Main findings
At present, scarce comparison data from a control study had answer the
question directly: whether pregnancy has impact on clinical course and
outcomes of pregnant women confirmed to have SARS-CoV-2 infection or
not. In this descriptive, single-center, case-controlled study, we get a
comprehensive understanding that: (1) the pregnant patients had higher
leucocytes, neutrophil counts, C-reactive protein and lactate
dehydrogenase level, but lower lymphocyte counts; (2) pregnancy had no
discernible impact on clinical symptoms, intensive care unit admission
and complications (including ARDS, acute renal injury, acute liver
injury and urinary tract infection); (3) more pregnant patients received
antibiotic, corticosteroids and oxygen support; (4) all the 17 neonates
tested for SARS-CoV-2 had negative results without complications; (5)
all the 31 pregnant and 124 non-pregnant patients had been discharged
with no deaths.
