About this study

Official title: Clinical and Epidemiological Characteristics of COVID-19 Infection on Babies of Prenatal COVID-19 Positive Women in Turkey

The investigators aimed to investigate the clinical and epidemiological characteristics of neonates who will be born to Covid-19 positive mothers in Turkey. It is a multicentric prospective cohort study designed and destined only in Turkey. The investigators are planning to admit more than 20 Neonatal Intensive Care Units into the survey; nevertheless, the total number may change according to the prevalence of Covid-19 in neonates.

The investigators will also inquire into vertical transmission by collecting cord blood, placental, and postnatal serum samples to test for Covid-19 PCR and Covid-19 Ig M and IgG values from the neonates.

Read the detailed description

The patients will be recruited by a secure database of "Trials Network" with individualized accounts. Plexus Corporation will hold data monitoring and primary analysis.
