Twenty-two met inclusion criteria. pooled COVID-19-infected 11.5% (95% CI: 7.4–17.3%), significant heterogeneity (I² = 93%). Newborns had higher developing RDS, ratio (RR) 2.69 1.77 4.17). have substantially increased RDS. These findings emphasize need vigilant monitoring appropriate management pregnant women mitigate adverse outcomes.
