Critical Care in SARS-CoV-2 Infected Pregnant Women: A Prospective Multicenter Study

Ana Alvarez Bartolome, Nadia Akram Abdallah Kassab, Sara Cruz Melguizo, Maria Luisa de la Cruz Conty, Laura Forcen Acebal, Alejandra Abascal Saiz, Pilar Pintado Recarte, Alicia Martinez Varea, Lucas Cerrillos Gonzalez, Javier Garcia Fernandez, Oscar Martinez Perez

Summary: This study aims to investigate the characteristics and reasons for ICU admission of SARS-CoV-2 positive pregnant women. The study found that the main reasons for ICU admission were non-obstetric causes and a combination of COVID-19 symptoms and obstetrical complications. Multivariable logistic analysis also revealed a higher risk of ICU admission when pre-eclampsia or hemorrhagic events coexist with pneumonia.

Summary: This study aimed to examine T cell subsets in pregnant women infected with SARS-CoV-2 and evaluate the potential differences among trimesters and clinical findings of the disease. The results showed that CD3(+) total T cell was lower in pregnant patients infected with SARS-CoV-2 in the second and third trimesters compared to the control group. Additionally, CD3(+)CD4(+) helper T cell, Treg, and Treg/Th17 ratio were lower in the third trimester patients infected with SARS-CoV-2.

Summary: The COVID-19 pandemic affects gestation and pregnancy, and this study highlights the relationship between NK cells, inflammation, and estradiol in patients with ongoing infection. NK cells play a crucial role in fetal immune imprinting, and their characteristics are correlated with inflammatory markers and hormone levels. Additionally, neonates born to infected women have decreased NK cell counts.

MiRNA Profiling in Plasma and Placenta of SARS-CoV-2-Infected Pregnant Women

Irma Saulle, Micaela Garziano, Claudio Fenizia, Gioia Cappelletti, Francesca Parisi, Mario Clerici, Irene Cetin, Valeria Savasi, Mara Biasin

Summary: Research has shown that the transcriptomic profile of pregnant women is significantly altered in different anatomical districts following SARS-CoV-2 infection, even in the absence of clinical symptoms and vertical transmission. The combination of miRNA and antiviral/immune factors seems to control both the infection and the dysfunctional immune reaction, representing a potential therapeutic target against SARS-CoV-2.

Ketas, Sunidhi Singh, Marie Canis, Eva Bednarski, Alexis Hollingsworth, Embree M. Thompson, Dorothy Eng, Paul D. Bieniasz, Laura E. Riley, Theodora Hatziioannou, Yawei J. Yang

Summary: The effects of heterogeneous infection, vaccination, and boosting histories on neonatal protection during pregnancy have been studied. The research analyzed spike binding antibodies in 4600 patients and their neonates, investigating neutralizing antibody activity against different SARS-CoV-2 variant pseudotypes. The results demonstrated significant increases in antibody levels and neutralizing activity against omicron BA.1 and BA.5 variants in both pregnant patients and their neonates, especially with SARS-CoV-2 vaccination and boosting in the setting of previous infection.

Antibodies against SARS-CoV-2 Alpha, Beta, and Gamma Variants in Pregnant Women and Their Neonates under Antenatal Vaccination with Moderna (mRNA-1273) Vaccine

Wei-Chun Chen, Yen-Pin Lin, Chao-Min Cheng, Ching-Fen Shen, Alex Ching, Ting-Chang Chang, Ching-Ju Shen

Summary: The aim of this study was to investigate the impact of COVID-19 vaccination on the antibody binding ratio for different variants of SARS-CoV-2 in pregnant women and neonates. The results showed that pregnant women who received two doses of the COVID-19 vaccine had a higher antibody binding ratio compared to those who received only one dose. Additionally, the timing of vaccination and the administration of other vaccines also influenced the antibody binding ratio.

Detection of SARS-CoV-2 Neutralizing Antibodies in Vaccinated Pregnant Women and Neonates by Using a Lateral Flow Immunoassay Coupled with a Spectrum-Based Reader

Wei-Chun Chen, Yen-Pin Lin, Chao-Min Cheng, Ching-Fen Shen, Chang-Wei Li, Yu-Kuo Wang, Ting-Ying Shih, Chitsung Hong, Ting-Chang Chang, Ching-Ju Shen

Summary: This study focused on investigating the detection of neutralizing antibodies in maternal serum and cord blood and their correlation with protection against different types of SARS-CoV-2. The results showed that wild-type SARS-CoV-2 had better neutralizing antibody protection compared to Delta-type and Omicron-type. Two doses of vaccination provided greater protection than a single dose. The study also established cutoff values for neutralizing antibody protection based on spike protein receptor binding domain antibody levels.

Summary: This study suggests that COVID-19 vaccination during pregnancy can reduce the risk of hospital admission and severity of COVID-19 infection. Additionally, infection with SARS-CoV-2 during the third trimester of pregnancy was associated with a significantly reduced risk of positive cord-blood SARS-CoV-2 IgG antibodies. Furthermore, pregnant women who received at least two doses of the COVID-19 vaccine did not develop severe COVID-19.

Differences in pregnancy and perinatal outcomes among symptomatic versus asymptomatic COVID-19-infected pregnant women: a systematic review and meta-analysis

Durray Shahwar A. Khan, La-Raib Hamid, Anna Ali, Rehana A. Salam, Nadeem Zuberi, Zohra S. Lassi, Jai K. Das

Summary: The study included a total of 3158 pregnancies, with 1900 symptomatic and 1258 asymptomatic pregnant women. Pregnant women with obesity, hypertension, or respiratory disorders were more likely to be symptomatic when infected with SARS-CoV-2. Complications such as cesarean-section delivery, low birthweight, preterm birth, and the need for ICU admission were higher among symptomatic pregnant women.

Maternal and perinatal outcomes in pregnant women infected by SARS-CoV-2: A meta-analysis

Ioannis Bellos, Aakash Pandita, Raffaella Panza

Summary: Evidence on COVID-19 in pregnancy is limited. Maternal symptoms mainly include fever, cough, and shortness of breath, with around 15% being asymptomatic. Severe disease was estimated to occur in 7-11% of cases, with no significant difference in neonatal transmission between women with and without severe disease. Preterm birth rates vary from 16% to 29.7%, and there were cases of stillbirth and neonatal deaths. Further large-scale studies are needed to understand risk factors associated with viral transmission and severe infection in neonates.
