Pregnant women who contract Covid-19 are 22 times more likely to die and 50 per cent more likely to experience pregnancy-related complications. Reuters/File KARACHI: Pregnant women who contract Covid-19 are 22 times more likely to die and 50 per cent more likely to experience pregnancy-related complications than expecting women unaffected by Covid-19, says a global study of over 2,100 pregnant women across 18 countries, including Pakistan, published in JAMA Paediatrics. AKU faculty Prof Zulfiqar A. Bhutta, Dr Shabina Ariff, Dr Ghulam Zainab, Dr Lumaan Shaikh and Dr Khalil Ahmed from the departments of paediatrics and child health, and obstetrics and gynaecology contributed to the study which recruited over 300 pregnant women from Pakistan to the global study.

Date Time Research uncovers high risk to pregnant women from COVID-19 A study of more than 2,100 pregnant women across 18 countries worldwide has revealed that COVID-19 is associated with a higher risk of severe maternal and newborn complications than previously recognised. The researchers, from the Nuffield Dept of Women’s & Reproductive Health at the University of Oxford, report the findings of the INTERCOVID Study in the journal JAMA Pediatrics, providing, for the first time, detailed comparative information about the effects of COVID-19 in pregnancy. In the paper, published today, they conclude the risk to mothers and babies is greater than acknowledged at the beginning of the pandemic, and that health priority measures should include pregnant women.
