Özet
Objectives: This study aimed to evaluate the effect of SARS-CoV-2 on pregnancy complications, which increased compared to the same period before the pandemic. Material and methods: This prospective study was conducted at Etlik Zübeyde Hanım Women›s Health Practices & Research Center between June 2020 and July 2020. The asymptomatic term PROM and miscarriage pregnant women were screened for SARS-CoV-2 (severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus-2) positivity by using IgM and IgG antibody tests. All the positive cases were confirmed by real-time reverse transcriptase-polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR). All the patients answered 12 questions to determine their approach to COVID-19. Results: Four of the 205 (2%) term PROM patients had positive anti-SARS-CoV-2 IgM antibody tests, one of the 205 (0.5%) term PROM patients had a positive anti-SARS-CoV-2 IgG antibody test, and one of the 205 (% 0.5) term PROM patients had positive anti-SARS-CoV-2 IgM and IgG antibody tests. All 230 miscarriage patients had negative IgM/IgG antibody tests. Four of the positive antibody cases had positive RT-PCR tests (2%) and were referred to a pandemic hospital. The patients thought that 93.2% and 95.6% of pregnant women with term PROM and miscarriage, respectively, SARS-CoV-2 would infect them-selves, and 89.8% and 92.6%, respectively, would infect their children. The number of patients who would not consider pregnancy if they were not pregnant during this period was significantly higher in the term PROM (48.3%) compared to the miscarriage (27.8%) patients (p < 0.005). Conclusions: No COVID-19 cases were determined in the asymptomatic miscarriage patients. In the asymptomatic term PROM patients, the effects of COVID were not observed
