FIGURE 1.

The figure is a flow diagram showing the pregnancy status, signs and symptoms, and birth outcomes among hospitalized women aged 15–49 years with COVID-19 in 13 states based on COVID-NET data during March 1–August 22, 2020.

Pregnancy status, signs and symptoms,* and birth outcomes,§, among hospitalized women aged 15–49 years with COVID-19** — COVID-NET, 13 States,†† March 1–August 22, 2020

Abbreviations: COVID-19 = coronavirus disease 2019; COVID-NET = COVID-19-Associated Hospitalization Surveillance Network.

* Symptomatic women were those who had one or more signs or symptoms (fever/chills, cough, shortness of breath, muscle aches, nausea/vomiting, headache, sore throat, abdominal pain, chest pain, nasal congestion/rhinorrhea, decreased smell, decreased taste, diarrhea, upper respiratory illness/influenza-like illness, wheezing, hemoptysis/bloody sputum, conjunctivitis, rash, altered mental state, and seizure) at hospital admission; asymptomatic women did not have any of these signs or symptoms at admission.

The 448 pregnancies resulting in live births resulted in the birth of 457 newborns; nine women had twins. Two newborns included in this category who were born alive subsequently died during the birth hospitalization.

§ Ten completed pregnancies resulted in pregnancy losses. Pregnancy losses might include spontaneous abortion/miscarriage, therapeutic abortion, or stillbirth.

Pregnancies with known preterm status were those resulting in a live birth for which the gestational age at delivery was known. For three pregnancies resulting in live births, the gestational age at the time of birth was unknown.

** Women residing in the predefined COVID-NET surveillance catchment with a positive real-time reverse transcription–polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR) test for SARS-CoV-2, during hospitalization or up to 14 days before admission. Among the 597 (99.8%) pregnant women for whom the COVID-19 test type was known, all had a positive RT-PCR test result; the COVID-19 test type for one pregnant woman with a positive COVID-19 test result was unknown.
