Description
Marina Sourouni and a large team ask whether carrying twins or more raises COVID-19 risks in pregnancy, in this 2023 Europe PMC paper. Pregnant women with the infection already face higher rates of intensive care and breathing support than non-pregnant women. A growing uterus limits lung capacity, and a multiple pregnancy may squeeze it earlier and harder.
Data came from a German registry of more than five thousand women with symptomatic infection during pregnancy. Just under two hundred carried multiples; the rest carried singletons. The team compared a combined adverse maternal outcome between the groups. The study tests whether multiple gestation itself counts as a risk factor for severe maternal illness.
