description Objective This study systematically analyzed coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) and vaccination details during pregnancy by using the national health insurance claims data. Methods Population-based retrospective cohort data of 12,399,065 women aged 15–49 years were obtained from the Korea National Health Insurance Service claims database between 2019 and 2021. Univariate analysis was performed to compare the obstetric outcomes of pregnant women (ICD-10 O00–O94) and their newborns (ICD-10 P00–P96) with and without COVID-19. Univariate analysis was also performed to compare the age and obstetric outcomes of pregnant women receiving different types of vaccines. Results The percentage of pregnant women with COVID-19 during pregnancy was 0.11%. Some obstetric outcomes of pregnant women with COVID-19, including the rates of preterm birth or cesarean delivery, were significantly better than those of pregnant women without COVID-19. The rate of miscarriage was higher in pregnant women with COVID-19 than without COVID-19. However, the outcomes of newborns of women with and without COVID-19 were not significantly different. Regarding vaccination type, obstetric outcomes of pregnant women appeared to be worse with the viral vector vaccine than with the mRNA vaccine. Conclusion To the best of our knowledge, this is the first study to systematically analyze COVID-19 and vaccination details during pregnancy using the national health insurance claims data in Korea. The obstetric outcomes in pregnant women with and without COVID-19 and their newborns were similar.
