Fetomaternal Outcome in Covid 19 Positive Pregnant Women in a Single Center in Abu Dhabi, UAE over a Period of One Year

COVID 19 pandemic is the most recent health issue facing the world. Its effect on pregnancy and the unborn fetus is still under a lot of evaluation. This restrospective study is done to evaluate the effect on the mother and the fetus of pregnant women who were positive for COVID 19 in Mediclinic Al Noor Hospital over a period of 1 year.1.7% of total pregnant women (1145) attending or admitted to our hospital over a duration of 1 year were confirmed positive for COVID 19. Most of the babies did well in their postnatal period and the NICU admissions were for prematurity and neonatal jaundice. In our study group, the rate of comorbid factors in pregnant women with Covid 19 were low and the fetomaternal outcome were favourable in most of them. Given the physiologic and immune function changes that occur during pregnancy, they may be at a higher risk of developing more complications, but a longer study with a larger sample size is required. Statistical analysis was not possible in our study due to the small sample size, and we intend to expand the study in the future to acquire a larger pool of data to more accurately validate the findings.
