Abstract

Background: COVID-19 is an infectious disease that attacks the respiratory tract. Pregnancy is considered as a risk factor because during pregnancy several physiological changes occur, namely increased expression of ACE2, changes in the respiratory system, and changes in the immune system, which make pregnant women more susceptible to SARS-CoV-2 infection. 

Objective: This study aims to determine the relationship between the characteristics of pregnant women and the incidence of COVID-19.

Methods: This observational analytic study used 51 samples of pregnant women, both infected with COVID-19 and those who were not, which were taken using a total sampling technique. The characteristics of pregnant women were taken through secondary data in the form of medical records at K.R.M.T. Wongsonegoro Regional Public Hospital Semarang, then analyzed univariately and bivariately using Spearman's test and contingency coefficient.

Results: The results obtained from the bivariate analysis were p = 0.863 (> 0.005) for the comorbid history variable, p = 0.367 (> 0.005) for the body mass index variable, and p = 0.423 (> 0.005) for the hypertension incident variable.

Conclusion: The results of this study concluded that there was no correlation between the characteristics of pregnant women (history of comorbidities, body mass index, and incidence of hypertension) with the incidence of COVID-19 in patients at K.R.M.T. Wongsonegoro Regional Public Hospital Semarang.
