| Popis: | Objective There is limited data regarding the safety of vaginal delivery in women infected with COVID-19. Our goal was to assess the safety of vaginal delivery in women infected with COVID-19 and the risk of neonatal infection. Study design This was a single medical center cohort study. Data were collected about the outcome of twenty-one women with laboratory-confirmed COVID-19 infection who delivered between March 23, 2020, and May 8, 2020. Results Twenty-one gravidas were diagnosed with COVID-19 infection. None required admission to the intensive care unit (ICU) and there were no fatalities. Seventeen delivered vaginally and four by caesareans. Apgar scores of all neonates were 9 at 1 minute and 10 at 5 minutes. One neonate was diagnosed with COVID-19 infection 24 hours after birth. Conclusions Vaginal delivery in women infected with COVID-19 is not associated with a significant risk of neonatal infection. |
