Clinical course of severe and critical COVID-19 in hospitalized pregnancies: a US cohort study 2020-05-08 .txt text/plain 4582 240 51 This is a multi-center cohort study on pregnant women admitted to the hospital for treatment of severe and/or critical COVID-19 infection from March 5 to April 20, 2020. The primary outcome was median duration (from hospital admission to discharge) overall and for women with severe versus critical COVID-19 infection. The clinical course of disease in hospitalized pregnant women with severe or critical COVID-19 infection seems to be similar to non-pregnant persons in the limited available studies. As there are currently few reports of severe or critical COVID-19 infections in pregnant women, this study seeks to describe these patients and their clinical progression. One useful variable is time: in our data, pregnant women with COVID-19 who developed critical disease and needed intubation progressed quickly from admission on day 7 from symptom onset to intubation on day 9. To date, we are not aware of a larger cohort study examining specifically the disease course of pregnant women hospitalized with molecular test confirmed severe or critical COVID-19. ./cache/cord-306453-w1sxap5p.txt ./txt/cord-306453-w1sxap5p.txt
