Abstract Background To describe the impact on maternal and perinatal outcomes of the Delta variant of COVID-19 compared to the pre-Delta period in pregnant women with COVID-19 infections in one large public, non-profit hospital system. Methods We conducted a retrospective chart review of identified COVID-19 diagnosed pregnant women with the outcome of pregnancy (livebirth or stillbirths). We assessed maternal and perinatal outcomes between the pre-delta and Delta variant time periods. Results A study cohort of 173 mother-baby dyads was identified from January 2020 to November 2021. Maternal outcomes showed a higher rate of cesarean section (33.8%,49%; p = 0.047), with a higher frequency for worsening maternal condition due to COVID-19 (2.8%, 13.7%; p = 0.016) and association with non-reassuring fetal heart tones as indications for cesarean Sect. (53.8%, 95%; p = 0.008) during the Delta time period. There were more preterm births (16.9%, 32.4%; p = 0.023) even when excluding stillbirths (16.9%,30%; p = 0.05). Cesarean section due to “worsening maternal condition” was an independent risk factors for early delivery (β = 2.66, 93.32–62.02, p |
