Research progress on the impact of CO VID-19 infection during pregnancy on the health outcomes of pregnant women and their offspring
The impact of severe acute respiratory syndrome corona virus 2(SARS-CoV-2)infec-tion during pregnancy on the health outcomes of both mothers and offspring has been a major focus of in-ternational research during the COVID-19 pandemic.Pregnant women have long been recognized as a vul-nerable group during infectious disease epidemics due to physiological changes in their immune,cardio-vascular,and respiratory systems.Increasing evidence suggested that SARS-CoV-2 infection during preg-nancy is associated with several adverse maternal outcomes,including complications during pregnancy,premature delivery,hospitalization or admission to the intensive care unit,and even death.Additionally,adverse outcomes for offspring include premature birth,stillbirth,low birth weight,being small for gesta-tional age,and long-term neurobehavioral developmental abnormalities.This article reviews the adverse effects of SARS-CoV-2 infection during pregnancy on the short-and long-term health outcomes of pregnant women and their offspring.The aim is to provide scientific evidence for counseling on pregnancy risks re-lated to COVID-19,as well as for obstetric and neonatal care.
