The association between SARS-CoV-2 infection and late pregnancy loss

Evidence of SARS-CoV-2 vertical transmission is scarce. At present, the influence of SARS-CoV-2 as a cause of late pregnancy loss is unclear. Increases in stillbirth rates have been reported during the pandemic [1]; however, only a few cases of late pregnancy loss were deemed to be related to SARS-CoV-2 infection [2, 3]. The present study sought to assess whether SARS-CoV-2 vertical transmission is a contributing factor to late pregnancy loss.
