• Description:
  What is already known about this topic? Information on the clinical characteristics and birth outcomes of hospitalized U.S. pregnant women with COVID-19 is limited. ; What is added by this report? Among 598 hospitalized pregnant women with COVID-19, 55% were asymptomatic at admission. Severe illness occurred among symptomatic pregnant women, including intensive care unit admissions (16%), mechanical ventilation (8%), and death (1%). Pregnancy losses occurred for 2% of pregnancies completed during COVID-19-associated hospitalizations and were experienced by both symptomatic and asymptomatic women. ; What are the implications for public health practice? Pregnant women and health care providers should be aware of potential risks for severe COVID-19, including adverse pregnancy outcomes. Identifying COVID-19 during birth hospitalizations is important to guide preventive measures to protect pregnant women, parents, newborns, other patients, and hospital personnel. ; Suggested citation for this article: Delahoy MJ, Whitaker M, O’Halloran A, et al.
