Abstract Background Fetal movements are an important indicator of fetal well-being; therefore, reduced (RFMs) can indicate compromise.

During the last two and a half years, clinical manifestations, disease severity, pregnancy outcomes have differed among pregnant patients with SARS-CoV-2 infection. These changes were preceded by presence of new variants SARS-CoV-2, known in literature as concern. The aim this study is to describe differences between maternal characteristics perinatal women COVID-19 during four waves epidemic Serbia. This retrospective included series 192 who hospitalized due severity their status outbreaks infection Serbia, we compared analyzed three sets variables, including signs, symptoms, infection, endpoints, newborn parameters. dominance Delta variant, duration hospitalization was longest (10.67 ± 1.42 days), frequency stillbirths highest (17.4%), well progression COVID (28.9%) requirement for non-invasive oxygen support (37%). variant associated number prescribed antibiotics (2.35 0.28), most common nosocomial infections (21.7%), corticosteroid therapy use (34.8%). observed concern are potential pathways risk stratification establishment timely proper treatments patients. Early identification possibly some similar features future, should be priority and, perhaps, even an opportunity introduce more accurate predictive algorithms
