What's new in midwifery - 16th August 2021 (part 1)

Got a bit behind (again).    First, some COVID related things you might need to know about:

First, an umbrella review of COVID-19 and pregnancy, covering clinical presentation, vertical transmission, and outcomes for mother and baby.

And then a systematic review and meta analysis of data, looking at clinical presentation and outcomes based on severity of infection.

And a Maternal, Newborn and Infant Clinical Outcome Review Programme rapid report about learning from COVID related maternal deaths in the UK.


News items

How mixed messaging might be driving vaccine hesistancy in pregnant women in the UK (a few weeks old now, this one).

The Preg-CoV trial which is looking at gaps between vaccine doses.

The number of pregnant women in ICU with COVID.

All in the Guardian, those three.

The research discovered through McMaster's Evidence Alert.
