OBJECTIVES: To identify gestational complications associated with SARS-CoV-2 infection in pregnant women during 2020-2021.

CONTENT: The risk of gestational complications was confirmed during SARS-CoV and MERS-CoV infection. However, this is not robust for COVID-19 because there is still no scientific evidence from longitudinal studies. A systematic review was performed using four databases, and 14 prospective or retrospective cohorts were finally included in the analysis.

SUMMARY: The most frequently associated sociodemographic characteristic or comorbidity was the presence of any previous comorbidity (9 studies, 64.3%), followed by ethnicity and age (6 studies each one, 42.9%). The most frequently associated gestational complications in mothers were the admission to Intensive Care Unit (4 studies, 28.6%) and gestational age at delivery <37 weeks (3 studies, 21.4%). The most frequently associated gestational complications in newborns were preterm birth (4 studies, 28.6%) and the admission to Neonatal Intensive Care Unit (2 studies, 14.3%).

OUTLOOK: Pregnant women infected with SARS-CoV-2 appear to have a higher risk of admission to Intensive Care Unit. Newborns of mothers infected with SARS-CoV-2 appear to have a higher risk of preterm birth and admission to Neonatal Intensive Care Unit.
