It's yet another tragic facet of the pandemic.
Among pregnant people with COVID-19, the CDC report suggest, stillbirths were more common when other factors were also present, including chronic high blood pressure, pregnancies with more than one fetus, and complications associated with COVID-19 such as acute respiratory distress syndrome, requiring a mechanical ventilator, and ICU admission.
There were other limitations to the analysis as well. Data was based on hospital discharge codes, so it’s possible that information such as underlying conditions, COVID-19 status, gestational age, and even stillbirth were miscategorized. The report wasn’t able to determine the gestational age of the fetus when COVID-19 infection occurred, which may be a factor experts ultimately realize affects the chances of worse pregnancy outcomes.
