6 patients (8.57%) had ground glass opacity with consolidation, and 28 patients (40%) had minimal ground glass opacity. The maternal mortality rate was 12.8%, and 29 patients (41.42%) of the mothers required ventilator support or high flow oxygen (>12 l). 18 infants weighed more than 3 kg, 24 were between 2.6 and 3 kg, and 18 were under 2.5 kg.
