Conclusion:
Even though pregnant women are already recognized as a high-risk group by the WHO and should have equal access to safe and effective preventive and therapeutic measures, pregnant women with additional risk factors require special attention. Evidence suggests that advanced maternal age and high body mass index are associated with a greater risk of severe COVID-19 in pregnant women. Furthermore, pregnant women with COVID-19 have been found to have higher rates of preterm birth compared to those without the disease. Therefore, it is crucial that healthcare providers closely monitor pregnant women with these risk factors and provide appropriate care to mitigate the risk of adverse outcomes.
