Abstract: Objectives: To determine a possible correlation between SARS-CoV-2 infection during pregnancy and altered fetal behavior.<br />Methods: Kurjak's antenatal neurodevelopmental test (KANET) was applied from 28 to 40 weeks in 38 gestations (group A) diagnosed with COVID-19 infection during the first week and 43 non-COVID pregnant women (group B).<br />Results: No statistically significant differences considering maternal age (33±3.9 years for group A vs. 31±4.1 years for group B) and gestational age (33±1.6 weeks for group A compared to 33±2.1 weeks for group B) were observed. KANET scores were not different between the two groups.<br />Conclusions: Fetal behavior differences are not altered in women diagnosed with SARS-CoV-2 infection during the third trimester of pregnancy.<br /> (© 2024 Walter de Gruyter GmbH, Berlin/Boston.)
