Abstract

Objectives: To describe the epidemiological profile of pregnant and postpartum women with severe acute respiratory syndrome (SARS) caused by severe acute respiratory syndrome corona virus (SARS-CoV-2) in Amazonas. Methods: This quantitative, cross-sectional study extracted data from pregnant and postpartum women residing in the state of Amazonas who were notified in the Influenza Epidemiological Surveillance Information System
(SIVEP-Gripe) and had a confirmed diagnosis of SARS during corona virus disease (COVID-19) from February 16, 2020, to December 31, 2021. Sociodemographic data and clinical characteristics, such as admission to the intensive care unit, use of ventilatory support, use of antiviral therapy, and outcomes were collected. Data were analyzed
and presented with relative frequencies. Results and Discussion: During the study period, Amazonas recorded 828 cases of SARS caused by SARS-CoV-2 in pregnant and postpartum women. Of these, 58 patients remained in progress with no outcomes. Most women were aged between 20 and 34 years, educated to high school level, lived in urban areas, and were in the third trimester of pregnancy at the time of diagnosis. Predominant clinical manifestation
was cough, respiratory distress, fever, and dyspnea. The most frequent comorbidities were asthma, chronic cardiovascular diseases, diabetes mellitus, and obesity. 19.7% of pregnant and postpartum women were admitted to the intensive care unit (ICU). Of these, 70.6% needed invasive mechanical ventilation, 80.2% antiviral therapy, and 79 patients (10.3%) died. Conclusion: This study characterized the epidemiological profile of pregnant and postpartum women with SARS caused by SARS-CoV-2 in Amazonas and showed a high death rate during the study period, especially in the capital.
