Conclusion
No differences were found between Covid-19 infected and non-infected
pregnant women according to delivery type, maternal and neonatal
outcomes and also adverse pregnancy outcomes. Unfortunately, there is
still no enough evidence about Covid-19 virus in pregnancy. Given the
effect of many potential factors, such as the severity of maternal
infection, the time interval between the onset of symptoms in mother and
childbirth, the adequacy of the placental blood supply and many other
factors on the effect of the virus on pregnancy outcomes, we suggest
conducting more extensive prospective studies in this field. Future
studies could lead to changes in current knowledge.
