Sponsors This registry is a project promoted by Dr. Oscar Martínez Pérez of the Obstetrics and Gynaecology department of the Puerta de Hierro University Hospital. Principal investigator of the registry National coordinator: Dr. Óscar Martínez Pérez. Obstetrics and Gynaecology Department. Puerta de Hierro University Hospital. Majadahonda. Epidemiologist: Maria Luisa de la Cruz Conti Researchers for each site: 100 sites from 32 Spanish provinces are included (Appendix 1) Funding Neither the hospitals nor the participating investigators will receive any financial compensation for their collaboration. A bank account has been opened at the hospital's Biomedical Research Foundation to receive donations: COV20/00021 - SARS-COV-2 and the COVID-19 disease Call financed by the Carlos III Institute of Health and co-financed with ERDF funds. Abstract Rationale: Knowledge about the impact of the SARS-CoV-2 virus on pregnancy is still scarce and all current recommendations are based on less than 100 cases published in the literature. To identify moderate effects (such as vertical transmission, obstetric morbidity, foetal death, maternal or neonatal death) and to allow accurate risk estimates, larger sample sizes than those currently available are required. Methods: Prospective observational study of pregnant women in whom SARS-CoV-2 infection is suspected at any time during pregnancy with positive test results for SARS-CoV-2, in order to create a registry of baseline characteristics of the pregnant woman, aspects related to the course of pregnancy and delivery, and related to the new-born, with an observation period of up to 14 days after delivery. Subsequently, several phased studies will be conducted to help establish and monitor the set of measures to improve the care of pregnant women. Discussion: The national registry for COVID-19 in pregnancy described here is a tool for sharing and centralizing data related to exposures to SARS-CoV-2 during pregnancy in a structured way. It should speed up the process of prospectively obtaining a large unbiased data set and will collect information at national level.
