Researchers analyze National Registry data on perinatal COVID

In response to the critical need for information on how the COVID-19 pandemic would impact newborns, in March 2020 researchers from Children’s Hospital of Philadelphia (CHOP) partnered with researchers at University of Florida and with the American Academy of Pediatrics to launch the National Registry for the Surveillance and Epidemiology of Perinatal COVID-19. This registry ultimately collected data from 242 birth centers across the United States and included more than 8,000 pregnant persons and their newborns.
