Abstract
TIRADO-AGUILAR, Omar A. et al. Population characteristics and placental findings associated with stillbirth in asymptomatic SARS-CoV-2 infection. Perinatol. Reprod. Hum. [online]. 2023, vol.37, n.1, pp.18-22. Epub June 05, 2023. ISSN 2524-1710. https://doi.org/10.24875/per.23000002.
Objective:
To compare population characteristics and placental findings associated with stillbirth, in women with asymptomatic severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) infection at the time of delivery.
Materials and methods:
Analytical cross-sectional study women with a diagnosis of stillbirth and with asymptomatic SARS-CoV-2 infection. Patients with gynecological pathology and those with more than one RT-PCR test were excluded.
Results:
There is no statistically significant difference between patients with asymptomatic SARS-CoV-2 infection compared to patients without infection for population characteristics such as maternal age, obstetric history, gestational age, education, marital status, smoking habit, chronic-degenerative diseases. There was no difference in placental findings of chorioamnionitis, vasculitis, deciduitis, thrombosis, acute atherosis, and fibrinoid necrosis.
Conclusions:
There is no statistically significant difference in the population and placental characteristics, in pregnant women diagnosed with stillbirth with and without confirmed asymptomatic SARS-CoV-2 infection. For the moment, we have insufficient data to affirm any population characteristic associated with stillbirth in patients with asymptomatic SARS-CoV-2 infection.
