The purpose of this study was to investigate pregnancy outcomes among symptomatic and asymptomatic women infected with coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) in the west of Iran. ⋯ Our findings showed that cesarean delivery and LBW were significantly higher in symptomatic women compared with asymptomatic women.

Randomized Controlled TrialThe effect of patient-selected or preselected music on anxiety during cesarean delivery: a randomized controlled trial.
Background: Women undergoing cesarean delivery may have significant anxiety prior to surgery. Nonpharmacological approaches to anxiety reduction are favored in this patient population. Objective: The aim of this study was to determine the effects of patient-selected or preselected music on anxiety in parturients undergoing scheduled cesarean delivery. ⋯ Conclusion: While preselected Mozart music results in lower anxiety prior to cesarean delivery, patient-selected Pandora music does not. Further investigation to determine how music affects patients, clinicians, and the operating room environment during cesarean delivery is warranted. Clinical trial registration: NCT02732964.
