Statistical methods / analysis
Descriptive statistics will be reported using frequencies and percentages or proportions for binary or categorical data. Percentages will be calculated based upon the number of patients for whom data are available. Continuous or dimensional variables will be summarised using means and standard deviations, with medians and interquartile ranges ( reported for potentially skewed data. Monthly incidence data and pregnancy outcome data will be calculated and reported to participating sites and national governance.
All analyses will be conducted using standard professional statistical software, such as Stata (Stata Corporation, College Station, Texas).

Summary
Brief summary
This is a national study of women with confirmed COVID-19 in pregnancy in Australia. The study will collect information about all pregnant women who are confirmed to have SARS- CoV2 infection. The information will be analysed on a continuous basis to inform ongoing guidance for women and maternity staff as we respond to the pandemic. Specifically, the study will describe incidence, management and outcomes of COVID-19 in pregnancy and identify factors associated with better outcomes for women and their babies.
Anonymous information will be collected by clinicians or clinical researchers who are based in maternity units in the Australia. Data collectors will have been sent a live link to a RedCap database to allow them to notify cases and complete an anonymous data collection form.
SARs-COV-2 is a new strain of coronavirus that has not previously been identified in humans. which causes a respiratory illness, but it is not known what impact it will have on pregnant women and their babies. In order to investigate risk factors, management and outcomes, the researchers plan to extend data collection to include data on all pregnant women with SARS-CoV-2.
The aim of this study is to learn more about the effects of SARS-COV-2 and its treatment on pregnant women and their babies. Pregnant women, are known to be at increased risk of developing more serious problems from respiratory viral infections, as was shown in the MERs, SARS and H1N1 'swine flu' epidemics. But little is currently known about this virus.
This study will collect and report contemporary data to inform ongoing pregnancy and neonatal management in order to optimise modifiable outcomes.
