“…In previous studies, there have been various views regarding the complications that can occur in newborns of COVID-19 positive mothers [4][5][6][7][8]. According to Nayak et al, hypoxic ischemic encephalopathy, meconium-stained amniotic uid, and CS increased, but other results showed no signi cant differences [6].…”

“…Additionally, cases reviewed in meta-analyses are based on case series. There were no differences in the preterm birth and neurological outcomes in neonates born to mothers with COVID-19 and uninfected mothers [4][5][6][7][8][9][10]. Few studies have been conducted on full-term infants [11].…”

“…Therefore, numerous studies are being conducted for each known mutation [1]. However, there have been few studies on how each variant affects newborns, and fewer studies on respiratory symptoms that can occur in newborns [4][5][6][7][8][9][10].…”

Background: Research of coronavirus disease (COVID-190 effects on newborns is ongoing. But the research of specific variant’s effects is none. This study analyzed the effects of the Omicron variant on the perinatal outcome of full-term newborns during the pandemic.Methods: Between December 2021 and April 2022, this study was conducted on all newborns who visited a single center. We investigated due to the Omicron maternal infection maternal pregnancy complications, delivery methods, birth week, Apgar scores, neonatal resuscitation program requirement, whether respiratory support was required until 12 h after childbirth, suspicious infectious status, and mortality depending on maternal Omicron infection.Results: A total of 127 neonates were enrolled, and 12 were excluded based on exclusion criteria. Sixteen neonates were born to mothers with a history of Omicron COVID-19, and 99 were born to non-infectious mothers. All infected mothers became infected in the 3rd trimester. Of the 16 mothers, seven had symptomatic, and four met the isolation criteria, according to Korean guidelines. The birth weight of newborns to mothers with COVID history and those without was 2.958 ± 0.272 kg and 3.064 ± 0.461 kg (p=0.049), respectively. The 5-min Apgar score at childbirth was 9.29 ± 0.756 and 9.78 ± 0.460, for neonates born to symptomatic and asymptomatic mothers (p=0.019), respectively. When compared with or without maternal self-isolation, patients requiring needing respiratory support 12 h after birth demonstrated a significant difference (p=0.014; OR, 10.275). Additionally, the presence or absence of transient tachypnea of the newborn showed a significant value (p=0.010; OR 11.929).Conclusions: Owing to Omicron COVID-19, newborns were born with low birth weight, low 5-min Apgar scores, and required respiratory support until 12 h after birth.

Background Research of coronavirus disease (COVID-19) effects on newborns is ongoing. But the research of specific variant’s effects is none. This study analyzed the effects of the Omicron variant on the perinatal outcomes of full-term newborns during the Omicron wave period. Methods Between December 2021 and April 2022, this study was conducted on all newborns who visited a single center. We investigated due to the Omicron maternal infection maternal pregnancy complications, delivery methods, birth week, Apgar scores, neonatal resuscitation program requirement, whether respiratory support was required until 12 h after childbirth, suspicious infectious status, and mortality depending on maternal Omicron infection.
