Abstract

The study is a follow-up of the study Coronavirus in pregnant patients and their clinical outcomes – results of a case-control study conducted by R. Kadriu et al (2023) in which, in addition to the pregnant patients whose outcome is now being investigated, a control group of patients who were not pregnant, conducted with pregnant patients and a control group that were non-pregnant patients.This study was conducted 6 months after the discharge of the patients and their newborns, and highlights the impact of COVID-19 on their health as well as the health of the newborns. The aim of the study is to follow up the patients after 6 months of their hospitalization as COVID-19 patients and after their delivery. In the COVID study, none of the health indicators showed statistically significant differences between the population before and after hospitalization. Patient data were collected at the case level summarized in their respective groups.For secondary objectives, several comparative analyzes were performed regarding comorbidity-related parameters and available risk factors. A significance level (α) of 0.05 was used for statistical significance. While these results may be reassuring regarding the stability of health status, one should be aware of the limitations of the study, including sample size and specific population characteristics.
