Demographics
A total of 23 perinatal women who tested positive for SARS-CoV-2
consented to being contacted for further research. 18 of these were
recruited to this study and completed the questionnaires, representing a
78% uptake rate. Of the 38 women who took part in the study, the mean
age was 32 (±6.6), 66% were Caucasian, and 74% (n=28) were multiparous
women. Full demographics are detailed in Table 1. Age, parity,
self-reported education level, marital status, income status, and
general health and well-being were equally represented between COVID and
Non-COVID cohorts. 95% (n=19) of the Non-COVID cohort were Caucasian,
while 67% (n=12) of the pregnant women who had COVID-19 during
pregnancy were not Caucasian. This relation between ethnicity and COVID
status was significant (x2=16.01, p<0.0001).
