DIAGNOSES AND COMPLICATIONS OF NEONATES OF COVID-19 POSITIVE MOTHERS

Abstract

Introduction: Pregnant women and newborns were characterized as a risk group during the SARS-CoV-2 virus pandemic. Vertical transmission from mother to newborn still seems to be unlikely, and there is a gap in the literature on the subject. Objectives: To identify the diagnoses of newborns born to mothers who were infected with SARS-COV-2 at the time of delivery, admitted to rooming-in or Neonatal Intensive Care Unit in a hospital in the interior of the state of São Paulo. Methodology: The research will be developed in a Tertiary Hospital in the interior of the state of São Paulo, through a cross-sectional study through the documentary analysis of medical records of newborns with 0 days of life until their discharge, admitted to Rooming-in and Neonatal ICU, whose mothers were positive with COVID-19 at birth, from December 31, 2019 to September 30, 2022.
