Variations across Europe in hospitalization and management of pregnant women with <scp>SARS‐CoV</scp>‐2 during the initial phase of the pandemic: Multi‐national population‐based cohort study using the International Network of Obstetric Survey Systems (<scp>INOSS</scp>)

Abstract

During the initial months of the pandemic, we found substantial variations in incidence of COVID-19-related admissions in nine European countries. Few pregnant women received COVID-19-directed medical treatment. Several barriers to rapid surveillance were identified. Investment in robust surveillance should be prioritized to prepare for future pandemics.
