2020
Overview
Introduction The study was implemented to provide guidance to decision-makers and clinicians by describing hospital care offered to women who gave birth with confirmed COVID-19 infection. Materials and methods National population‐based prospective cohort study involving all women with confirmed COVID-19 who gave birth between February 25 and April 22, 2020 in any Italian hospital. Results The incidence rate of confirmed SARS-CoV-2 infection in women who gave birth was 2.1 per 1000 maternities at a national level and 6.9/1000 in the Lombardy Region. Overall one third of the women developed a pneumonia and 49.7% assumed at least one drug. Caesarean rate was 32.9%, no mothers nor newborns died. Six percent of the infants tested positive for SARS – CoV-2 at birth.
