Preliminary Post-Dobbs Trends in Emergency Department Use for Early Pregnancy Complications

This preliminary study did not find a statistically significant association between US region and post-Dobbs ED visits for early pregnancy complications. However, given the increasing restrictions surrounding reproductive healthcare access, the ED represents an important setting for the delivery of this care. Further investigations using more robust data sources are needed to understand the effect of prohibitive abortion laws on the ED use and the management of early obstetric complications.
