Perinatal Complications in Individuals in California With or Without SARS-CoV-2 Infection During Pregnancy.

ABSTRACT:

Importance

Additional research from population-based studies is needed to inform the treatment of SARS-CoV-2 infection during pregnancy and to provide health risk information to pregnant individuals.

Objective

To assess the risk of perinatal complications associated with SARS-CoV-2 infection and to describe factors associated with hospitalizations.

Design, setting, and participants

This population-based cohort study included 43 886 pregnant individuals with longitudinal electronic health record data from preconception to delivery who delivered at Kaiser Permanente Northern California between March 1, 2020, and March 16, 2021. Individuals with diagnostic codes for COVID-19 that did not have a confirmatory polymerase chain reaction test for SARS-CoV-2 were excluded.
