Retrospective Description of Pregnant Women Infected with Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome Coronavirus 2, France.

ABSTRACT: Fix data are available on the management of pregnant women infected with severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2). We conducted a retrospective study of 100 pregnant women with SARS-CoV-2 infection in 4 obstetric units in the Paris metropolitan area of France during March 12-April 13, 2020. Among patients, 52 (52%) were hospitalized, 10 (10%) in intensive care units (ICUs). Women with higher body mass indexes (BMIs; median 30.7 kg/m²) were more likely to be hospitalized in ICUs than other women (median BMI 26.2 kg/m²). Women hospitalized in ICUs had lower lymphocyte count at diagnosis (median 0.77 × 10⁹ cells/L) than women not hospitalized in ICUs (median lymphocyte count 1.15 × 10⁹ cells/L). All women requiring oxygen >5 L/mi
