A recent study, published in the Journal of Infectious Diseases ,  found that SARS-CoV-2 infection during pregnancy is associated with an increased risk for adverse pregnancy outcomes, including induced abortion, cesarean sections, preterm birth and fetal growth restriction. Research, led by Dr Annette Regan, Assistant Professor and MPH faculty lead at the University of San Francisco’s Orange County Campus, and team, found that COVID-19 during pregnancy was associated with a two-to-threefold higher risk for induced abortion (adjusted HR = 2.6; 95% CI, 1.17-5.78), cesarean section (aHR = 1.99; 95% CI, 1.71-2.31), clinician-initiated preterm birth (aHR = 2.88; 95% CI, 1.93, 4.30), spontaneous preterm birth (aHR = 1.79; 95% CI, 1.37-2.34), fetal growth restriction (aHR = 2.04; 95% CI, 1.72-2.43) and postpartum hemorrhage (aHR = 2.03; 95% CI, 1.6-2.63) but was not associated with risk for miscarriage, antepartum hemorrhage or stillbirth.
