The Yale Neonatal Research Team is excited to announce our involvement the National Perinatal COVID-19 Registry. The registry is a collaboration between the American Academy of Pediatrics (AAP), the Vermont-Oxford Network, and MedNAX, and aims to collect national data regarding transmission risk between mother and infant. Our team, run by Caty Buck, Christine Henry and Taryn Zamary, will contribute information about mother/infant dyads born at YNHH whose mother acquired COVID-19 infection within 2 weeks of birth to help inform us of the effects of early maternal infection on infant outcomes. Descriptive results from the national registry will be made available, likely weekly, on the AAP website to help improve counseling of pregnant women with COVID-19 infection, assist hospitals with optimizing infection control practices, and aid the neonatal care team with prediction of infant risks and severity of disease.
Please feel free to reach out to Caty (catherine.buck@yale.edu), Christine (christine.henry@yale.edu), or Taryn (taryn.zamary@yale.edu) with any questions!
