This cross-sectional study compared birth outcomes related to COVID-19 between Bangladeshi pregnant women with and without COVID-19.Methods: The study was conducted at 3 tertiary referral hospitals in Dhaka, Bangladesh, from March to August 2020. Pregnant women admitted for delivery at these hospitals with laboratory results (reverse-transcription polymerase chain reaction) were analyzed. Using convenience sampling, we included 70 COVID-19-positive and 140 COVID-19-negative pregnant women. Trained and experienced midwives conducted the interviews. Data were analyzed using the t-test, the chi-square test, and univariate and multivariable linear and logistic regression.Results: Pregnant women with COVID-19 were more likely to give birth to a preterm baby (adjusted odds ratio [aOR], 2.15; 95% confidence interval [CI], 1.06 to 4.37) and undergo a cesarean section (aOR, 3.27; 95% CI, 1.51 to 7.07). There were no significant differences in birth weight, premature rupture of membranes, and the Apgar score at 1 minute or 5 minutes post-delivery between women with and without COVID-19. All the newborn babies who were born to COVID-19-positive women were COVID-19-negative.Conclusions: Our study suggests that pregnant women with COVID-19 were more likely to give birth to a preterm baby and undergo a cesarean section. For this reason, physicians should be particularly cautious to minimize adverse birth outcomes among pregnant women with COVID-19 and their newborn babies.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3961\/jpmph.21.432","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2021,10,22]],"date-time":"2021-10-22T01:35:53Z","timestamp":1634866553000},"page":"422-430","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3961\/crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":9,"title":["Adverse Birth Outcomes Among Pregnant Women With and Without COVID-19: A Comparative Study From Bangladesh"],"prefix":"10.3961","volume":"54","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0001-8228-4796","authenticated-orcid":true,"given":"Sumaya","family":"Binte Masud","sequence":"first","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-4505-434X","authenticated-orcid":true,"given":"Faiza","family":"Zebeen","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0003-1794-705X","authenticated-orcid":true,"given":"Dil Ware","family":"Alam","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0001-9584-7076","authenticated-orcid":true,"given":"Mosharap","family":"Hossian","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-8856-2352","authenticated-orcid":true,"given":"Sanjana","family":"Zaman","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-9191-5948","authenticated-orcid":true,"given":"Rowshan Ara","family":"Begum","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0001-9816-2080","authenticated-orcid":true,"given":"Mohammad Hayatun","family":"Nabi","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-1443-6257","authenticated-orcid":true,"given":"Mohammad Delwer Hossain","family":"Hawlader","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"2350","reference":[{"key":"ref1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/s0140-6736(20)30365-2"},{"key":"ref2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/j.bja.2020.04.066"},{"key":"ref3","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.31899\/rh14.1037"},{"key":"ref4","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1111\/j.1600-0897.2010.00836.x"},{"key":"ref5","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/j.jri.2020.103122"},{"key":"ref6","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.5152\/eurasianjmed.2020.20118"},{"key":"ref7","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1038\/s41467-020-18933-4"},{"key":"ref8","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/j.ajog.2003.11.019"},{"key":"ref9","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1186\/s12916-020-01798-1"},{"key":"ref10","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1186\/s12884-020-03172-8"},{"key":"ref11","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1371\/journal.pone.0234187"},{"key":"ref12","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.3329\/jdmc.v29i2.51191"},{"key":"ref13","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.3390\/diagnostics10050319"},{"key":"ref14","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.3389\/fped.2020.00104"},{"key":"ref15","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1111\/aogs.13867"},{"key":"ref16","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.11648\/j.ajim.20210901.12"},{"volume-title":"Rare events or non-convergence with a binary outcome?","year":"2020","author":"Karabon","key":"ref17"},{"key":"ref18","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/s0140-6736(20)30566-3"},{"key":"ref19","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1001\/jamainternmed.2020.0994"},{"volume-title":"Coronavirus disease (COVID-19): pregnancy and childbirth","year":"2021","key":"ref20"},{"key":"ref21","first-page":"1641","volume-title":"Update: characteristics of symptomatic women of reproductive age with laboratory-confirmed SARS-CoV-2 infection by pregnancy status -
