PALMA, Aitana; NINO-HUERTAS, Adrian; BENDEZU-QUISPE, Guido e HERRERA-ANAZCO, Percy. Association between the degree of severity of COVID-19 infection during pregnancy and preterm premature rupture of membranes in a level III hospital in Peru. Rev. perú. med. exp. salud publica [online]. 2023, vol.40, n.4, pp.432-440. Epub 18-Dez-2023. ISSN 1726-4634. http://dx.doi.org/10.17843/rpmesp.2023.404.12957.
Objectives.
To determine the association between the degree of severity of COVID-19 infection during pregnancy and preterm premature rupture of membranes (PPROM) in a level III hospital in Peru.
Materials and Methods.
Cross-sectional, analytical and observational study in women older than 18 years diagnosed with COVID-19 infection during pregnancy, between the years 2020 and 2022. Clinical and obstetric variables were collected. The chi-square and Fisher’s exact tests were used for the descriptive analysis. For the multivariate analysis, we calculated the prevalence ratio by using Poisson regression in crude and adjusted models. All statistical tests were performed considering a value of p<0.05 as significant and with a confidence level of 95%.
Results.
We analyzed data from 163 pregnant women with COVID-19, of which 9.2% had PPROM; all were symptomatic cases. Mild COVID-19 cases were 1.10 times more likely to have PPROM (RPa=1.10; 95%CI: 1.02-1.18) and moderate/severe cases were 1.64 times more likely (RPa=1.64; 95%CI: 1.43-1.87), compared to asymptomatic cases.
Conclusions.
We identified that a higher degree of severity of COVID-19 infection during pregnancy was associated with a higher probability of having PPROM.
