This study systematically analyzed coronavirus disease 2019 and vaccination details during pregnancy by using the national health insurance claims data. MethodsPopulation-based retrospective cohort data of 12,399,065 women aged 15-49 years were obtained from the Korea National Health Insurance Service claims database between 2019 and 2021. Univariate analysis was performed to compare the obstetric outcomes of pregnant women (ICD-10 O00-O94) and their newborns (ICD-10 P00-P96) with and without COVID-19.Univariate analysis was also performed to compare the age and obstetric outcomes of pregnant women receiving different types of vaccines. ResultsThe percentage of pregnant women with COVID-19 during pregnancy was 0.11%. Some obstetric outcomes of pregnant women with COVID-19, including the rates of preterm birth or cesarean delivery, were significantly better than those of pregnant women without COVID-19. The rate of miscarriage was higher in pregnant women with COVID-19 than without COVID-19. However, the outcomes of newborns of women with and without COVID-19 were not significantly different. Regarding vaccination type, obstetric outcomes of pregnant women appeared to be worse with the viral vector vaccine than with the mRNA vaccine. ConclusionTo the best of our knowledge, this is the first study to systematically analyze COVID-19 and vaccination details during pregnancy using the national health insurance claims data in Korea.The obstetric outcomes in pregnant women with and without COVID-19 and their newborns were similar.

“…Previous reports on newborns of mothers with COVID-19 in Korea reported about 4 infants born at full term via cesarean section and immediately separated from their mothers. 9 10 11 No infant tested positive for SARS-CoV-2. Our findings are consistent with those of previous case studies managed using a similar policy.…”

With the spread of coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) in Korea, the number of pregnant women infected with severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) is rapidly increasing. A shortage of negative-pressure isolation rooms for newborns makes hospital assignment more difficult for late-pregnant women with COVID-19. Among 34 infants born to SARS-CoV-2-positive mothers, 5 (14.7%) presented with respiratory distress and 1 (2.9%) presented with feeding intolerance that required specialized care. Aerosol-generating procedures were performed in one infant. Overall outcomes of 34 infants were favorable, and no infant tested positive for SARS-CoV-2. Most infants born to SARS-CoV-2-positive mothers did not need to be quarantined in a negative-pressure isolation room, and 17 (50%) mother–infant dyads were eligible for rooming-in. If negative-pressure isolation rooms are selectively used for newborns requiring aerosol-generating procedures or newborns in respiratory distress, resource availability for lower-risk cases may improve.
