Coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pneumonia rarely occurs in pregnant women. Case reports indicate that fibrin and lymphohistiocytic lesions in placentas may be typical. However, a meta-analysis to clarify whether there is a COVID-19-associated pattern of placental lesions has not yet been conducted. Systematic literature search with meta-analysis of publications on 10 or more cases of pregnancy with SARSCoV-2 infection and placenta examination (30 publications from 2019 to 2021; 1452 placenta cases) was performed. The meta-analysis did not reveal any COVID-19-specific placenta changes. The incidence of both vascular and inflammatory lesions was mainly comparable to that of non-COVID-19 pregnancies. Transplacental viral transmission is very rare and there are no typical placental changes. The most important prognostic factor seems to be maternal-fetal hypoxia in the context of pneumonia.
