Abstract |
The COVID-19 global pandemic has broad implications for obstetrical care and perinatal outcomes. As we approach the 2-year mark into an unprecedented international pandemic, this review presents the progress and opportunities for research related to COVID-19 and pregnancy. Research is the basis for evidence-based clinical guidelines, and we aim to provide the structure and guidance for framing COVID-19–related obstetrical research. This structure will pertain not only to this pandemic but future ones as well.

SMFM recognizes that obstetrical patients have diverse gender identities and is striving to use gender-inclusive language in all of its publications. SMFM will be using the terms “pregnant person or persons” or “pregnant individual or individuals” instead of “pregnant woman or women” and will be using the singular pronoun “they.” When describing study populations used in research, SMFM will use the gender terminology reported by the study investigators. |
