Danish premature birth rates during the COVID-19 lockdown

Gitte Hedermann et al.

Summary: A nationwide study in Denmark examined the impact of COVID-19 lockdown on premature birth rates and found a significantly lower rate of extremely premature births during the lockdown period. There was no significant difference in other gestational age categories. The reasons for this decrease are still unclear, but the lockdown period offers a unique opportunity to investigate factors related to prematurity.

Are COVID-19 mitigation measures reducing preterm birth rate in China?

Zheng Bian et al.

Summary: The study found that the implementation of COVID-19 mitigation measures in China led to a significant decrease in preterm birth rates, especially in the 2 to 5 months following the measures. The reductions in preterm birth rates were associated with the degree of prematurity and gradually returned to normal after the restrictions were lifted.

Modest reduction in adverse birth outcomes following the COVID-19 lockdown

Ellen C. Caniglia et al.

Summary: The study found that the risk of adverse birth outcomes decreased during and after the lockdown in 2020, compared to the same periods in 2017-2019. This reduction was primarily due to fewer cases of preterm birth and small-for-gestational-age fetuses.

Trends in intensive neonatal care during the COVID-19 outbreak in Japan

Yuto Maeda et al.

Summary: A reduction in the use of neonatal intensive care units (NICUs) and the number of preterm births was observed during the COVID-19 outbreak in Japan, according to a study analyzing a large-scale inpatient database. The study found statistically significant reductions in NICU admissions and neonatal resuscitations during the outbreak, along with a decrease in the number of preterm births. Further research is needed to investigate the mechanisms behind this phenomenon.

The trends and associated adverse maternal and perinatal outcomes of labour neuraxial analgesia among vaginal deliveries in China between 2012 and 2019: a real-world observational evidence

Yi Mu et al.

Summary: The study estimated the trends of neuraxial analgesia (NA) rates in China and found that national policy can effectively increase NA rates nationwide. Additionally, there may be an increase in genital tract trauma and maternal near miss in low-resource hospitals, but not in high-resource hospitals, highlighting the need for further research to identify the reasons behind these differences.

COVID-19 Lockdown Increased the Risk of Preterm Birth

Ting-ting Lin et al.

Summary: A study in Shanghai found that non-infected pregnant women in their second trimester during COVID-19 lockdown had an increased risk of preterm birth. Additionally, pregnant women in their third trimester during the lockdown had a higher risk of premature rupture of membranes-induced preterm birth compared to those in the non-lockdown period.

Effects of the COVID-19 pandemic on maternal and perinatal outcomes: a systematic review and meta-analysis

Barbara Chmielewska et al.

Summary: The COVID-19 pandemic has significantly impacted maternal, fetal, and neonatal outcomes, leading to increased rates of stillbirth, maternal death, surgically managed ectopic pregnancies, and postpartum depression. Disparities exist between high-resource and low-resource settings, emphasizing the urgent need for prioritizing safe, accessible, and equitable maternity care in response to this pandemic and future health crises.
