Racial and ethnic disparities in severity of COVID-19 disease in pregnancy in the United States.

Throughout the COVID-19 pandemic, limited racial and ethnic data have been published about the prevalence and severity of the disease in pregnant women. Ethical approval was obtained from the Brigham and Women's Hospital Institutional Review Board. The present study reviewed the cases of women at an academic hospital-based obstetrics practice diagnosed with COVID-19 during pregnancy or within eight weeks postpartum and abstracted data from electronic medical records including demographics, pregnancy, neonatal, and COVID-19 outcomes.
