ARDS related to COVID-19 in obstetric patients was an important factor for worse clinical outcomes, with 3-6 times higher death rates than other ARDS etiologies. Pregnant and postpartum women with severe ARDS related to COVID-19 had a lower fatality rate than nonpregnant women, even with associated comorbidity.
