“…The frequency and interval between SARS-CoV-2 testing varied between birth and 72 hours of life during birth hospitalization and ED visits. [34][35][36][37][38][39][40][41][42][43][44][45] These variations in testing may have been influenced by the institutional protocols and COVID-19related testing guidelines. The ED admissions among these newborn infants were mainly related to community transmission to the newborn infant or exposure to the mother and family who were symptomatic or tested positive for SARS-CoV-2 infection.…”

Abtsract Background: Severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) infection of mothers may increase the risk of complications and adverse birth outcomes among newborn infants born more than 37 weeks’ gestation. Purpose: The aim of this scoping review is to identify the research gaps in the literature on SARS-CoV-2 positive newborn infants born at more than 37 weeks’ gestation in United States (U.S.). Data Sources: A search for relevant articles was conducted using multiple resources including three databases CINAHL, Ovid MEDLINE, and Web of Science. This scoping review included case reports, case series, cohort, and retrospective studies focusing on newborn infants born more than 37 weeks of gestation with SARS-CoV-2 infection. Study Selection: A total of 4262 citations were screened, and 12 articles met the eligibility criteria. Data Extraction: Two authors independently screened the articles using a multi-step approach. Results: This review identified the gaps in literature on newborn infants up to one month of age. Few studies have focused on SARS-CoV-2 positive newborn infants born more than 37 gestational weeks. This review demonstrates a higher prevalence of community-acquired SARS-CoV-2 infections among infants following discharge. Implications of Practice and Research: Few U.S. based studies have focused on newborn infants born more than 37 weeks’ gestation with SARS-CoV-2 infection. Future follow-up studies are essential on these infants especially during the first 30 days of life. Discharge teaching on SARS-CoV-2 infection is vital in reducing community transmission, admissions, and emergency department visits.

“…Neonates with early-onset SARS-CoV-2 infection are largely asymptomatic (20%) or have mild symptoms (40–50%), primarily fever and respiratory symptoms, such as cough or rhinorrhea. 62 94 95 96 Several published case reports or small case series have described the rare occurrence of moderate to severe morbidities associated with COVID-19 among neonates. 48 65 94 97 Symptoms in these cases include poor feeding, vomiting, diarrhea, and lethargy, which sporadically required mechanical ventilation and vasoactive medications.…”

Coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic caused significant mortality and morbidity in people of all age groups worldwide. Given the uncertainty regarding the mode of transmission and potential effects of COVID-19 on pregnant mothers and their newborns, guidelines for taking care of maternal–newborn dyads have evolved tremendously since the pandemic began. There has been an enormous influx of published materials regarding the outcomes of mothers and newborns. Still, multiple knowledge gaps regarding comprehensive information about risk to the mothers and newborns exist, which need to be addressed. Current evidence suggests that mothers with symptomatic COVID-19 infection are at increased risk of severe illness during pregnancy, with a higher need for respiratory support and premature deliveries. Neonates born to mothers with COVID-19 are at increased risk of needing intensive care; however, most newborns do well after birth. As new mutant variants arise, we need to be cautious while proactively understanding any new evolving patterns. All leading health authorities strongly recommend COVID-19 vaccination before or during pregnancy to reduce the risk of maternal morbidities and benefit from passing antibodies to newborns prenatally and via breastmilk. Additionally, there are racial, ethnic, and socioeconomic disparities in outcomes and vaccination coverage for pregnant women. This article summarizes the rapidly evolving evidence for the last 1.5 years and aims to help health care professionals care for mothers with COVID-19 and their newborns. Key Points

“…Über eine mögliche vertikale Übertragung [287] wurde in mehreren Fällen einer peripartalen mütterlichen Infektion berichtet [135,[288][289][290], was darauf hindeutet, dass eine kongenitale Infektion möglich, aber selten ist ( < 3 % der mütterlichen Infektionen) [291]. Eine vertikale Transmission ist selten [248,[292][293][294] und nicht von der Art der Geburt, der verzögerten Abnabelung, dem Haut-zu-Haut-Kontakt, der Art der Fütterung oder davon, ob die Frau und das Baby zusammenbleiben (Rooming-in), abhängig. Die Übertragungswege von SARS-CoV-2 sind wie folgt beschrieben worden: Übertragung über die Atemwege und die fäkal-orale Übertragung.…”

ZusammenfassungSeit Beginn der SARS-CoV-2-Pandemie haben die Deutsche Gesellschaft für Gynäkologie und Geburtshilfe und die Gesellschaft für Peri-/Neonatalmedizin Empfehlungen zum Umgang mit SARS-CoV-2-positiven Schwangerschaften und Neugeborenen veröffentlicht und wiederholt aktualisiert. Als Weiterführung der bestehenden Empfehlungen werden in dem aktuellen Update Schlüsselfragen zur prä-, peri- und postnatalen Versorgung von Schwangeren, Gebärenden, Wöchnerinnen, Stillenden mit SARS-CoV-2 und COVID-19 sowie deren Un- oder Neugeborenen auf der Grundlage von Veröffentlichungen bis zum September 2021 behandelt. Die Empfehlungen und Stellungnahmen wurden sorgfältig aus den aktuell verfügbaren wissenschaftlichen Daten abgeleitet und anschließend im Expertenkonsens verabschiedet. Dieser Leitfaden – hier in der Langfassung vorliegend – soll eine Hilfe für die klinische Entscheidungsfindung darstellen. Die Auslegung und therapeutische Verantwortung obliegen weiterhin dem betreuenden medizinischen Team vor Ort, dessen Entscheidungen durch diese Empfehlungen unterstützt werden sollen. Aufgrund der raschen Dynamik neuer Erkenntnisse kann eine Anpassung erforderlich sein. Die Empfehlungen werden durch die Zustimmung der Fachgesellschaften getragen: Deutsche Gesellschaft für Perinatale Medizin (DGPM), Deutsche Gesellschaft für Gynäkologie und Geburtshilfe (DGGG), Deutsche Gesellschaft für Pränatal- und Geburtsmedizin (DGPGM), Deutsche Gesellschaft für Pädiatrische Infektiologie (DGPI), Gesellschaft für Neonatologie und Pädiatrische Intensivmedizin (GNPI).
