Abstract
Objectives: To investigate the effect of severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) on fetal Doppler parameters.
Methods: This was a prospective case-control study conducted in Ankara City Hospital with confirmed SARS-CoV-2 infected pregnants between August 1, 2020 and October 1, 2020. There were 54 COVID-19 confirmed pregnant women and 97 age-matched pregnant women as a control group between 28 and 39 weeks. Infection was confirmed based on positive real-time polymerase-chain reaction results. Demographic features, uterine artery (right, left), umblical artery, middle cerebral artery, ductus venosus, cerebro-placental ratio, and cerebral-placental-uterine ratio Doppler parameters were investigated in both groups.
Results: Two groups were similar in terms of demographic features and no difference was found for fetal Doppler parameters.
Conclusions: COVID-19 seems to have no adverse effect on fetoplacental circulation in mild and moderate patients during the acute phase of the infection.
Keywords: COVID-19; SARS-CoV-2; fetal Doppler parameters; pregnancy.
