Eminent obstetric organizations have introduced an array of guidelines to assist clinicians in countering this prior unknown outbreak. The primary objective of this study was to summarize the clinical characteristics, complications, and maternal and neonatal outcomes of COVID-19 during pregnancy and puerperium.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Methods:<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>This was a cross-sectional observational study conducted in the Outpatient\/Emergency\/Inpatient or COVID ward in the Department of Obstetrics and Gynaecology, of a tertiary hospital in Nadia district, West Bengal, India, from 1.7.2020 to 30.6.2021 including 104 pregnant or puerperal mothers with laboratory-confirmed, i.e., RT-PCR or Rapid Antigen Test positive reports after informed consent. The obstetric outcome, modes of delivery, and neonatal status including any complications or SNCU admission within six weeks postpartum were recorded.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Results:<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>The majority were in the \u2265 20\u201324 years age group, primigravida, residents of Nadia with no significant travel or contact history. 73.08% were affected in the third trimester and the comorbidities detected were chiefly anemia (15.38%), hypertensive or chronic liver diseases, and hypothyroidism. 45.19% of the mothers were asymptomatic while the other complaints were fever (18.27%), cough (11.55%), anosmia and\/or ageusia (10.58%), sore throat (9.61%), respiratory distress, loose stools, and chest pain. The medical complications were predominantly low SpO2, convulsions, pneumonitis, and two maternal deaths. The obstetric complications were preterm birth (26.9%), pre-eclampsia\/eclampsia (17.3%), antepartum (3.9%) and postpartum hemorrhage (4.4%), and sepsis (5.8%). Fourteen mothers had first-trimester termination, 63 had vaginal deliveries, and the rest had cesarean section. Out of 90 neonates, most were in the range of \u2265 2\u20132.5 kg birth weight and normal 1-min APGAR score. None tested positive for COVID-19 RTPCR and no detectable congenital anomaly or neonatal death was recorded.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>","DOI":"10.4103\/jfmpc.jfmpc_1156_23","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2024,6,14]],"date-time":"2024-06-14T06:10:51Z","timestamp":1718345451000},"page":"2404-2409","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1097\/lww.0000000000001000","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":0,"title":["Evaluation of the effect of COVID-19 infection in pregnancy and puerperium in a suburban medical college in West Bengal, India"],"prefix":"10.4103","volume":"13","author":[{"given":"Jayeeta","family":"Mukherjee","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of OBGY, College of Medicine and JNM Hospital Wbuhs, Kalyani, Nadia, West Bengal, India"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Sougata Kumar","family":"Burman","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of OBGY, College of Medicine and JNM Hospital Wbuhs, Kalyani, Nadia, West Bengal, India"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Suvobrata","family":"Sarkar","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of OBGY, College of Medicine and JNM Hospital Wbuhs, Kalyani, Nadia, West Bengal, India"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Ranita Roy","family":"Chowdhury","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of OBGY, College of Medicine and JNM Hospital Wbuhs, Kalyani, Nadia, West Bengal, India"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Anirban","family":"Talukder","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of OBGY, College of Medicine and JNM Hospital Wbuhs, Kalyani, Nadia, West Bengal, India"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Gairik","family":"Bera","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of OBGY, College of Medicine and JNM Hospital Wbuhs, Kalyani, Nadia, West Bengal, India"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"276","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2024,6,14]]},"reference":[{"key":"R1-20260204","first-page":"727","article-title":"A novel coronavirus from patients with pneumonia in China,","volume":"m382","author":"Zhu","year":"2019","journal-title":"N Engl J Med"},{"key":"R3-20260204","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"110","DOI":"10.1097\/GRF.0000000000000674","article-title":"The epidemiology of COVID-19 in pregnancy","volume":"65","author":"Overton","year":"2022","journal-title":"Clin Obstet Gynecol"},{"key":"R4-20260204","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"28","DOI":"10.1186\/s13006-022-00465-w","article-title":"Recommendations for breastfeeding during Coronavirus Disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic","volume":"17","author":"Liu","year":"2022","journal-title":"Int Breastfeed J"},{"key":"R6-20260204","article-title":"RCOG.
