Risk Factors Associated with Severe Disease and Intensive Care Unit Admission of Pregnant Patients with COVID-19 Infection-A Retrospective Study.

(1) Background: Pregnant patients with severe forms of coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) can experience adverse pregnancy outcomes. The aim of this study was to retrospectively assess the risk factors associated with admission to the intensive care unit (ICU) of pregnant patients with COVID-19, as well as the pregnancy outcomes of these patients; (2) Methods: Medical records of 31 pregnant patients with COVID-19 admitted to three clinical hospitals from Romania, between October 2020 and November 2021 were examined. The patients were segregated into two groups depending on their clinical evolution: non-ICU admission ( = 19) or ICU admission ( = 12). Clinical and paraclinical findings were evaluated using univariate analysis, and the association of significant risk factors with maternal ICU admission was assessed using a multivariate analysis. Pregnancy outcomes of these patients were also recorded; (3) Results: Pulmonary disease, cough, dyspnea, leukocytosis, thrombocytosis, high serum values of transaminases, serum ferritin, and increased duration of hospital admission were identified as significant risk factors associated with maternal admission to the ICU. No significant differences regarding pregnancy outcomes were noted between the evaluated patients; (4) Conclusions: Specific risk factor identification in pregnant patients with severe forms of COVID-19 could improve the patient's management.
