Abstract

At first, The clinical trials for the COVID-19 vaccine excluded pregnant women. Conversely, observational research has demonstrated that immunization of pregnant women is relatively safe. In such scenario, it is crucial to look at the potential relationship between the different COVID-19 vaccination kinds and the likelihood of an abortion. Finding a link between pregnancy termination and the several COVID-19 types is the aim of this investigation.
vaccinations administered in Al-Dewaniyah City. This study was a retrospective cross-sectional analysis that was carried out at three private general hospitals in the city of Al-Dewaniyah. During the course of the research project, data was collected from pregnant women who were hospitalized for the purpose of having an abortion through the use of computerized medical records and telephone interviews. After that, women were questioned in order to achieve the goal of gathering information. received, as well as the outcome of their current pregnancy (whether it resulted in abortion or not). The study includes the medical data of 107 women who were diagnosed with abortion. Among them, 13.1% were able to successfully continue their pregnancy. Women who received vaccinations had a substantially lower gestational age compared to those without vaccines, and a greater chance of diabetes (OR: 0.09, 95% CI: 0.01-0.89, p=0.040) and hypertension (OR: 3.1, 95% CI: 1.34-6.97, p=0.008). An increased risk of receiving COVID-19 immunizations was not demonstrated to be associated with spontaneous abortion (odds ratio: 1.07, 95% confidence interval: 0.21–5.49, p =0.937). Vaccination against COVID-19 does not increase the risk of abortion in the population of expectant mothers who get the shot in the first or second trimester of their pregnancy. The results about the safety of giving vaccinations to pregnant women during the early phases of pregnancy need to be confirmed by carrying out more clinical trials.
