The World Health Organization (WHO) declared COVID-19 infection a pandemic in March 2020. Currently, there is sufficient evidence that pregnant women diagnosed with COVID-19 compared with pregnant women without COVID-19 have an increased risk of complications such as preeclampsia, eclampsia, HELLP syndrome, as well as preterm birth and newborns with low birth weight. The present study was proposed with the objective of identifying whether in our context, COVID-19, during pregnancy, is associated with a greater frequency of prematurity and maternal morbidity and to determine the magnitude of the association, especially in pregnant women treated at the Maternal Perinatal National Institute (INMP) from March 1, 2020 to June 30, 2021. Period prior to the introduction of vaccines against COVID-19 in pregnant population. In the present study, it has been determined that in the COVID-19 group, prematurity reaches figures of 43.66%. Very high figures, for the usual average of prematurity in the pre pandemia time in the INMP, which is 10.1%. It has been found that COVID-19 doubles the risk of having prematurity compared to pregnant women without COVID-19. However, no increased risk of maternal morbidity, such as preeclampsia, has been found. Maternal mortality was not found to be increased either. It is important to prevent the pregnant woman from getting sick with COVID-19; this can be achieved through different prevention strategies, with vaccination being an important strategy.
