Association Between the New York State Coronavirus Disease 2019 (COVID-19) Lockdown and Rates of Preterm Birth and Stillbirth Among Individuals With Medicaid Insurance
The New York State COVID-19 lockdown was associated with a modest decline in preterm birth rates, particularly medically indicated preterm birth; there was no change in stillbirth rates. This association was particularly strong in the early part of the pandemic and was slightly more weighted toward medically indicated preterm births.
