Background: The global pandemic induced by the severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARSCoV2) was expanding at an accelerating rate. The clinical manifestations of COVID-19 in pregnant women were identical to those of general COVID-19 patients, suggesting a bad outcome for both mother and fetus. Imaging features indicative of COVID-19 pneumonia were present in the majority of chest CT images of the work.
Objectives: to detect the maternal and perinatal outcomes of post-COVID-19 infection in Qena Governorate.
Patients and methods: This study was a prospective observational cohort research that was conducted in the obstetrics and gynecology department, faculty of medicine, Qena University, at Qena University Hospitals and General Hospital from January 2022 to December 2022.
Results: Among our included patients, the majority (93.3%) got pregnant spontaneously, while 6.7% had induced ovulation. 7.2% were primigravida, while the remaining 92.8% were multigravida. Among our studied population, 1.7% developed maternal complications (1 developed maternal hemorrhage, 1 developed chorioamnionitis, and both had preterm labor).
Conclusion: In pregnant women with post-COVID-19 infections, severe maternal and newborn problems were common.
