Table.

Multivariate log-binominal model analysis of the risk for stillbirth and early and late preterm birth according to the time point of SARS-CoV-2 infections (early vs late infection)

Parameter Stillbirth (all patients)
Early PTB (only live births)
Late PTB (only live births)
RR 95% CI P value RR 95% CI P value RR 95% CI P value
Maternal age (per year increase) 0.98 0.91–1.06 .618 1.05 0.99–1.12 .096 1.01 0.99–1.04 .266
History of miscarriage or preterm delivery 4.97 1.38–17.98 .014a 1.22 0.19–7.98 .837 1.76 1.06–2.91 .027a
In-patient care for SARS-COV-2 infection 16.62 3.34–82.54 .001a 12.97 5.37–31.33 <.001a 3.99 2.77–5.77 <.001a
In-patient care for other obstetrical complications 25.49 5.82–111.60 <.001a 7.63 3.09–18.83 <.001a 5.27 3.78–7.36 <.001a
Early (1st and 2nd trimester) vs late (3rd trimester) infection 2.76 1.15–6.64 .023a 2.07 1.10–3.91 .025a 0.60 0.44–0.81 .001a

RR adjusted for maternal age, SARS-CoV-2 infection needing in-patients’ treatment, obstetrical reasons urging in-patients’ treatment and history of miscarriage or preterm delivery.

CI, confidence interval; PTB, preterm birth; RR, risk ratio.
