Impact of Coronavirus Disease-19 "Stay-At-Home" Orders on Preterm Birth in Colorado.

ABSTRACT: In this retrospective cohort analysis of Colorado birth certificate records from April to December 2015-2020, we demonstrate that Colorado birthing individuals experienced lower adjusted odds of preterm birth after issuance of coronavirus-19 "stay-at-home" orders. However, this positive birth outcome was experienced only by non-Hispanic white and Hispanic mothers.
