About this study

This proposal aims to provide a multi-faceted approach to addressing perinatal COVID-19 infection by (1) improving our understanding of SARS-CoV-2 antibody specificity and durability over the course of pregnancy/postpartum in mother/baby dyad (2) understanding the downstream implications of maternal systemic inflammatory response with COVID-19 infection through study of fetal inflammatory response, placental pathology, and perinatal outcomes, and (3) to evaluate the interplay between socioeconomic characteristics, COVID-19, and early neonatal outcomes. (4) Evaluate antibody generation and durability in pregnant/breastfeeding women who receive any form of the COVID-19 vaccine

Primary outcomes

  1. Maternal COVID-19 serology (IgG and IgM)

    Time frame: 6 weeks post partum

    IgG/IgM time profile through pregnancy up to 6 weeks post partum for those exposed to COVID-19

  2. Maternal/neonatal IgG and IgM concordance

    Time frame: Delivery

    IgG/IgM at delivery in mother/neonate through maternal and cord blood sampling

  3. Maternal COVID serology time/profile following vaccination

    Time frame: 6 months

    Baseline, 1m, 3m, 6m post second vaccine dose

  4. Breastmilk Serology

    Time frame: 6months

    Breastmilk IgG and IgA time profile following COVID vaccine in breastfeeding women

Secondary outcomes

  1. Breastmilk Serology

    Time frame: Delivery

    COVID-19 IgG and IgA in breast milk

  2. Breastmilk Serology

    Time frame: 6 weeks post partum

    COVID-19 IgG and IgA in breastmilk

  3. Cytokine

    Time frame: Delivery

    Compare maternal COVID (+) and COVID (-) cytokine panel

  4. Neonatal cytokine

    Time frame: Delivery

    Compare cordblood cytokine panel between COVID(+) and COVID (-) at delivery

  5. COVID disease vs vaccination immune response

    Time frame: 6 months

    Compare maternal IgG concentration time/profile in those with COVID disease vs COVID vaccine

  6. COVID vaccine in pregnant vs nonpregnant

    Time frame: 6 months

    Compare maternal IgG concentration/time profile in pregnant vs non-pregnant women with vaccine
