The COVID-19 pandemic brought about many social, psychological, and economic changes. We sought to compare pregnancy and birth outcomes immediately preceding the COVID-19 lockdown to those 12 months later.
This was a retrospective cohort study of people giving birth at a large-volume tertiary medical center in Rhode Island. We compared those who gave birth in February 2020 to those in February 2021. Results: Fewer people delivered in 2021 than 2020 (562 vs. 655). There was a non-significant decrease in the number of primary cesarean deliveries from 2020 to 2021. Insurance status modified this effect as there was a significant decrease in the number of patients with private insurance undergoing primary cesarean (63.6 vs 36.4%, p=0.004). Neonatal complications significantly decreased (55.4% vs 47.4%, p=0.006).
There were differences in sociodemographic characteristics and outcomes of birthing people between 2020 and 2021. The socioeconomic and healthcare landscape caused by COVID-19 altered statewide birthing patterns.
COVID-19 大流行带来了许多社会、心理和经济方面的变化。我们旨在比较 COVID-19 封锁前和封锁后 12 个月的妊娠和分娩结局。
这是一项在罗德岛一家大容量三级医疗中心进行的回顾性队列研究。我们比较了 2020 年 2 月和 2021 年 2 月分娩的人群。结果：2021 年分娩的人数少于 2020 年（562 人 vs. 655 人）。2021 年与 2020 年相比，初次剖宫产的数量呈非显著下降。保险状况改变了这种影响，因为私人保险患者初次剖宫产的数量显著下降（63.6% vs 36.4%，p=0.004）。新生儿并发症显著减少（55.4% vs 47.4%，p=0.006）。
2020 年和 2021 年之间，分娩人群的社会人口特征和结局存在差异。COVID-19 引起的社会经济和医疗保健状况改变了全州的分娩模式。
