: We published our finding of reduced fetal lung volume following mild maternal SARS-CoV-2 infection in the early, alpha-dominated phase of the pandemic as a Letter in The Lancet Respiratory Medicine in 2022 (). This prompted us to conduct a follow-up study in the late, omicron-dominated phase of the pandemic, with prevailing hybrid immunity. The non-COVID control group is identical in both studies. There is no overlap in the SARS-CoV-2 positive study cohorts.
