Acute kidney injury (AKI) incidence is 30% in neonatal intensive care units (NICU). AKI is associated with increased mortality and risk of chronic kidney disease (CKD) in children.

Observational Study
Universal SARS-Cov-2 Screening in Women Admitted for Delivery in a Large Managed Care Organization.
The coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic has created a need for data regarding the prevalence of severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) infection in pregnant women. After implementing universal screening for COVID-19 in women admitted for delivery, we sought to describe the characteristics of COVID-19 in this large cohort of women. ⋯ · The prevalence of SARS-CoV-2 infection in a large diverse cohort of term pregnant women was 0.43%.. · 99% of women accepted SARS-CoV-2 screening on admission to labor and delivery.. · All women with positive test results were asymptomatic at the time of testing..
