Abstract
Introduction: This study aimed to determine the characteristics of pregnant women diagnosed with
Covid-19 and hospitalized at the Gadjah Mada University Academic Hospital.
Methods: The method in this study is a descriptive research method to illustrate a situation objectively
and without intervention. All pregnant women who seek treatment and are included in the Gadjah Mada
University Academic Hospital study are diagnosed with Covid-19 by RT-PCR.
Results: The object of this study were 210 pregnant female patients diagnosed with Covid-19 until
August 2021. The third trimester dominated the gestational age, and most of them had no symptoms
(asymptomatic). The most dominant symptom was cough. Most of the patients came with referrals from
the puskesmas on the grounds of pregnancy complaints. Most of them are puskesmas referrals with
seven days of treatment in the hospital. Most of the delivery of pregnant women with Covid-19 was by
abdominal delivery.
Conclusion: The clinical characteristics and outcomes of pregnant women with Covid-19 who
underwent treatment varied. Most of them went home from treatment due to improved conditions or
had given birth and continued to self-isolate at home. Nevertheless, it remains a concern that Covid-19
is undoubtedly one of the factors that can cause death in pregnant women.
