Abstract

The implications of the COVID-19 pandemic on pregnancy are not well known. Severe maternal infection can be associated with premature delivery or fetal growth retardation. Maternal hypoxia could have consequences on neurodevelopment and at the fetal heart level. On the other hand, there are no data on the repercussions of COVID-19 infection according to the trimester of gestation. Our objective is to analyze the perinatal outcome and the risk of growth retardation, abnormalities at the level of neurosonography or fetal echocardiography in women with COCID-19, as well as associated factors (severe maternal infection, hypoxemia, gestational age at infection). The expected results can be very useful to advise on possible fetal risks, improving care and the pregnancy experience.
