Abstract
Two years into the coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic, we have now seen three main variant waves. We performed a retrospective cohort study of all pregnant patients with COVID-19 at our institution from March 22, 2020, to February 26, 2022, to evaluate disease severity and perinatal outcomes among the variants. Patients were categorized as pre-Delta (March 22, 2020-May 31, 2021), Delta (July 1, 2021-December 15, 2021), or Omicron (December 16, 2021- February 26, 2022) based on variant tracking from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention and genotype sequencing at our institution. There were fewer cases of severe-critical disease (1.8% Omicron vs 13.3% pre-Delta and 24.1% Delta) and adverse perinatal outcomes during the Omicron wave compared with the pre-Delta and Delta waves.
