PHILADELPHIA, May 5, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- Neighborhood characteristics, including poverty and crowding within homes, were associated with higher rates of SARS-CoV-2 in pregnancy during the prevaccination era of the pandemic, according to a new study led by researchers at Children's Hospital of Philadelphia (CHOP). The findings, which were published today in the journal Obstetrics and Gynecology, may partially explain the high rates of COVID-19, the disease caused by SARS-CoV-2, among Black and Hispanic patients.

Key Points: 
  • The findings, which were published today in the journal Obstetrics and Gynecology, may partially explain the high rates of COVID-19, the disease caused by SARS-CoV-2, among Black and Hispanic patients.
  • These disparities have also been reported among pregnant patients, with Hispanic and Black patients more likely to have a positive test result for SARS-CoV-2 infection during pregnancy.
  • Indeed, in prior research, CHOP investigators reported that positivity for SARS-CoV-2 was five times higher among pregnant Black and Hispanic patients compared with pregnant White patients in a hospital-based cohort in Philadelphia.
  • Using statistical tools, the researchers found that deprivation and crowding were associated with positivity for SARS-CoV-2, whereas segregation was not.
