Special Issue Information

Dear Colleagues,

The outbreak of SARS-CoV2 and its variants has spread rapidly and impacted all of our lives. We have since acquired a lot of knowledge about COVID-19 after two year of the pandemic; however, we still need more information about COVID-19’s impact on maternal and newborn health outcomes. There is no doubt that we need to pay attention to various problems specific to pregnant women, fetuses, and newborn infants in the obstetrics field. In this Special Issue, we would like to publish a variety of research on aspects of COVID-19 related to the perinatal period, and we hope that this will be helpful to mothers and infants, in addition to all medical workers, including obstetricians, in the world.

The main topics of the Special Issue include, but are not limited to:

  1. The management of serious cases of COVID-19 in pregnant women; ECMO in utero or after termination.
  2. Prevention and treatment of thrombosis in pregnancy.
  3. The development of infants born from mothers with chronic severe hypoxia caused by COVID-19.
  4. The impact of new COVID-19 variants.
  5. The effects of new agent use on fetuses.

Acute respiratory-syndrome-related coronavirus 2, or SARS-CoV-2, has become a public health issue in our country. It mainly affects the vulnerable population, especially those with comorbidities. In this retrospective study, we set out to explore the effects of COVID-19 on pregnancy, with the vulnerability of pregnant women to SARS-CoV-2 infection also representing a main focus. We included 39 patients who tested positive for SARS-CoV-2 and 39 control subjects recruited from the Emergency County Hospital of Hunedoara, Romania. Our aim was to explore the indirect impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on pregnancy, as our patient group was included in the “high-risk” category. As a result, cesarean section prevailed, the main reason being fetal hypoxia. Newborns were evaluated by real-time postnatal polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR) viral testing: none exhibited SARS-CoV-2 infection, with no vertical transmission of the virus being detected. Moreover, we observed no maternal or neonatal deaths resulting from COVID-19. SARS-CoV-2 has been found to cause a heterogeneity of manifestations with damage to multiple organs, and its evolution remains unknown. In our study, the need for antiviral treatment was limited, but anticoagulants proved effective in terms of improving the outcome. Full article
