Only women who die between conception and 6 weeks after delivery are included in a maternal mortality audit. According to the Multiple Indicator Cluster Survey of 2019, Zimbabwe has a maternal mortality ration of 462 deaths per 100,000 live births, and a neonatal mortality rate of 32 deaths per 1000 live births. We also acknowledge that the practice of obstetrics differs among the three countries from which these cases were reported and that these baseline differences likely contribute to some of the findings.

The proportion of mild disease (Table 4) is heavily weighted by a selective-screening process wherein asymptomatic women are likely under-represented. This study aimed to investigate thecauses of maternal and perinatal mortality. No maternal deaths were reported (0/348, 95% CI 0.0–1.1). With data from early in the pandemic, it is reassuring that there are low rates of maternal and neonatal mortality and vertical transmission with SARS-CoV-2. 5. Regarding heightened rates of cesarean delivery, the pooled portions subanalysis of cesarean delivery rates by country represented in this systematic review are 42.9% from Italy (18/42), 44.4% from the United States (8/18), and 92.2% from China (306/332).

In reporting cases, lymphopenia was found in 110 of 232 women (47.4%, CI 41.1–53.8) (Table 3). 'Perinatal mortality' is defined as the stillbirth or death of a newborn baby within the first seven days of life (). Similarly, the quality of early publications varied significantly. Extended perinatal mortality has reduced by 15% over five years, from 6.04 per 1,000 total births in 2013 to 5.13 per 1,000 total births in 2018, equivalent to approximately 670 fewer deaths in 2018. Lastly, we examined the rate of vertical transmission, defined as a positive test result for SARS-CoV-2 infection by neonatal nasal swab immediately (eg, within 5 minutes) after birth or a positive immunoglobulin M result for SARS-CoV-2 infection in cord blood (because vertical transmission of SARS-CoV-2 infection has not been formally defined in the literature yet).

PIP: All reported perinatal and maternal deaths from 1975 to 1982 among Faith Assembly members living in the state of Indiana were verified. 22. Although we observed very little statistical heterogeneity for maternal mortality following caesarean sections, the heterogeneity was high for corresponding stillbirth and perinatal mortality. In distinction from other perinatal viral infections such as influenza, the disease course may be less severe in pregnant women compared with older, nonpregnant adults.31.
