The incidence and the outcomes of the study group was compared with non covid carriers after matching the maternal age and gestational age. This research showed that the association between the medical disorders – anemia, hypothyroidism, SGA and asymptomatic covid carriers were highly significant with p-value<0.01. The other Medical Conditions including Cholestasis of pregnancy, GDM, GHTN, primary cesarean section rate, oligohydramnios also showed significant correlation with p-value<0.05. But no significant association could be established between the study group and control group in terms of miscarriages, chronic hypertension, IUD, IUGR, low apgar with NICU stay, abruption, pre eclampsia and preterm delivery.
