Abstract
Coronavirus disease (COVID-19), caused by SARS-CoV-2, is a disease that has caused a global impact. COVID-19 is transmitted through airborne droplets, respiratory secretions, and direct contact. The pandemic has affected individuals of different ages, and studying the impact of COVID-19 on maternal and newborn outcomes is critical. In this review, we highlight the impact of COVID-19 infection in pregnancy and its repercussion in the maternal-fetal binomial. Physiological changes that occur during pregnancy have significant effects on the immune system, cardiopulmonary system, and coagulation, and these changes can result in an altered response to COVID-19 infection. The symptoms, risk factors, and maternal health consequences of COVID-19 were discussed. In addition, the impact of newborns born to mothers with COVID-19 was reviewed. Finally, placental changes and vertical transmission of COVID-19 during pregnancy were also discussed in this review.
Keywords: covid-19; maternal outcomes; neonatal outcomes; placental changes; pregnancy.
