Popis: Objective: The exact link between COVID-19 pandemic and different adverse outcomes of pregnancy remains unclear. Plus, large-scale research is lacking. In the present study, we aimed to compare the maternal and fetal health outcomes during the COVID-19 pandemic with the same last year duration in Iran.
