Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome Coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) Antibodies at Delivery in Women, Partners, and Newborns

Pia Egerup et al.

Summary: This study investigated the frequency of SARS-CoV-2 antibodies in parturient women, their partners, and newborns, and the association with obstetric and neonatal outcomes. No association was found between SARS-CoV-2 infection and obstetric or neonatal complications, but some newborns born to mothers with antibodies had SARS-CoV-2 IgG antibodies at birth. The study was limited by a lack of statistical power to detect small but potentially meaningful differences between those with and without evidence of infection.
