Study finds COVID associated with abnormal placental pathologies in nearly 50% of cohort
Taken together, 50% of the study participants’ placentae exhibited abnormal morphologic features. Furthermore, pregnant women with COVID-19 and abnormal placental morphologies were associated with poor pregnancy outcomes
