Neurological manifestations of COVID-19 in pregnancy: a cross-sectional study

Objective: To analyze the association between chronic health conditions and severe acute respiratory syndrome in pregnant women. Method: Retrospective, exploratory study conducted with 1,152 pregnant women from all 27 states of Brazil who sought hospital treatment and were diagnosed with severe acute respiratory syndrome between 2020 and 2022. Public data from the Influenza Epidemiological Surveillance Information System (SIVEP-Gripe) of the Brazilian Ministry of Health were used. Nonparametric tests were performed in data interpretation. Results: The mortality rate of pregnant women due to severe acute respiratory syndrome in Brazil was 7%. Severe acute respiratory syndrome was statistically associated with the previous presence of diabetes (p = 0.023), neurological disease (p = 0.001), and drug use (p = 0.001). The epidemiological investigation of respiratory syndrome cases took longer in Black pregnant women (p = 0.012), unvaccinated women (p < 0.001) and women living in the north and south of the country (p = 0.011). Conclusion: Severe acute respiratory syndrome was more common in pregnant women with diabetes, neurological disease and drug users. However, these conditions did not lead to an increase in the number of deaths.

RESUMO Objetivo: Analisar a associação entre condições crônicas de saúde e a síndrome respiratória aguda grave em gestantes. Método: Estudo retrospectivo, exploratório realizado com 1.152 gestantes de todos os 27 estados do Brasil que procuraram tratamento hospitalar e foram diagnosticadas com síndrome respiratória aguda grave entre 2020 e 2022. Foram utilizados dados públicos do Sistema de Informação de Vigilância Epidemiológica da Gripe (SIVEP-Gripe) do Ministério da Saúde do Brasil. Realizamos testes não paramétricos para a interpretação dos dados. Resultados: A taxa de mortalidade de gestantes por síndrome respiratória aguda grave no Brasil foi de 7%. A síndrome respiratória aguda grave estava estatisticamente associada à presença prévia de diabetes (p = 0,023), doença neurológica (p = 0,001) e uso de drogas (p = 0,001). A investigação epidemiológica dos casos de síndrome respiratória demorou mais tempo em gestantes negras (p = 0,012), não vacinadas (p < 0,001) e residentes na região norte e sul do país (p = 0,011). Conclusão: A síndrome respiratória aguda grave foi mais comum em gestantes com diabetes, doença neurológica e que faziam uso de drogas. Todavia, essas condições não levaram ao aumento no número de mortes.
