Study design
This was a prospective secondary analysis of a cohort with pregnant
women recruited for the research study “Psychological impact and social
support in pregnant women during the lockdown due to the SARS-CoV2
pandemic”. In the present analysis, we included pregnant women that
attended Hospital de la Dona Vall d’Hebron during the COVID-19 lockdown
in Barcelona, Spain, which lasted from 14th March 2020
to 28th Abril 2020. As expected during a strict
pandemic lockdown, these women were exposed to an increased number of
anxiety-triggering circumstances. Psychosocial factors, maternal
demographics, and obstetric outcomes were analyzed as potential
predictors of low birth weight.
