Abstract

COVID-19 has led to a global emergency because of its infectivity to the general population, especially the vulnerable population, pregnant women. Changes in the immune system of pregnant women made them more vulnerable to developing adverse complications COVID-19. This study evaluates pregnant women with COVID-19 hospitalized in RS Universitas Mataram. We retrospectively collected the data from 89 pregnant patients who confirmed COVID-19 on RT-PCR between May and December 2020 in Universitas Mataram Hospital. The age range was 19-42 years, predominantly 26-30 years (33.7%). Most of the clinical manifestation was asymptomatic (77.04%), which projected an urgency to implement health protocol more disciplined manner. Most of them were in the 3rd trimester (85.39%). It may be related to the COVID-19 screening policy that required expecting mothers to be screened for COVID-19 before proceeding into any obstetric treatment and/or procedure. Several policies can be implemented to protect pregnant women who are a vulnerable group. Screening for COVID-19 can be carried out every trimester of pregnancy despite whether or not the symptom is present because pregnant women are more likely to be asymptomatic carriers. Therefore, early case findings can prevent massive transmission.
