PROBLEMATIC ASPECTS OF THE INFLUENCE OF COVID-19 ON THE COURSE OF PREGNANCY AND NEONATAL OUTCOME (LITERATURE REVIEW)

This literature review provides information on the impact of the new coronavirus infection (COVID-19) on possible complications from the reproductive system, on the course of pregnancy, the risk of transmission of the SARSCoV-2 virus from mother to fetus, the choice of delivery method, and the importance of vaccination during pre – gravid preparation. Particular attention is paid to complications during pregnancy: with coronovirus infection, premature births are more common, premature babies are born with low body weight, and the frequency of caesarean section is higher. In addition, during pregnancy, there is an increased susceptibility to developing hypertension and gestational diabetes mellitus, which are now recognized risk factors for the development of severe acute respiratory syndrome caused by coronaviruses, including SARS-CoV-2. However, there are still insufficient data to assess the impact of SARS-CoV-2 infection on the health of pregnant women and newborns. The main aspects of international professional communities such as the Royal College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists of Great Britain, the Joint Com mittee on Vaccination and Immunization.
