Background: The World Health Organization regards tuberculosis (TB) as one of the top 10 causes of mortality worldwide. TB during gestation is mainly significant in that its symptoms can be confused with those that appear physiologically in pregnancy, and subsequently, it can lead to maternal-perinatal complications. Objective: To evaluate the association between gestational pulmonary tuberculosis and adverse neonatal outcomes in two Peruvian hospitals, during the period 2005-2019. Methods: Retrospective cohort study. The target population consisted of pregnant women with and without pulmonary tuberculosis, whose deliveries were attended to at the Hospital María Auxiliadora and the Hospital Nacional Docente Madre Niño San Bartolomé, located in Lima, Peru. The considered adverse neonatal outcomes were prematurity, low birth weight, and being small for gestational age. Crude (RRc) and adjusted relative risks (RRa) were calculated with their respective 95% confidence intervals (CI 95%). Results: Information from a total of 212 patients was analyzed. 48.1% had tuberculosis during gestation, and the incidence of adverse neonatal outcomes was 23.1% (8%, 11.3%, and 12.3% for low birth weight (LBW), prematurity, and small for gestational age (SGA), respectively). In the adjusted model, it was found that pregnant women with pulmonary tuberculosis had a 3.52 times higher risk of having a newborn with at least one of the adverse outcomes compared to those who were not exposed (RRa: 3.52; CI95%: 1.93 - 6.68). Conclusion: Pulmonary TB during pregnancy was both jointly and independently associated with adverse neonatal outcomes, including low birth weight, prematurity, and being small for gestational age.
