We conducted a retrospective cohort analysis on 5888 hospitalized women for H1N1 flu pandemic (2190 pregnant and 3698 non-pregnant) and 64,515 hospitalized women for COVID-19 pandemic (5151 pregnant and 59,364 non-pregnant), from the Brazilian national database, to compare demographic profile, clinical aspects, and mortality in childbearing aged women during both pandemics. Additionally, the effect of being pregnant was compared between both pandemics. In both pandemics, pregnant women were younger than non-pregnant women. Overall, pregnant women had lower frequencies of comorbidities and were less symptomatic. Among hospitalized women, pregnant women presented lower mortality rates than non-pregnant women (9.7% vs. 12.6%, p = 0.002 in the H1N1 pandemic and 9.7% vs. 17.4%, p &lt; 0.001 in the COVID-19 pandemic) and this difference was statistically more pronounced in the COVID-19 pandemic, even after balancing pregnant and non-pregnant groups regarding age and chronic diseases.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/vaccines10081202","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2022,7,29]],"date-time":"2022-07-29T01:41:16Z","timestamp":1659058876000},"page":"1202","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3390\/mdpi_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":0,"title":["The Effect of Being Pregnant during Respiratory Pandemics: A Comparison between 2009\/10 Flu and 2020\/21 COVID-19 Pandemic in Brazil"],"prefix":"10.3390","volume":"10","author":[{"given":"Ana Beatrice Bonganha","family":"Zanon","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Divis\u00e3o de Clinica Obstetrica, Hospital das Clinicas HCFMUSP, Faculdade de Medicina da Universidade de S\u00e3o Paulo, 255 Dr. Eneas Carvalho de Aguiar Avenue, 10th Floor, S\u00e3o Paulo 05403-000, Brazil"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Elias Ribeiro Rosa","family":"J\u00fanior","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Departamento de Estat\u00edstica, Universidade Federal do Esp\u00edrito Santo, 514 Fernando Ferrari Avenue, Goiabeira, Vit\u00f3ria 29075-910, Brazil"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0003-4593-9479","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"N\u00e1taly Adriana Jim\u00e9nez","family":"Monroy","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Departamento de Estat\u00edstica, Universidade Federal do Esp\u00edrito Santo, 514 Fernando Ferrari Avenue, Goiabeira, Vit\u00f3ria 29075-910, Brazil"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-1681-0281","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Luciana Graziela","family":"de Godoi","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Departamento de Estat\u00edstica, Universidade Federal do Esp\u00edrito Santo, 514 Fernando Ferrari Avenue, Goiabeira, Vit\u00f3ria 29075-910, Brazil"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Bruna Rodrigues","family":"de Mattos","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Departamento de Estat\u00edstica, Universidade Federal do Esp\u00edrito Santo, 514 Fernando Ferrari Avenue, Goiabeira, Vit\u00f3ria 29075-910, Brazil"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Cristiane de Freitas","family":"Paganoti","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Divis\u00e3o de Clinica Obstetrica, Hospital das Clinicas HCFMUSP, Faculdade de Medicina da Universidade de S\u00e3o Paulo, 255 Dr. Eneas Carvalho de Aguiar Avenue, 10th Floor, S\u00e3o Paulo 05403-000, Brazil"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-9981-8069","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Rossana Pulcineli Vieira","family":"Francisco","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Disciplina de Obstetr\u00edcia, Departamento de Obstetr\u00edcia e Ginecologia, Hospital das Clinicas HCFMUSP, Faculdade de Medicina da Universidade de S\u00e3o Paulo, S\u00e3o Paulo 05403-000, Brazil"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Agatha Sacramento","family":"Rodrigues","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Departamento de Estat\u00edstica, Universidade Federal do Esp\u00edrito Santo, 514 Fernando Ferrari Avenue, Goiabeira, Vit\u00f3ria 29075-910, Brazil"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0001-8828-6725","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Rafaela Alkmin","family":"da Costa","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Divis\u00e3o de Clinica Obstetrica, Hospital das Clinicas HCFMUSP, Faculdade de Medicina da Universidade de S\u00e3o Paulo, 255 Dr. Eneas Carvalho de Aguiar Avenue, 10th Floor, S\u00e3o Paulo 05403-000, Brazil"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"1968","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2022,7,28]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref_1","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"44","DOI":"10.1016\/S1473-3099(07)70311-0","article-title":"Influenza vaccination in pregnancy: Current evidence and selected national policies","volume":"8","author":"Mark","year":"2008","journal-title":"Lancet Infect.
