Increasing maternal mortality associated with COVID‐19 and shortage of intensive care is a serious concern in low‐resource settings

Summary: | We read with interest the article by Collin et al. that described an increased risk of requiring intensive care in pregnant or postpartum women with SARS‐CoV‐2 infection, even when considering only cases needing invasive mechanical ventilation (RR: 3.49; 95% CI:1.89‐6.52).1 The results of this study have implications for countries with limited resources, such as Brazil, the current epicenter of the COVID‐19 pandemic. Maternal deaths due to COVID‐19 were not reported in initial studies from China. |
