C+/P− and C+/P+ indicate women affected by COVID-19 in the first trimester of pregnancy with negative (n=10) or positive (n=11) RT-PCR in placental tissue samples, respectively. Controls indicated healthy pregnant women (unaffected by COVID-19). BMI and Apgar score are dimensionless variables. Data are expressed as mean (standard deviation), median (interquartile range), or number (percentage), unless otherwise specified. Dichotomous data were analyzed using the chi-square or Fisher test, as appropriate. Continuous data were compared using the Student test (C+P− vs C+P+ comparisons) or with 1-way analysis of variance (3-group comparisons). P values are shown for the comparisons between C+P+ and C+P− groups and for the overall 3-group comparisons.
BMI, body mass index; C, COVID-19; IUGR, intrauterine growth restriction; NA, not available; P, placenta; RT-PCR, real-time polymerase chain reaction.
