Maternal Characteristics and Pregnancy Outcomes During The Pandemic Covid-19 in Indonesian Tertiary Referral Hospital

AimAnalyse differences in intervention and pregnancy outcomes characteristics in obstetric patients with a diagnosis of COVID-19 and non-COVID-19 at one of the Indonesia tertiary referral hospital in East Java. DesignThis was cross sectional study. MethodsThis study was performed 694 obstetric patients, the data for these patients were obtained from the hospital medical records Sampling was used simple random. This study used Mann-Whitney test to analyse the differences between the variables. ResultsThere was a significant difference in the Length Of Stay (LOS), LOS of COVID-19 patients tends to be longer than that of non-COVID-19 patients. More than half of the patients gave birth by caesarean delivery, 83 for COVID-19 and 283 for Non COVID-19. Some of the most common complications among COVID-19 patients were maternal infectious and parasitic diseases (1.3% vs 0.0%), abnormalities of forces of labour (12.3% vs 9.6%), complication of puerperium (0.6 % vs 0.0%). 40.9% COVID-19 patient suffered Acute Respiratory Distress Syndrome (ARDS). COVID-19 infection had no significant effect on pregnancy outcomes. ConclusionSeveral interventions need to be re-evaluated, such as cesarean delivery in COVID-19 and non-COVID-19 patients. The health-care delivery system must also be re-evaluated, and the tiered referral system must be strengthened.
