Various studies have reported adverse pregnancy outcomes in SARS-CoV-2 infection. This study aimed to evaluate the maternal and fetal outcomes in SARS-CoV-2 affected pregnancies at our set up.</p><p><strong>STUDY DESIGN:</strong> It was a prospective cohort study conducted at a tertiary care Army Hospital, India. The first 50 cases of SARS CoV-2 positive pregnant women and 144 suspected cases that were found SARS-CoV-2 negative, received and managed at separate set up, during a period extending from 01 April 2020 to 15 Sep 2020 were included in our study. Their obstetric and neonatal outcomes along with the demographic and other clinical data were compared.</p><p><strong>RESULTS:</strong> Total RT-PCR positivity rate of SARS-CoV-2 infection in pregnant women was 2.7%. 96% of our patients were asymptomatic for SARS-CoV-2 infection. Premature rupture of membrane, preterm delivery, and NICU admission was similar in both groups. There were increased incidences (70%) of cesarean section in SARS-CoV-2 positive pregnant women. </p><p><strong>CONCLUSION:</strong> The study reported comparable maternal and fetal outcomes in SARS-CoV 2 positive pregnant women when compared with SARS-CoV-2 negative pregnant women. </p> ER -
