“…Viral load in the infected mother may be another contributing factor for the vertical transmission ( Qiu et al, 2020 ; Fan et al, 2021 ). Neonatal death due to COVID-19 was only reported in four cases throughout the studies in Iran ( Rashidian et al, 2020 ; Moeindarbary et al, 2021 ; Vizheh et al, 2021 ).…”

Since its emergence in China in 2019, the SARS-CoV-2 virus has affected all countries worldwide. The virus is easily transmitted from one person to another via infected aerosols or contaminated surfaces. Unlike its counterparts, the prognosis of COVID-19 ranges from asymptomatic to critical disease or death. Several factors play a role in determining the severity of the disease in infected patients. Among others, is the pre-existence of an underlying medical condition such as diabetes, cancer, and others. Furthermore, although children are less prone to the severe form of the COVID-19 disease, they require attention due to the report of many atypical presentations of the infection, post-asymptomatic exposure. In the Middle East, little is known about the prognosis of the SARS-CoV-2 infection in high-risk categories, notably patients with diabetes, cancer, and pregnant women. The aim of this review is to summarize the current knowledge about this group of population in the middle eastern region as well as to highlight the gap in the literature. We have found that the majority of the papers were from the Gulf countries. Although, few studies were conducted; high-risk patients appear to have an increased risk of morbidity and mortality from COVID-19 compared to their counterparts. Higher levels of inflammatory markers, C-reactive protein, erythrocyte sedimentation rate, D-dimer, and ferritin levels were also observed. Children are often asymptomatic or present with atypical presentations. More studies should be conducted to determine the clinical biomarkers of COVID-19 in high-risk categories to help in patient risk stratification and management in the middle eastern population.

“…In one study, Eman [11] reported an ICU mortality rate of 42.1%, representing all eight COVID-19 pregnant patients who were intubated and mechanically ventilated. Lokken [3] and Moieindarbary [12] reported only one patient admitted to the ICU, who subsequently died of respiratory failure after a prolonged ICU stay despite multiple COVID-19 therapeutics, which is a 100% mortality rate. Lucovnik [6] reported a 33.33% mortality rate in critically ill pregnant patients.…”

Background: Critical COVID-19 patients account for 1.7 to 13% of all pregnant COVID-19 patients. Methods: Patients admitted to the COVID-19 intensive care unit of Elena Doamna Obstetrics and Gynecology University Hospital in Iasi between 1 January and 1 December 2021, with critical forms of the disease, were included and retrospectively studied. The patients’ age range was 25–44 years in the Alpha group (n = 12) and 27–52 years in the Delta group (n = 9). Results: Most critically ill pregnant COVID-19 patients in the Alpha group delivered when admitted to the intensive care unit, while less than half of those in the Delta group delivered when admitted; the rest were released home and continued their pregnancy normally. There was a significant difference regarding the number of patients released to home care and the number of days after admission when delivery occurred (p = 0.02 and 0.022, respectively). Conclusions: There was no significant difference in maternal and fetal outcomes between the two groups, except for the number of patients released to home care and the number of days after admission when delivery occurred. There was no correlation between any Brixia scores (H, L, A, E) and any maternal or fetal outcomes in both groups.
