• Description:
  What is already known about this topic? Limited information suggests that pregnant women with COVID-19 might be at increased risk for severe illness compared with nonpregnant women. ; What is added by this report? In an Analysis of approximately 400,000 women aged 15–44 years with symptomatic COVID-19, intensive care unit admission, invasive ventilation, extracorporeal membrane oxygenation, and death were more likely in pregnant women than in nonpregnant women. ; What are the implications for public health practice? Pregnant women should be counseled about the risk for severe COVID-19–associated illness including death; measures to prevent infection with SARS-CoV-2 should be emphasized for pregnant women and their families. These findings can inform clinical practice, risk communication, and medical countermeasure allocation. ; Suggested citation for this article: Zambrano LD, Ellington S, Strid P, et al.
