Abstract

Aims: The present study aims to find the relationship between the COVID-19 pandemic and early pregnancy abortions. Methods: The abortion materials observed in the endometrial curettage cases between March 11 and November 30 during the 2020 pandemic period were compared with the those were observed at the same time in 2019. The placentas of COVID-19 positive patients and those of early abortion in the previous year were compared. Furthermore, the relationship between the blood type and covid 19 related abortions were examined. This retrospective study applies various statistical tests to analyze the relationship between COVID-19 and abortions. Findings: The data collected from the samples in 2019 and 2020 were analyzed statistically. Significant differences were found between the causes of miscarriages in 2019 and 2020. Conclusion: The results indicated that there were significant vascular changes in the placentas of pregnant women among the cases of early abortions due to COVID-19 during the pandemic period. In addition, a significant relation was found between ARH+ blood type and COVID-19 on miscarriages. The results suggest that COVID-19 is one of the main causes of early pregnancy abortions.
