Pregnancy Outcomes in Individuals With Long COVID

Listen to this summary

The authors aimed to investigate the association between maternal classification of Long COVID and adverse pregnancy outcomes, particularly preterm birth and other complications. Their analysis of 603 participants revealed no significant link between likely Long COVID and preterm delivery or several secondary outcomes, although an increased risk of hypertensive disorders of pregnancy was noted. This finding underscores the necessity for further research into the implications of Long COVID on pregnancy health.
