The same systemic review [5] noted that 96 [ 1 7 _ T D $ D I F F ] % of COVID-19 women were delivered by CS; however, we suspect that these were likely to be elective procedures for obstetric indications, like the last four women in our series, where COVID-19 had been detected several weeks prior to delivery in relatively stable patients. We end this letter by reminding clinicians that many pregnant women with COVID-19 present with mild or even no symptoms. In the United Kingdom, we currently do not have the capacity or funds to screen all pregnant women as recommended by Sutton et al. [1] but any recent onset of cough and anosmia warrants a high level of suspicion for screening.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
