Currently available data on COVID-19 does not indicate that pregnant women are at increased risk.
However, pregnant women are known to be at greater risk of severe morbidity and mortality from other respiratory infections such as influenza and SARS-CoV.
As such, pregnant women should be considered an at-risk population for COVID-19.
Adverse infant outcomes (eg, preterm birth) have been reported among infants born to mothers positive for COVID-19 during pregnancy.
However, this information is based on limited data and it is not clear that these outcomes were related to maternal infection.
Currently it is unclear if COVID-19 can cross through the transplacental route to the fetus.
While travel history is always an essential component of medical history intake, obstetrician-gynecologists and other health care practitioners should be vigilant in obtaining a detailed travel history as well as a history of exposure to people with symptoms of COVID-19 for all patients, including pregnant women presenting with fever or acute respiratory illness and should follow the CDC’s Interim Clinical Guidance for Management of Patients with Confirmed 2019 Novel Coronavirus (2019-nCoV) Infection and guidance for Evaluating and Reporting Persons Under Investigation (PUI).
ACOG si obiectivele sale
The American College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists (ACOG) is a voluntary non-profit professional organization dedicated to serving as a strong advocate for quality health care for women; maintaining the highest standards of clinical practice and continuing education of its members; promoting patient education and stimulating patient understanding of and involvement in medical care; and increasing awareness among its members and the public of the changing issues facing women’s health care.
The ACOG was founded in Chicago in 1951 and currently consists of more than 37,000 physicians specializing in obstetric-gynecological care.
The College promotes a number of specialized programs including its adolescent health care program, the National Fetal and Infant Mortality Review Program, and its awareness program to prevent violence against women.
The ACOG has a long-standing interest in the development of adequate and comprehensive health services for adolescents, especially in regard to reproductive health services.
Since 1964, the College has conducted organized activities in the area of adolescent health and produced numerous policy statements, committee opinions, and other reports on issues of particular importance to this population.
National Fetal and Infant Mortality Review Program (FIMR)
The National Fetal and Infant Mortality Review Program (FIMR) is an action-oriented community process that continually assesses, monitors, and works to improve service systems and community resources for women, infants, and families.
When infant mortality occurs, trained staff reviews medical and other records of the infant and mother to gather information.
When staff members interview the mother, they obtain essential information and ensure that the family is linked with needed resources.
A multi-disciplinary team then reviews case summaries with all identification removed with the objective of recommending actions to improve services or resources.
Finally, a community action team works to implement and track recommendations.
Over the years, the ACOG and the Maternal and Child Health Bureau have worked together as partners to refine and promote the FIMR process by funding demonstration projects, providing training and technical assistance, and developing the NFIMR resource center.
The resource center assists in establishing FIMRs and fine-tuning specific aspects of the process in established programs; in addition, the center works with states to explore methods to manage multiple reviews and to identify models that integrate local FIMR recommendations into regional or statewide assessments.
Resurse si educatie pentru prevenire violentei
The American College of Obstetricians also has established a departmental web site dedicated to providing information for both physicians and their patients to help prevent violence against women.
In addition, the College conducts an annual clinical meeting, offers postgraduate courses, and provides professional publications and materials including journals, ACOG guidelines, the “ACOG Update,” coding resources, outpatient encounter forms, case list software, surgical videos, CD-ROM packages, domestic violence speaker’s packages, adolescent sexuality speaker’s packages, and other materials.
The American College of Obstetricians & Gynecologists (ACOG) is the leading professional membership organization for ob-gyns. ACOG counts more than 62,000 members across 12 Districts and 93 Sections, representing regions across the United States, Canada, and Central and South America.
These members maintain the highest professional standards and are united in their delivery of exceptional, respectful, science-backed care for patients.

Yesterday, CMS included the AMA’s new obstetric CPT codes in the 2027 Medicare Physician Fee Schedule proposed rule.
While we appreciate this inclusion, we have serious concerns that CMS is also considering creating 15 new G-codes for 2027, which would maintain the current global payment structure.
ACOG President Camille A. We’re confident that ob-gyns, stakeholders, and payers are prepared to transition away from a bundled coding and payment structure.
Read Dr. Today, ACOG joined the Society for Women’s Health Research and the Women First Research Coalition in launching the National Strategy to Close the Women’s Health Gap.
ACOG CEO Sandra E. “... Gaps in knowledge and options have created space for misinformation to flourish. Women increasingly turn to social media, influencers, and unproven treatments because they are desperate for information and relief,” said Dr. Brooks. “Too often, others profit from that uncertainty. When the research and evidence [are] lacking, misinformation fills the void.
