Objectives To assess the rates of SARS-CoV-2 positivity in babies born to mothers with SARS-CoV-2 infection, the timing of mother-to-child transmission and perinatal outcomes, and factors associated with SARS-CoV-2 status in offspring.
Design Living systematic review and meta-analysis.
Data sources Major databases between 1 December 2019 and 25 April 2022.
Study selection Cohort studies of pregnant and recently pregnant women (including after abortion or miscarriage) who sought hospital care for any reason and had a diagnosis of SARS-CoV-2 infection, and also provided data on offspring SARS-CoV-2 status and risk factors for positivity. Case series and case reports were also included to assess the timing and likelihood of mother-to-child transmission in SARS-CoV-2 positive babies.
Data extraction Two reviewers independently extracted data and assessed study quality. A random effects model was used to synthesise data for rates, with associations reported using odds ratios and 95% con
1. In this scoping review, spiritual care offered by the medical team typically led to more referrals to hospice and was associated with less aggressive end-of-life treatments. 2. In addition, it was found that end-of-life preferences differ based on religious denominations: Buddhists and Taoists received more aggressive end-of-life care, while Catholics were less likely to
