"A study involving nearly 27,000 pregnancies suggests that women infected with
COVID-19 before or during pregnancy are at two to three times the risk for
miscarriage before 20 weeks' gestation.
The University of Texas–led analysis used electronic health records to evaluate
the relationship between COVID-19 and miscarriage, ectopic pregnancy, and
preterm delivery from 2019 to 2023. Ectopic pregnancy occurs when a fertilized
egg implants outside of the uterus, rendering it unviable.
"In early pregnancy and the periconception period, SARS-CoV-2 infection may
disrupt the complex immunology of pregnancy, which shifts between the temporary
immunosuppression necessary for implantation and fetal tolerance and the
proinflammatory response which helps to prevent infections in mid-pregnancy,"
the researchers wrote.
The findings were published late last week in
BMC Medicine."
