Definition and categorization of the timing of mother-to-child transmission of SARS-CoV-2

World Health Organization WHO (2021) C_WHO

The WHO COVID-19 LENS (Living Evidence Synthesis) working group consolidated available evidence, based on rapid reviews of the literature and results of a living systematic review on pregnancy and COVID-19 (up to October 7, 2020), on potential mechanisms of vertical transmission of infectious pathogens, feasibility of vertical transmission of SARS-CoV-2, data related to interpretation of positive SARS-CoV-2 virologic and serologic neonatal tests, lessons from diagnosis of other congenital infections, and existing proposed definitions to classify timing of vertical transmission of SARS-CoV-2

Do no harm: Maternal, newborn and infant care during COVID-19

UN Children's Fund (2021) CC

his brief summarizes current evidence and guidance for maintaining safe and effective care across the spectrum of maternal, newborn and infant care while protecting mother and child and health care providers during COVID-19. Furthermore, implications of the principle of “do no harm” are reviewed for maternal, newborn and infant care delivery during COVID-19, so that this information is conveniently and readily available to clinical and health system policy leaders and stakeholders in countries and communities. Additionally, considerations for safe oxygen delivery as well as key Infection Prevention and Control (IPC) measures at home and in healthcare facilities for pregnant women, newborns and children are described in detail in the brief

Direct and indirect effects of COVID-19 on maternal and child health in Bangladesh

M. M. Ahmmed; M. A. Babu; J. Ferdosy (2021) CC

Bangladesh has been going through incremental trend of GDP growth rates for a long time. The GDP is the key aspect to measure the economic growth of a country. But the current world wide pandemic due to the COVID-19 hardly affects the world’s economy as well as Bangladesh. The present lockdown make the wheel of the industries uncertain. The main source of the GDP of this country is ready made garment sector which has been shut down since mid of March 2020. Already 20 billion of cancellation of foreign order makes the situation worse. Also, the foreign remittance has been decline dramatically due to the loss of jobs of Bangladeshi workers in foreign countries. The overall economic situation declines in this country due to the COVID-19 which has huge impact on the health care system especially in maternal and child health. In this paper, the economic situation of Bangladesh before and during the COVID-19 has been shown. Also, how the COVID-19 would affect the conditio

Neonatal outcomes of pre-diagnosed COVID-19 positive mothers in Nigeria

B. Ezenwa; Fajolu, I.; Makwe, C.; et al. (2021) CC

COVID-19 infection affects all age groups including newborns, however, literature is scarce on the fetal and neonatal outcomes of babies exposed in-utero, especially in Africa. The objectiveof this study was to document the perinatal outcomes of COVID-19 pregnancies and deliveries that occurredduring the pandemic in Nigeria

The impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on child health and the provision of Care in Paediatric Emergency Departments

Conlon C., T. McDonnell, M. Barrett, et al. BMC (2021) CC

The COVID-19 pandemic and subsequent public health guidance to reduce the spread of the diseasehave wide-reaching implications for children’s health and wellbeing. Furthermore, paediatric emergency departments(EDs) have rapidly adapted provision of care in response to the pandemic. This qualitative study utilized insight frommultidisciplinary frontline staff to understand the changes in paediatric emergency healthcare utilization duringCOVID-19 the experiences of working within the restructured health system

Impact of COVID‑19 pandemic on maternal and child health services in Uttar Pradesh, India

Singh, A. K.; P. K. Jain; N. P. Singh; et al. (2021) CC

In the wake of the Covid‑19 Pandemic, parts of the public health system at increased risk of reduced efficiency include healthcare services for women and children. This in turn could reverse all the progress achieved over the years in reducing maternal and child mortality. In this study, an attempt has been made to assess the indirect effect of the pandemic on maternal and child health services in public health facilities

A prospective cohort study investigating maternal, pregnancy and neonatal outcomes for women and neonates infected with SARS-CoV-2

World Health Organization WHO (2020) C_WHO

Generic protocol This protocol outlines a prospective cohort study investigating the outcomes of pregnant or recently pregnant women infected with SARS-CoV-2 (exposed) compared to pregnant or recently pregnant women not infected with SARS-CoV-2 during pregnancy (unexposed). The purpose of this study is to determine if SARS-CoV-2 infection during pregnancy increases the risk of adverse pregnancy, postpartum or neonatal outcomes. Additionally, the study characterizes the clinical spectrum of COVID-19 in pregnant women, quantify (if any) the rate of in utero/intrapartum/postnatal transmission, determine the incidence of detectable SARS-CoV-2 RNA in pregnancy-related fluids (i.e. amniotic fluid), breast milk and tissues, and follow clinical outcomes of women and their newborns up to 6 weeks after childbirth
