Study finds COVID associated with abnormal placental pathologies in nearly 50% of cohort ChildHealth Coronavirus Disease COVID Placenta Pregnancy WomensHealth IFPA_Official
By Dr. Priyom Bose, Ph.D.Aug 7 2022Reviewed by Benedette Cuffari, M.Sc. The ongoing coronavirus disease 2019 pandemic, which is caused by the severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 , has significantly affected the global healthcare sector and economy. To date, SARS-CoV-2 has infected over 584 million and claimed more than 6.41 million lives worldwide.
Some maternal conditions that might affect pregnancy outcomes include inflammatory activation, hypoxia, and increased thrombotic events secondary to COVID-19. Although the placental features in COVID-19 have been described, there remains a lack of evidence regarding the characteristic pathological outcomes associated with placental pathologies resulting from COVID-19.
Relevant data such as demographic characteristics, mode of delivery, COVID-19 severity, obstetrical complications, maternal mortality, and neonatal details of selected candidates were assessed. Placental morphologic examination revealed an elevated incidence of retroplacental clots/hemorrhages. This might be due to silent antepartum hemorrhages caused by COVID-19.
