Abstract
Introduction: Coronavirus 2019 virus infections have an impact on the obstetric population. Methods: We performed a single centre, prospective case-control study in a tertiary care centre during the first wave of the pandemic, over a period of six months. All Labouring women who tested positive for SARS-CoV2 on the date of admission were included in the study (cases). As a control, SARS-CoV2 negative women who delivered before and after the coronavirus-positive delivery were included. Results: The control group were significantly younger than the cases (p = 0.001). The odds of spontaneous labour were observed to be significantly higher among the cases as compared to the control group (p = 0.002). The likelihood of NICU admission was significantly higher among the cases compared to the control group on applying Fischer exact test (p < 0.001) Conclusion: SARS-CoV2 positive mothers are more likely to deliver neonates with feeding difficulties and requiring NICU admission, compared to SARS-CoV2 negative mothers.
