Abstract
This situational descriptive study of COVID-19 in pregnant women aims to identify the perinatal outcomes of pregnant women who suffered from COVID-19 treated at the Lircay hospital from May 2020 to April 2021. Methodology: observational, retrospective, cross-sectional research developed on 124 pregnant women diagnosed with COVID-19. Results: Of 124 pregnant women with COVID-19, 65% are between 20 and 34 years old, 82% are of rural origin, and 95% are housewives. 100% presented mild COVID-19. The births were preterm in 6%, term in 91%, and post-term in 3%. The births were vaginal in 85% and cesarean section in 15%. Hypertensive disorders of pregnancy were the most frequent pathology (19%). The most frequent complications observed in the fetus were hypoxia 19%, oligohydramnios (6%), and IUGR (6%); the amniotic fluid at birth was fluid green (10%) and meconium (5%). The Apgar at minute was 7 to 10 minutes in 93%, 4 to 6 in 6%, and 1% had less than 4, and at 5 minutes, 99% had an Apgar of 7 to 10. Newborn tested positive for COVID-19. Conclusion: The perinatal pregnant women with mild COVID-19 presented fetal hypoxia, fluid green amniotic fluid and meconium, a situation that suggests a compromise of fetal oxygenation and a newborn was positive for the test.
