A new publication authored by RID Program team members Winnie Fu, Dr. Elisabeth McClymont, Dr. Chelsea Elwood, Dr. Julie van Schalkwyk, and Dr. Deborah Money as well as other longstanding RID Program collaborators including Dr. Manish Sadarangani and Dr. Laura Sauvé, has been published in the Journal of Obstetrics and Gynaecology Canada (JOGC). This publication, entitled “Comparison of Maternal and Infant Outcomes in SARS-CoV-2 Infected Pregnancies and Contemporaneous General Population Pregnancies From British Columbia” focused on findings from the BC data from the CANCOVID-Preg project, as well as population data on non-COVID-19 infected pregnancies in BC from the BC Perinatal Data Registry of Perinatal Services BC. It describes how SARS-CoV-2 infection in pregnancy affected the maternal and infant outcomes for pregnant women and people in BC compared to non-infected pregnant women and people. Data on maternal (gestational diabetes, pregnancy-induced hypertension, mode of delivery) and infant outcomes (birth outcome, resuscitation at birth, Apgar score at 5 minutes <7, birth weight, NICU admission, preterm birth) was collected on COVID-19 infected and non-infected pregnant women and people in BC, who delivered between March 1st 2020 to March 31st 2021. These data for the two groups were then compared to determine the impact of COVID-19 infection on these outcomes. To access the publication, please click here!
